stress relief? what stress relief?
I think I've moved past knitting for stress relief and now feel the need to go target shooting. Any takers?

joyous news!
I found my charger cable to my camera!
Ironically enough, it was in the drawer of my desk. So much for this "putting things away" business.
The camera is fully charged now (it was so dead I had to reprogram it) and tomorrow I will take a picture of my glorious log cabin and some of the other yarn related shenanigans I've been into and blog up a storm.
Until then!

Me, have an opinion on crochet? Never.
Alex: Knitting appears to be a common...er, thread, among the English students I've encountered.
Alex: I wonder why that is.
Me: I'm not sure, cause I never thought the two were related
Me: My grandmother taught me how to sew when I was little, and she tried to teach me to crochet as well
Me: I never could figure it out
Me: but a few years ago, when she got sick, I decided to learn how to knit
Alex : I would have thought knitting was more complicated than crocheting, but I know little about either one.
Me: knitting has two needles
Alex: Right.
Me: crochet uses a single hook, and was invented by Satan himself.
Alex : Oh.
Me : Yes.
Alex : I guess that would explain it.
Me: Yup. He's down in hell right now crocheting doilies and Santa Claus toilet seat covers.
Alex: I wonder why that is.

*sigh*
Stressful, tiring, heart-rending kind of week, but I'll get back to blogging soon.
Anyone got any chocolate to spare?

only ten more pages to write on this blasted paper...
Jody tagged me for this meme. Here are the Ye-Shall-Not-Break-Me Rules:
*link to the person who tagged you
*post the rules
*name 8 things others don't know about you
*link to 8 (give or take a few) other bloggers
(Since my mother reads this blog, I'll try not to say anything too scandalous)
1. Most people don't know that I'm ambidextrous. Sort of. I write with my right hand, but everything else, including knitting, I am a lefty. I think the reason I ended up writing with my right hand is because I saw all the other children using their right hand, and I figured that was the way I was supposed to do it. No one forced me to pick the right. I can write legibly with the other hand, but since it hasn't had the practice of my other hand it isn't as nice.
2. I begged my parents for a sibling. It didn't work, so I adopted my own.
3. I'm not fond of heights, and I hate roller coasters. That doesn't mean I won't do it, cause I don't want to miss out on the experience... but I can assure you, it won't be much fun.
4. When I was in high school I wanted to perform the part of Christine Daae on stage in the Phantom of the Opera. I still have the part memorized, even though I probably can't hit the high notes anymore.
5. It is highly unnerving to me that I've started watching college football this season, even worse, that I like it! I wonder if I'll watch it next year.
6. One of the reasons I became an English major is because I knew my parents would have approved of it as my major. As artsy majors go, it is a bit more practical then what I would have chosen, which would have been music. And that wouldn't have flown well at all.
7. I've always been a big reader, but it wasn't until I was in the seventh grade that I got a lot of positive feedback about my writing. My seventh grade English teacher, Mrs. Templin, and I exchange Christmas cards every year.
Ok, I tag...Gina, Mimi, Allison, Bel, and anyone else who reads this blog but never comments :-p
