Knitting with no pictures!

I think I'm getting a bit bored with the blog. It's starting to feel more like a job than fun. Since this feeling of procrastination even toward the blog seemed to start when the camera "went on vacation" I think that might be why. I think that the blog just isn't as much fun when there are no yarn pictures to gush over. Yeah, I have mamma's horrible old camera, but even if I could get a few good pictures with it, I can't find the connector cable to hook it up to the computer... I'm considering putting the blog on hiatus until Christmas when I get a new camera (or possibly just before Christmas with a all text Christmas eve post?)

Any who, I'm still just considering that. (let me know what y'all think in the comments)

So knitting without pictures!

Last time I said something about the Jaywalkers being in time out... They are still there.. Did I mention that they got throw clear across the room on the way to time out?

I've done three mitered squares for Mrs. E's baby blanket. Why is it whenever I make mitered squares they turn out more.. trapezoid-ish? I just hope when I put them together that they turn out ok... I think I'll do four, sew then together, and wash 'em and see if they fix themselves (or are fixable) if not I'll regroup with the whole thing. I'm making the pattern up as I go along anyway, so it shouldn't be hard.

And again, I haven't touched anything else.

I know that music playing annoys some people, but I'm working on putting up Christmas music.
It's the Elmo and Patsy "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" CD.

Also since on some computer monitors the black background is hard to see, I'm testing some new color combos on the other blog. (I don't think I've mentioned before that I started a blog about a year ago, but didn't like the name and gave it up. I still have it, but its not viewable. I'm glad I kept it now, for testing things like this on it comes in handy!)

And one last thing. I got the final (I'm pretty sure its the final) volume of the Utawarerumono anime! *happy dance*

I actually forgot to tilte this one...

I haven't posted since Evil, and I really dont have much to say.

Since my camera is still missing, I've been using mom's old one. Its old and it's a peice of junk. (sorry mom but it is) Yeah, I did appreciate my good camera before it got lost. I had been using mom's and I loved the upgrade.. I just want my camera back! *pouts*

Also my Jaywalker is misbehaving, and I have tried to turn the heel a million times, and it still wont cooperate. So it's gonna go in time out for a little while.

I really haven't touched my other projects. I need to start the baby blanket for Mrs. Etherige, and I need to start the only knitted Christmas present I'm gonna give, Sara, because she wants to learn how to knit and will eventually understand the work (and I'm gonna sound like a granny now) love, that goes into hand knit gifts. (no more information than that though, because the Sara sometimes reads the blog, and we wouldn't want to ruin Christmas!)

And now I'm just avoiding the school work that I should be doing right now. I need to read Great Expectations, and put together an oral report on Cystic Fibrosis for health.

Things I need to do over Thanksgiving break

Lets see...

I started Snowflake Fingerless gloves I want to keep working on them...

I need to cast on the baby blanket Mrs. Ethridge is paying me to knit...

I ought to work on Twee and the jaywalkers and the other unfinished/barely started projects.

I have been meaning to draw a nerdy anime girl for my profile pic. Not that I don't like her, I just want one of my own...

I also should work up some sort of idea about how I'm gonna tutor Lindsey, where to start, and things like that...

and read on Inkheart.

I know for sure that isn't it, but I really can't think of anything else..... and probably all I'll get done is knit. And probably just on the snowflakes too.... *sigh* Mom gets to help remind me to do things besides that this week! *nodnod*

Knitting

Jaywalkers




I finished one of my Jaywalkers. I was worried that I wouldn't have enough yarn, because my Mississippi yarn only has 460 yards (both skeins together), and the patern calls for 465. But I finished one with yarn to spare so I will have enough! Yays! Unfortunatly I have come down with a sever case of SSS. I think I'm just momentarily bored with the pattern.




Twee






I finally casted Twee on! I LOVE it! It's so cute!
I think my yarn might be to fuzzy to really show off the patern though. But it's SO soft!







Anastasia Socks




Yeah... haven't started them yet... I did decide to go with the purple for them. Everyone I asked voted purple... I think they'll be pretty.

Well... I balled the yarn at least...








Mom's Prayer Shawl




She is making it for one of her patiants at work. I think she is almost done!
Its pretty. And really (0.o) REALLY soft.









Shorties



Did I ever post pictures of my shorties? No? Well, her it is!

(HA! Just try and laugh at that pwnsome hand modeling Jesse! HAH!)

Only Slightly.... Sick?

Yes, I was (and still have the cough to prove it). That is why there have been no new posts, Mom even told the doctor Friday "You know they're sick when the teenagers goes to bed at 7:30 and doesn't touch the computer for 3 days!" but I have done so much knitting while I have been sick that I actually have a callous on my finger! Not even exaggerating. Its there, I'm just to lazy to take a picture right now. So, because of the "Cold from Hell" this post will be extra long to make up for having done absolutely nothing for days (and it may be days before I post what I am typing now because I'm doing this while working on the 10,000 lbs of make-up work I'm doing).

First up! Knitting!

Well the sock was giving me problems

Even after I saved it from Bella!

but when I got sick and knitting was all I had to do it decided to behave.. (I think it was attention deprived)

And here we go, now that its behaving (and why do I no have any pictures of all of what I have done so far?)

Anime!! *whoot!*




I gots a BLEACH poster! (yes my wall is green!) This is a huge deal for me cause I don't have a chance to buy a lot of stuff....


I have been watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but disk 3 seems to be "back ordered" on netflix.... (IF YOU HAVE IT HURRY AND FINISH!!) and I found out that even though Utawarerumono disk 3 is doing that weird "save" thing... You can watch it on your computer... so I did and should be getting disk 4 on Wednesday... (yay maybe I can finally finish it! yay for ElluluXHakuro!! ahem...sorry... couldn't help it...) And I have started watching Death Note since it comes on Adult Swim now... I know I always said I didn't want to watch it (the opening creeps me out) but, I give in... it rock.... and Oh! what I would give for a Death Note of my very own!



Family Fest! *gag*






What was my mother thinking? She knows I don't like little kids. She has already even accepted the fact that it is very likely she will never have grandchildren! Why, oh why, did she sign me up to work the space jump at the Church's hopefully-never-to-be-annual Family Fest?

(Blogger got me again I accidentally deleted the picture of the little boy at the Fest and it wont let me reload it... so imagine a cute little boy next to a space jump here is the text that went with it that now goes with that mental image)

This little dude? Yeah, he is one of the many reasons I avoid contact with people under 10 years of age (except of course for "OMG YOUR SO CUTE!!" to a little baby) This little guy had an unhealthy crush on me.... He kept bringing me "gifts". Some pine straw, an empty coke can, a leaf, a shoe.... (no joke) and he didn't want to go in the space jump. He wanted to crawl in, and slide out. Also he enjoyed jumping on the inflated entrance to the space jump and hopping down it. As much as I...dislike kids I couldn't let him jump off and kill himself, so I had to catch him... once he figured that out, he did it again... and again... "bounce, bounce, CATCH ME!" course he didn't say that, he never said anything.... but *shudders* NEVER having kids!




School

is evil. nuff said.


Ok well I have been sick and all the teachers (except Coach Kelly! luv ya man!) kept saying things like (nastily by the way) "Well if you don't have it today you better have it tomorrow!"
*coughcough* even tough it clearly states in the handbook that all students have the same number of days missed to turn in make up work.*coughcough* (I should wait till Wednesday to turn it in just on principle! I'm just sayin is all....)

But THANK YOU COACH KELLY! He is the only teacher that said something like "I know you have a lot of makeup work, just get it to me sometime this week." and that was with a test too! He got a lot of teacher-of-the-year points for that one! and yes... right now I am avoiding that makeup work...

Also.... Great Expectations....we happen to be reading this...And I happen to speak English....This is like...the best way I can put it.. like, My Fair Lady time period, ghetto British... I am not getting a word of it...I did ok with Pride and Prejudice, but this is just weird... I am a good student, so I have only one question....

Can I rent the movie?!


One last thing. YAY KAITI GOT A NEW COMPUTER!!!! I missed IMing you girl!

NERD ALERT!

O....M.....G..... I got on ravelry.....o.o.....

For those of you who don't know Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/) is a knitting and crocheting community. It is still beta testing but has had overwhelming success. I was number 13 thousand and something on the list, and there were upwards of 20,000 BEHIND me on the list.... *squee* I got in!!! I have joined the Mississippi group and the only Anime group they have. Now I know all the anime fans are thinking "What? Just one? No Way!" Yes sadly just one. I don't feel myself an established enough knitter or anime-watcher to make another though, and I am so new that I don't even know if there needs to be another looks fine to me...

My account there is KittyKat and my mom is also on Ravelry which is why I don't have a much cooler user name, and why in the "blog" spot is empty... I will promote my blog (once I get a few more posts) on ranger, neopets, and the like. My mother will most likely only be told about this blog (or whatever blog at the time) when I go off to Timbuktu or somewhere for college and this would be how she "keeps up with me"

(For years later when mom is reading the archives of my blog when I tell her about it) Hi mom! yes I have had this planned for a long time! ^_^


anyway! Off to play with Ravelry!

Hey y'all!

Well it is 11:14pm and I can't (or won't) sleep.... And I had been thinking about maybe, at some point, possibly starting a blog... and so here it is.... So I guess that this blog is just gonna deal with my life and all the nerdy stuff (hence the name ^_^) that I'm into.... I can't spell worth a crap, so don't expect it... Also as you can tell I have a fondness for the "......" things!

My Nerdy Stuff

• I knit.... I love it.... I'm terrible at it...but I love it! Currently I am knitting a sock (don't get me started it has decided that I am evil and must be destroyed) and some.... green and blue.....thing dunno what its gonna be... but its gonna be awsome! *thumbs up*

• I watch anime and read manga.... Now I know that some people who might have come upon this blog from some forum post I made or from the rangers or skirts or something....some ANIME place.... y'all are probobly giving me the "Anime and Manga are not nerdy blah blah yak yak ect. ect." yeah it is nerdy, but I love it! and y'all just kinda need to face facts that, yes, it is in fact nerdy. Embrace it! I did! Think about it how many of the "cool" or "popular" (there is a whole other rant there) even know what anime or manga are? I mean I am sure there are some, but the vast majority dont.... ok this is way to long for one bullet point....

• I am a science nerd! Love me some science! I think that me and Shelby might have creeped the others in the advanced science class out with our enthusiasm over the fetal pig disection.... we thought it was the coolest thing and made..... crudballs.... I was gonna put the video here but my computer is slow and the page is taking forever to load.... It might because I am currently prinint 20 pages full of brightly colored anime pictures to plaster my walls with.... (mom and/or dad, if you are reading this.... it is 5 pictures.... and they are all black and white....*wink*) cudballs... now that I have gotten there I dont know how to do it....http://hs.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1003032718061 will that do it? I dont know... maybe good luck!

I know that there is more nerdy things about me but by now it is 11:42pm and I am not thinking very well so nighty night! And I hope this blogging thing works out and is fun (cause, if it isnt fun.... yeah I will probly quit so yeah... lets hope its fun!

(ps. blogger.com has the crappiest fonts I have ever seen!
