Knitting, not a hobby, but an obsession

You are interchangeable.
Fun, free, and into everything, you've got every
eventuality covered and every opportunity just
has to be taken. Every fiber is wonderful, and
every day is a new beginning. You are good at
so many things, it's amazing, but you can
easily lose your place and forget to show up.
They have row counters for people like you!


What kind of knitting needles are you?

New ipod

So, I finally just went for it and got one of those groovy (yes, I just typed out "groovy") new Ipods that can play video. I had been saving all of my money for a car, but when I realised that I will be able to borrow my mother's anytime I want and could never afford a cool car like hers (without a loan that I don't want) I decided to just get a new ipod. I was going to get a nano, but then I realised I could get 26GB more for just another $50 or so. Besides, now, if I choose to do so, I can watch Lost on my breaks at work. Doesn't that make it worth it? (I'm joking, of course. Or am I?)
So, at the moment I'm taking a short break from importing the majority of my CD collection into my itunes. Before, with just the shuffle, I didn't bother putting much music in the computer, since I only had 1 GB anyway. I'm nowhere near filling the 30 GB this one has. And I like it that way.

BTW, I finally finished a knitting project. That scarf I wrote about got quite a few compliments. Especially when I told people I had made it. I've now decided to teach myself (with the aid of a book, actually) how to knit with double pointed needles. It's going well, though I'm not actually making "something" just practicing.

Back to the music!

Till next I write!

Knitting, why and when did it become cool?

It's exactly my bedtime, and I've got work in the morning, but I want to ask, When did knitting become trendy? Was it about the same time I started, or before or after? I've been knitting for about two years now, (and still no finished projects! Working on that, I promise) and just now, looking for a pattern for a knit wristband, I found countless knitting blogs. Didn't read any of them, but I will in the future, when I'm not thinking, "Ok, if I go to bed now, I'll fall asleep in an hour and get about 7 hours of sleep. Dang it, I know I need 8 and prefer 9, why don't I ever go to bed earlier?!?!" (BTW, yes, I think like that)

Anyway, in case you care to know, I'm currently knitting a cool poncho, really warm, and less than half finished, and a colorful scarf. I'm nearly done with the scarf, which is more for looking good than being warm. It's made with Lion Brand's "Incredible" type yarn, which was an impulse buy while my parents were out of town and I was lonely and bored. It's turning out really cool. I should have finished it in two nights, but here we are, a week later and it's still not done. BTW, it's interesting to knit while watching Batman Begins (great movie), I know, I just did so.

Ok, tired, must sleep.

Till next I write!

Ok...............

Couldn't think of a title, sorry. It's been a week since I last wrote, and I'm sure more important stuff has happened to me than what I'll be writing about here, but that sort of thing is why I keep a spiral bound journal on my bedstand.

Started knitting a poncho last night. My friend and I are making the same pattern with different colored yarns. Proud to find that I knit faster than she does. Petty, but true. My friend's mom also showed me how to blanket stitch the "Starry Night" fleece panel I got awhile ago. Van Gogh was weird. But I love impressionist paintings. I plan on having a Monet themed room in a while. Wish I could afford real Monet paintings, but since I'm only working part time on a modest income, I'll head to Hobby Lobby for prints. Yay!

Ick, just saw a picture of the Man-bat from the new show "The Batman". Ugly.
I actually hate "The Batman". I hate the new character designs (look what they did to Catwoman!) and what they did to the Joker. Sure the first glimpse of the Joker was creepy, but after that, he just got stupid. The real Joker isn't stupid, he's smart and funny and evil, all rolled into one purple suit. Not a clown straight jacket. And I want to know why everyone in Gotham suddenly has ninja skill, even the Penguin. It's just... stupid. But that is only my opinion.

Hah! After the Bible study thing I went to on Tue I actually had an interesting conversation with two people about whether Batman of Superman was better. We were getting way too into it, but she said she prefered Superman, I can't let that go unchallenged, now can I? At least he agreed with me.

My use of pronouns could get confusing, since I refuse to use real names online. Especially if I'm ever going to have people I actually know reading this. I'll try to stay clear on who is who.

Ok, more randomness. What's with the relationship shows on cartoons lately. We have Danny Phantom, a show that frankly I don't watch, but happened to see a few times, with an episode where he falls in love with Sam for one episode. Then Kim Possible in an episode where she (and Shego, if you belive it) loses it for Ron (Shego loses it for Drakken, which is more disturbing. I've been compared to Shego, and took it as a compliment, she's let me down, even if she didn't really mean to). Did hyper "shipper fanfic authors" send in these scripts or what?

Way too much TV talk in this entry. I apologize for living my life in front of the idiot box on weekends. Maybe this Wed. I'll write my thoughts on "Lost."
Really being sarcastic today, watch out. (Shego, what have they done to you? Your hair was in a ponytail!)
