Distractions from Origami

[Razzmatazz]

Recreational maths.

[Harpseal]

Origami sort of is recreational maths. It gives your fingers exercise and is very mathematical! What do you mean by recreational maths anyway?

[Razzmatazz]

I take my father's university textbooks and read them and learn math far beyond my level.

So you can do origami during your lessons, because you know it all already!

Trampolines distract me, I am obsessive with trampolines.

Girls are a distraction from origami!

Girls are a distraction from origami!

Agreed.
Studies also distract... a lot.
All of my recent folds have been during class.

My maths teacher loves origami but gets really angry if you do it during the lesson. I was making a pleated parabola, which my friend called the universe because pleated parabola sounded too posh for him, anyway, the teacher caught me making it and confiscated it.
My friend was at me for ages afterwards saying "the maths teacher stole the universe! Algebra will become the only subject compulsary for all humans!"
It sounded funny then, but not when i typed i now.

studying, friends, work, school, pretty much everything. and also women... i have not been folding that much at all. it takes me several weeks to finish a model now, instead of a few days.

[Harpseal]

What about the holidays?

[phillipcurl]

meh, nope, thats usually when i fold.

[Harpseal]

That's what i meant.

The biggest thing that stops me folding is my lack of motivation to make tissue foil...

Guitar, skateboarding, and my girlfriend are probably the biggest distractions. I would say school too but I usually fold during school XD I have no clue how I have good grades. All I do is fold!

Luckily I don't have too many distractions- I probably one of few here under 20 who does not care at all for videogames or tv. I also don't care about social things- friends, girlfriends,etc.

So, probably skateboarding would be my biggest distraction- I'm obsessed with learning basically every flip trick ever invented, and I'm getting close.

School as well I guess, but I don't let that distract me much.

My book takes time from folding, but that is about origami, so I don't know if that counts as a distraction.
