In theory, I've done these before on another blog, but as this is a new start, and the first time I've attempted a Chicken here on LJ, I'm starting at #1. I'm working with my own set of review questions, which are definitely a work in progress and liable to change over time. See Havi's posts at The Fluent Self for the origin of the term "Weekly ( Read more... )

Well, in a manner of speaking. I suppose the "perfect" Saturday would involve sitting in a perfectly cleaned home of my own with the rest of my roommates out the door while I sit in the sunshine through the window and move from listening to my music with words pouring out perfectly onto the page to a spot of knitting while watching all of the ( Read more... )

It's against the natural order of the world for it to still be dark out when I leave for work. Daylight savings time is of the devil and I despise it. (Also, I still haven't reset my own system so my time-sense is all screwed up ( Read more... )

Knitting
I've got the steeks all worked up on my sweater, and have cut open the second armhole, seamed the second shoulder, and picked up the second arm.

Welcome to the "February is for Finishing - Knitting Edition" post.

THE BASIC IDEA
The title sounds far more ominous than it really is. It starts with knitting. The knitting community I'm part of says that "February is for Finishing".

Um.  Hi.

I haven't been around much.  And I'm not actually 100% sure that this is a change in that particular trend, but ::shrug::.

I want to write things down and record them.  I want to keep a running tally of my life, online, and use the materials and tools that I have at my disposal to do so... I'm just not sure *how* to do that.

That's not ( Read more... )

 I think I may've just blown up my f-list adding comms.  I'm sort of doing that thing where I'm jumping into *everything* headfirst.

Moving has commenced.  Or rather, the unpacking stage of moving has commenced.  I am inordinately proud of myself for what I accomplished today, and there will be pictures, but not tonight because I'm also exhausted ( Read more... )

It. Is. Hot ( Read more... )

It's all
