brainstorm!!!!

when i am on trains or watching TV or cooking or laying in bed, i make lists. sometimes this is uncontrollable. games like the ‘run-on-band-name’ game (ie no means no doubt, beastie boys to men without hats, concrete blonde redhead) can be very dangerous for me. it becomes a compulsion. my brain will pick a random topic and go to work, often cutting into valuable studying, working, volunteering, housework, and video game playing time.

luckily, the compulsion to list/ to brainstorm has served me well in my professional and academic endeavors. when focussed, the desire to monkey around with words and concepts can breed some useful results.

useful. let’s skip ahead to that part.

some of you know that i am going to be purchasing a pin press in the coming months - and start producing pins for bands/ organizations and stuff, and possibly join forces with D and others to create some lovely pins with their *adorable* drawings on them. and so, even more important than configuring a template to print the pin faces in large quantities, i need to think of a name for my little company.

- parallel pin pressing company
- bombs away pin pressing company
- yebi pin pressing company
- new words pin pressing company
- choke hold pin pressing company
- the merch pin pressing company
- sunday morning pin pressing company
- rotten cherries pin pressing company
- ponderous pin pressing company
- a certain girl pin pressing company
- one piece at a time pin pressing company

as you can see, this is in the phase where it is totally random - and i am throwing things out there that i would never really consider using. i am looking to find a balance between vocalizing the creativity and collaboration that i look forward to putting into my pin making projects, while still having a name that is recognizable and... well... somewhat palatable. make sense?

brainstorm!!!
