Use/less/ful
I keep thinking I should start using my LJ again. I haven't written much for quite a while now. Not that I lead a terribly exciting life, which is a good thing, but it's been a part of my life for quite a while. I used to write a lot when I was unhappy. Now I'm happy and I don't write that I'm happy. What gives self! Hell, I've even become acclimated with my job and I'm finding that I get less frustrated than I was getting at the begining. It helps that I'm working mostly by myself so I can just go into my own music-fueled headspace, which generally insulates me from feelings of frustration.
Or at the very least, I could turn this into a journal about my knitting and crocheting projects, since in the past year or so I've seriously ramped up my crafts. It's gone from a dalliance to a full blown hobby that I enjoy thoroughly. I've realized it's my creative outlet. I can't draw, paint, sing, write fiction, but put a pair of knitting needles in my hands, or a crochet hook, and a pattern, and I'm a happy Oana. Plus I love when people go "oh wow, you made that?!" hehehe.
Speaking of knitting, I've already started on my Christmas present knitting. I have a few things on my To Do list, some hard (round lace shawl, I've never knit lace before!), some cute (knit turtles!) some silly (crocheted bride and groom for Kané's sister and her fiance), some indirect requests (apparently word of my zombies has reached as far as Europe and there are people who would love to have some). I started now becaue ideas hit me, and because the earlier the better. I don't want to be sitting in Dani's house at Christmas, hiding in a room, furiously trying to finish $gift on December 24th, like I did last year lol. Though of course this means that once I'm done with things I'll have to be patient in waiting to give them to the intended recipients lol. I'm terrible with patience. You should've seen me waiting to get a set of interchangeable circular knitting needles. I had to wait 8 days for them, and it was torture!
But I think I'm too self centered to only talk about crafts and no other part of my life. When I do get around to talking about my life here.
