Sort of awesome/not so awesome
Sometimes I get asked by cool people to help them with cool projects. I almost always say yes, but that's in part because I know that often times cool people are also, well, a little flakey and most of the time I can say yes knowing that they'll never actually take me up on it. I get to feel supportive, but I also don't actually have to help because the person is over-extended/flakey/not walking their talk/whatever and the cool project never comes to fruition.
Is that sad or just the way things are?
I think I must owe the karmabank somehow, though ... because whenever I ask people for help/favors (which I do A LOT), I always take them up on it because I'm an obsessive planner and if someone says they'll help me, I want to take advantage of it.

i have such great ideas and no one to collaborate with. and when i do find someone and they're all 'ya! this is great! let's do this! i'll do that!' - they don't. i get all excited and then very disappointed.
