Or I would buy a lot of computer games. It would drain my bank account when this happens.

When I do spend a lot I do similar things, I think I'll be amazing at art, spend tons of money on art supplies. Think I'll be a great photographer, spend tons of money on photography equipment, etc it goes on and on. When I do it I'm convinced that is the ONE thing I want to do and will be great at Lol I definitely am overambitious with my random life changing "goals" I come up with when manic.
