On LJ and GW

[tsuki_bug]

You know it's bad when I'm reading LJs (finally) and all I can think of is, "why am I not knitting something??? must start something..." (And actually, I would, for one of my 101 goals, cept I might be going to Spinrite's tent sale next month where they'll have Patons Grace on massive sale, and that's the yarn the pattern asks for, not that I care

You need to get properly addicted to Ravelry. It's crack. :D

Lol, don't get me started on the knitting community. I've been eyeing Blogspot for like over a year, but the bottom line is I have no time.

Lol, I -am- on Ravelry but I'm not really on. I'm a little confused as to how to keep up with it, I guess. Like, LJ has the Friends page, so that's easy. How do I do it on Ravelry? (Also, what's your Ravelry name? I must Friend you!!!)

I'm gathering my leftover balls, I really really am. *adds to your amigurumi* But RL's getting in my way again this week. *kicks it* Are you still at Sylvan?

Oh, I already friended you. And was a sad panda to see that you really didn't use it. I don't really use the friends feature myself, although I think you can get alerts when people do stuff, but I am a fan of the pattern searcher and the groups. I think having a queue on there also helps motivate me to do projects somewhat.

It's okay about the yarn, I am being lazy about sewing some dolls and also starting to think in terms of xmas right now, anyway. One of my friends is getting an afghan, haha. No, I finished at sylvan at the beginning of july because they decided they didn't have hours for me over the summer and dealt those out by seniority. I am working nights at Mall-Wart right now and looking for something less shit. How about you?

Gasp, you did? *runs onto Ravelry* Poke me more often to go onto Ravelry and I'll eventually ease into it. I don't actually know anyone (other than you and I think 2 other ppl...?) so I wouldn't really be using the Friends feature either

I'll get right on it, boss. *salute*

That sucks about the work situation. What were you thinking of doing, then? No one wants to do more undergrad; maybe you should move out if you haven't got the freedom at home to do your thing. Plenty of work out here! haha

Well, working nights means I don't have to deal with customers, which is a blessing. I can do nocturnal but the hours still bug me a bit and the job is totally boring. Basically I just look forward to the paycheque. Some of my coworkers are pretty awesome though and everyone hates working there, so that makes it more tolerable. Like I said, still looking.

(Thanks! haha)

Ravelry profile updated. *bows*

Recently I thought of getting a degree in Social Work. But my parents keep telling me it's "unsafe". Whatever, I don't think that at all, but they're okay with my first option, which is teaching, so right now I'm just sticking with that. Even though I've been hearing from everyone that there are too many teachers right now. Maybe I'll go to another province...

Man, I worked the midnight shift every second weekend during the school year and even though I "handled it" it still definitely took its toll on me. I hope you get something else soon.

I worked some late ones during 4th year myself. Night shifts are better when you don't have to be functional during the day the rest of the week and you can adjust your sleeping patterns. I have to say though, that waking up between 3 and 7pm (usually closer to 7 lately, I haven't been getting to bed right after I get home) every day is starting to annoy me. I miss getting up at such early hours as noon, lol. And for the last couple weekends I've had, people keep making me get up stupid early which requires fucking up my sleep schedule.
