How to excersize your creativity when you have nothing to do

Alright, let's say you are in some sort of situation or place and either feel you have nothing to do or are just bored, you can "excersize" your creativity. First of all, look for something that catches your eye. It could be furniture, architecture, etc. Now you've seen it, think of how you could recreate it in Lego Bricks, you don't really need a pile of bricks in front of you, just use your mind.

It doesn't matter if you are thinking in terms of Minifig scale or real life scale, just as long as you are thinking how you can put together the object/room/etc, then you are at least using your creativity to think of not only how the bricks connect to make that fascinating shape you need to make, but also what works and what doesn't. And best of all, when you think up a Lego impossibility, you can rethink it without having to take time to deconstruct a real model.

If you are done, and still have time, you could do it again but with a different object.

I'm posting this up here because I don't think I can fit it into a Profile Feed. Still, I hope this is interesting to other people.

Surprisingly this came out of nowhere when me and swedish and ace were discussing this.

Fun Fact: SNOT building helps a lot if you're going to a small scale, and if you are, 1x1x1's with studs on all four sides are one of the most valuable pieces around.

Right, well... *sigh* ...I've been keeping this secret for a while... ...I'm not who I say I am. I'm not a 14 year old male teenager that is Scottish, I'm a 1400 year old male Time Lord... ...that is Scottish. I've been flying through time in a Time Machine, cleverly disguised as a porta-potty, a prota-potty which is smaller on the inside, but with handlebars outside to hold onto. I've had companions, oh yes, companions come with me. Mr Pencil, Pen-ny and Ruberr to name a few. I've seen them come, I've seen them go, I've even seen some fall and burn in the Omega Parallel Time vortex, but I move on, with a new face to take the empty space. And hence I float through time and space, striving to take all signs of sanity out the past and into the present. My home being RRU, where I've been attempting to learn not only about humankind, but about how advanced humanity has gotten... ...which is the same as learning about humankind. ... Oh, to hell with it, I'm pulling your leg. ;)

I have no idea what SNOT means in code, so a rather gross image came to my head.

SNOT is a short version of the Lego fan term "Studs Not On Top". Basically, instead of stacking bricks upwards, you use bricks to make the build stem out-the-ways.
