Wait, What?
Crazy
Over the rainbow
I am crazy
Truly gone fishing...
They must have taken my marbles away!
Happy 2010! Only 23 days late...
I've lost 70 pounds so far since June of last year. It's a pretty good start, but I do have a long way to go. A loooooooong way to go.
One thing that I find most disturbing is that the more wieght I lose, the fatter I actually feel. Which I think is absolutely BSC. Well, not completely. I think partially it is me actually truly looking at myself instead of glossing over a lot of it, which... yes, I really had no earthly actual clue about how heavy I really was. I can see this now for what it was, what with my clothes now really being incredibly ill fitting. Both awesome (yay for losing weight) and awful (boo for being poor and now needing to buy new clothes). I can also see it in pictures. I look at pictures of me now and go, woah I'm fat. But I look at pictures of me taken 6 months ago and... omfg.
I'm going slightly mad
I'm going slightly mad
It finally happened (happened)
It finally happened (oh yes)
It finally happened
I'm slightly mad!
Just very slightly mad...
and there you have it!
My poor Sucks. I'm near the interesting part of the second sock when I give up and knit something else entirely. And will probably finish that up this week pending me not just sitting around wasting time on the Internet. Which I do entirely too much of. I surf the same three sites over and over... like when you were a kid and would stare into the fridge for a long time, then go away and then go back and stare some more, as if something magically new would be out there... but it's not, and eventually your mom would get mad at you. But perhaps it is just me.
Back on point though. The sucks I will try to finish in February. I hope then to start working on a sweater or two. Also, I'm looking forward to knitting an obnoxiously pink hat for my little niece. Also, more socks. My biggest problem is looking way to far forward on these things, at patterns and at yarn (which are so interesting!) and not knitting the things I'm actually working on. So I am going to try my best to refocus. And get the damn Sucks done!
Speaking of Sucks... Work has ... well, no. It hasn't sucked. It's once again the syndrome of having nothing to do to having more than enough to do. Also, I had my very first big project move to Production this past Friday, which was very exciting. I feel like I know a helluvalot more about everything than I did. Not that I'd ever accuse myself of knowing anything, mind. I'd been playing with dolls my whole life and then suddenly was asked to build one. I felt a bit like Lilo from Lilo and Stitch... where she proudly showed off her doll to her peers, and they rejected both her and her doll. Snobby little brats. Poor Lilo throwing the doll (which, yes, did not look like a normal doll, but there were reasons she came up with) and walking away... only to come back and snatch it up into her arms with such love! Ah! I love Lilo so much! That was me! That doll was my program! Ah!!! (Though really, v2 which is what went in was a lot better). Still, despite the stress and heartache and too much caffeine making me ill, it was still worth it. Likely back to a lull though...
Well, I'm off to watch some Utena with some friends, and I suggest you do the same. Well, 'cause it is a damned good anime. And I leave you with this:
People say that I'm crazy
But I'm not that way inclined
I know what I know
And I'll happily show
That madness is all in the mind!
(Pink Floyd, Queen and Madness respectively... props to my UK bands!)
