i have not had the urge to write in here for ages, but tonight somehow i do.  i moved mostly across the country to colorado.  i am well-pleased with colorado, and i am surprised that i was brave enough to move to a state where i know no one.  actually the person i know that lives closest to me is an ex-boyfriend i have no intention of ever talking ( Read more... )

it's been super-chaotic.  i think that i may have finally settled into a job where i will get more than two paychecks.  yay!  although, i kinda cheated.  i was thinking about quitting autumnwood because i realized that i don't like the structure of an stna job, but i was lucky.  the woman who was the activities assistant for years and years quit ( Read more... )

i am currently over my last crush hence enough free time to knit and read.  yay for no more obsessing and worrying!

somehow in the last month or so, my life has come down to two things--knitty and reading.  i currently have two scarves, a piece of knitting that i am using to learn new techniques that is also slated for felting, a ball of yarn attached to circular needles which is to become a bag (somehow), and six skeins of beautiful hand-dyed noro yarn coming ( Read more... )

sometimes i just wish that someone would tell me what i am supposed to.  *sighs*  too much thinking....

while this is completely obvious, it is really difficult to remove a captive bead.  so i'm going back to piercology to buy more jewelry for my nose.  and, this is the intelligent part, having someone there take the captive bead off and switch the jewelry.  *giggles*  i tried to do it myself yesterday, and then i convinced my sister to try today.  ( Read more... )

today i was making my budget for the rest of the month and checking over my checking account register.  i also happened to check my final hourly slip with my pay stub from my last paycheck.  turns out that they did not pay me for my hour and thirty minutes on overtime.  while this is the first time that i have noticed such an occurence, i was ( Read more... )

okay, okay.  i'm not really in love.  however i am in love with my vertical hood piercing.  it's just like being in love, but it's perfect because i feel as though i am in love with the entire universe.  wow.  *giggles*  i am so pleased by this piercing.  i suspect that i have actually turned into a teenage boy.  all i think about is sex.  this is ( Read more... )
