Knitta, Please.
Girl (aged 16?): Do you have those like circle scarves?
Me: They're short and they just sit on your neck?
Girl: Yeah, they're just a circle. They have no beginning or end.
Me: No, we don't have those. By the way, they're called "cowls."
Girl (very seriously): No, they're called CIRCLE scarves.
Post Christmas Giggling
If you follow my father’s twitter, you are aware I tuned into my family’s Christmas via webcam this year. During the chat, we reminisced about the Christmas my sister and I discovered there was no Santa Claus and upon immediate discovery, I told my entire class that Santa didn’t exist and all efforts to continue the charade were futile. My dad’s response: “They were...
Grad School
Despite my best efforts, I’m not a total failure. Grad school in 2009 might ACTUALLY happen.
Decent employment on the other hand… well, the jury is still out on that one.

I can’t even talk about this with you. It’s so disgusting.
An Open Letter (to the Homeless Man)
Dear Homeless Man,
I really wish I yelled, ‘I’m only 15!” rather than just duck and run when you crossed the street, almost got hit by a car, and tried to hug me and simultaneously stab me with a toothpick, just because you were creepy and gross and I was already having a rotten day and you just helped it THAT much more.
Gross on you,
Christine

I agree with this so much.
finished object friday returns!
This week I took a break from my Glee to work on a couple other projects. I finished one and I’m about 75% done with another. Here’s my finished:
It’s nice, it’s warm, and it’s pink! I decided to go for a softer color since I already have so many bright colors. I think I used Nature’s Palette or something similar. Just a 1x1 rib and it took me a...
I received a book from my best friend titled, ‘Don’t Go Where I Can’t Follow.”
I thought of what it meant for a long time and eventually I attached a “Just” to the beginning.
It made me happy, like she was approving of my move, and it made me sad, because I never ever ever want to go where she can’t follow.
I’ve got nothing.
(not a depressing nothing, just nothing to write.)

I must say that when it comes to cute guys, I am always at a loss. If I ever get interviewed by a guy I find attractive, I am in deep, deep trouble.
My wit goes out the window and I rely on my ability to gather somewhat coherent sentences. Really, my eyes get bigger and I get shorter and I just end up mumbling like a child. That is until someone nudges me and I get started then suddenly I am...
Nambla month is over! I’m taking a blogging break for today to focus on updating my resume, catching up on reading, and working on this never ending sweater.
I will be back shortly.
