Bill and I just got back from the most awesome weekend ever. in which we attended the wedding of ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) riki_kiki_taco me as co-maid of honor and he as sexy in a suit guy. the wedding was awesome and about 500 times more festive than mine, (mostly due to the fact that Lee's family REALLY likes to dace, and that over half those in attendance were Oswego alumni) the fun included a rousing game of volleyball with the bride in her wedding dress, and me getting all weepy over their first dance. also, Bill and I got plenty of slow dancing in, he rocks. Bill also took like 5000 pictures, and will posting them eventually so keep an eye out. then today before heading home Bill took me out on a date at the Rosemont Gifford Zoo at Burnet Park. where we spent hours wandering around checking out all the cool critters and taking pictures and just plain enjoying ourselves. we even watched feeding time at the penguin exhibit. then we headed home. and we found a new birds nest on out bathroom window. no eggs yet, but none the less, awesome! like I said, awesome weekend. now I need to go collapse.

For those who don't know, my friend riki_kiki_taco is getting married, and I'm a bridesmaid (payback, I'm sure, since she was my maid of honor) A month or so ago I ordered the bridesmaid's dress and it finally came in. I tried it on last week and nearly cried. You see, when they measured me I was exactly on for one size, but they always say to order a little bigger than what you measure, due to sizing weirdness. So I ordered the next size up. Well, when I tried it on it fit perfectly from the waist down, YAY! But I could have fit a whole other person into the gaping space at the bust. BOO! I swear to god, the dress was at least a good six inches past my bust and I'm not all that small, I wear a D cup! It was horrible! Bill jokes I could have padded my bra with a couple of basketballs and still had room, and he wasn't far off. In a panic I called Lillean's Alterations in Watertown and took it in. through shear luck I managed to get the same woman who made my wedding dress for me, this woman is magic with a sewing machine, so I began to feel a little better. (Although she did nearly laughed when I came out of the dressing room wearing the dress :( ) Anyways after pinning off a good two to four inches on each side, the dress began to actually look like a dress again. I go in next week with the strapless bra for fine tuning and then I can take it home! (By the way Momo, everybody in the shop while I was trying it on commented on how nice the dress looked (once it was pinned) and I do have to admit, it looks really awesome!, you are like, the best bride ever! Oh yeah, and Inga wants to know if you want us to use the straps that came with the dress or no? She says she can make it fit better with straps, but you are the bride.)

Last Saturday, Bill and I got to watch a most awesome performance by the incredibly talented kingofthewho. Over a week gone and I'm only just now getting around to posting, I suck. A month or so ago, dancingwriter announce that they would be in my area on vacation and she and kingofthewho were wondering if there were any venues that kingofthewho might display his musical and storytelling talents. I, of course working at a coffeehouse that routinely hosted local musical talent did a pretty good Arnold Horshack impersonation in my excitement. kingofthewho and dancingwriter were wonderful, and the performance was simply amazing! Lots of storytelling of old Celtic myths (he does a very good eagle impression btw.), and some awesome music. Bill and I bought his new CD and have played it almost every day since. (The round thing, and blood of summer are my favorites.) The night ended far too soon, but we are hopeful that we will have the chance to listen to another wonderful night of song and story next year; I just wish we lived closer so we could hang out with them more often. (I took a picture to commemorate the night, but my photography skills suck, and it's quite blurry :( ) Tags: friends, happyears

we are back from Rhinebeck! Bill and I had an awesome time, we left Friday morning, got to Albany and after checking in immediately tried to find some food. first we went to Colonie Center, but their food court sucked, there were only three places! blech, so we decided to try the Crosgates mall, even worse, they had a decent food court, but the place was HUGE and loud and packed, so as soon as we finished eating we beat a hasty retreat. Saturday morning was breakfast at Brugers Bagels(YUM!) and then Monica and Lee arrived, got their breakfast and we headed to Rhinebeck. OMG it was sooo awesome!!!!!!! for a Rhinebeck rundown, check out my knitting blogafter that Monica and Lee joined us for an excellent dinner at the Bangkok Thai restaurant. after that it was collapse back at the motel. after not getting nearly enough sleep Bill and I took off Sunday morning for the last day of the festival. we were going to come back to Albany afterwards and do some grocery shopping (there are some Dahls and curry pastes that we have only been able to find at ethnic groceries that we just do not have in our area) but we were just so tired that we decided to just come home instead. I'm glad we did, I'm still a little tired today, but very happy. Tags: friends, knitting, outside, platypus

So how was my Memorial Day weekend? Bad and good. Since I work in a tourist town in a seasonal restaurant I worked yesterday and today, and boy were we busy. And of course I had to go and do something stupid Saturday and I think I broke my ass. Ok, I don't really think I broke it, but it really hurts. See, we moved the bird feeders to a pole in our front yard, and we can't see them from our living room window any more, but we can see them from the window on our front door, but it's really tall up, so I had this little stool I would stand on so I could see out. well, I was looking at the birds and I called Bill over to come look too, so he climbed up on the stool with me, (this was a tiny stool, at this point I only really had one foot on the stool and the other was hanging of the end) we saw a grackle do something weird, so Bill jumped down to go look it up in his bird book. Well when he got down, I didn't move back to the middle of the stool, and it tipped, the leg broke off, and I went flying. Limbs went everywhere, and my tail bone hit the stool on the way down. Very painful. Very. Then work today was extra busy, and I could bend over and standing up from a sitting position really hurt, but it wasn't that bad because the awesomely cool ourika came down to visit, and we had a great time wandering around town and chatting with her. (YAY!) Tags: friends, owies, work

I feel totally gross, I was standing over the stove at class today for way too long making crêpes, and then I had to do pots, I’m all sweaty/greasy smelling, I feel all greasy and filthy, and my hair is a mess. When I get home from work I wanna go take a shower before I do anything else. The computer here is downloading some windows updates it apparently needs. I’m not complaining, it gives me an excuse to stay online and read my LJ and play around. Tomorrow Bill’s coming over and we’re going to hang out and then go to Oswego to meet some friends and see the Vagina Monologues at 7. (Note to self, get to Hewitt Union by at least 6:30 to buy tickets) Hopefully when I get home from work (and after my shower) I can get a hold of Monica and figure out when she’s going to come over and play with all the happy, happy knitting stuff I have acquired. And hopefully put down a time tomorrow when she can come over and quiz Bill. ;) *Happy Sigh* While talking on the phone with Bill last night I realized (again) just how super awesome he is. He cares and even backs up my rants and understands why I feel the way I do about things that annoy the hell out of me in life, and feels the same way about things. And he totally doesn’t belittle or make fun of me for my ideas. That’s one thing I definitely don’t get at home and rarely got when I was with Dave. I still have difficulty believing that this whole thing is real, and that I’m not just dreaming. Everything seems so perfect, more right that anything else I’ve had before. I keep waiting for the shoe to drop and find out something awful or have something terrible happen to make it all go to hell. *sigh* Well updates are almost done downloading, better go install and all that jazz. Toodlies all. Tags: food, friends, platypus, skool

I was reading through mactavish’s Gay marriage memorable posts. Reading about all those people finally given what they deserve and about all the people supporting them and helping out. It just makes me so happy. And pissed at the same time, pissed because some people actually HATE the fact that these loving, monogamous, committed couples are getting married and receiving the same rights as millions of other married couples just like they deserve, because they are the same gender. I wish I were in CA so I could go and show my support right there at the line. But I’ll do what I can here; write letters to MY congressperson, and letters to all of those who made this possible, thanking them for their bravery and open-mindedness. Eric and I were discussing this in the cafeteria earlier and I was amazed and horrified by all the dirty looks we got from the BASIC table and other tables around us (yes we were talking in normal voices, they were listening in.) I just cannot understand why somebody would be so against giving everybody equal rights, especially in such an important issue. I mean really, how is two people who love each other deeper and are committed to each other reaping the benefits of social institution harm you in any way? :: shakes head :: I just do not understand some people, and I don’t think I ever will.

It’s really nice outside, the sun is shining, and the ice is melting. The birds are even singing a nice little song. Class got out early today, so I actually have a little time to rest and relax before running off to work. I’m catching up with all the comics I missed over the break, and watching news on TV. Woo, I feel so dual natured, or something. I miss cuddling with Bill already. But I get to talk to him tonight. And Saturday he’s going to come over and we’re going to go to Oswego for the day and visit all my Oz friends and watch the Vagina Monologues. (Lindsay, Momo and Brandon, you better be findable or I will be very pouty and sad) yar, dad is being a pain in the ass about the computer, I better go. toodlies Tags: friends, platypus, weather

Only a few hours before I get to go see Bill. *squee!* hehe I think I may have gained him bonus points with my mother the other day, because I asked her if it was ok if he and I went to Oswego to see the Vagina Monologues. Before that, mom was going to go with me, mostly because she didn’t want me to be driving alone (even though I’ve done it a million times) so not only did Bill save her from having to watch that ‘horrible’ vagina monologues with her daughter, (yes that’s a good thing apparently) but also, he doesn’t mind that kind of thing, which is also a good thing. I’m doing laundry right now, (well actually right now I’m at work, but I started my laundry before I left home) it desperately needs to be done, or I won’t have any chef’s whites for class tomorrow. I’m starting to get twitchy nervous about meeting Bill’s family. Especially Annie. I hope they all like me. I have a tendency to get really klutzy when around boyfriend’s family. (I once broke Dave’s shower, and shattered a glass all over the kitchen.) Lalala There’s really nothing for me to do here at work today, I’m just sitting around for 4 hours making up for the time I’ll be missing later on today. But even then I wouldn’t have anything to do. Blah. I really tempted to write on my time sheet that I was here for the 4 hours and just leave early. But I know that would be wrong. Although I feel justified in reading through mactavish’s memories of gay marriage stories here at church. My grandma and I had a fight over gay marriage yesterday at dinner. Yar. Stupid bigots piss me off, especially when it’s my family. Meow. Tags: friends, pets, platypus, sex, vagina

And I don’t have any chopsticks :: pout :: Tylenol is definitely helping my back a little, and proper posture always helps. Today is my long day; I’m stuck here until 5:00. I was pretty much finished with everything I needed to do by 11:00, but I still have to stick around. I keep thinking about Bill I feel so obsessive, but I can’t help it, he’s so sweet and awesome and all that mushy stuff. :D I can’t wait until tomorrow, I get to go up and visit him. And meet the furry people. *squee!* I feel like Kiki on a sugar high. :: poing poing poin gpoing poing poing poing :: Speaking of chopsticks, I forgot to mention in my post about valentines but while Bill and I were at the Thai restaurant I was actually able to show him how to use chopsticks, and he said it was impossible! :: beam :: I feel so special. I am so bored sitting here. There’s really nothing for me to do but sit around and knit. (not that I’m complaining about being able to knit…) Bill’s mother knits, I feel like I already have a foot in the door to his parents liking me. (and they sound pretty cool too) All I have to worry about is winning over the puppy doggy, and I’m stopping at the mall to pick up some doggy cookies before I head over so that should help ;) Snarf came over earlier and dragged a bunch of crap upstairs to the office storage room today. Now the office looks a little better, but there is still a bunch of JUNK in the corner that needs to be cleaned out, and I can’t do it. And then after he left I noticed a pile of bags and a box shoved in another corner that I forgot to have him take up. And the box is way too heavy for my to handle. *sigh, ah well. Did I mention that I’m bored? The internet is dial up here, and painfully slow. *ahem* I MISS BILL!!!! Ok, had to do it, sorry ;) Blech. Think I’m going to go knit or read or something. Toodlies.

I feel better now. By back still hurts, but after about 1/2 hr of creative stretching, meditating and laying stiff as a board it feels better. And now I’m not quite so headachy and fuzzy headed. Mom wants me to help her with the Statistics test tonight (I have to help he with the online part, I refuse to do her work for her) so I may not be able to go to Bryan’s and watch anime like we had planned. That kind of makes me sad, I haven’t seen him in a while, and I’m going through anime withdrawal. I have everything done here at work. But I still have to stick around until five so I can make up for the hours I missed earlier this week and for the hours I’m planning to miss Tuesday when I go to visit oaksongI keep finding myself being tempted to order something from the Chinese restaurant next door, but I know I shouldn’t because it’s bound to be greasy and bad for me. And I really need to watch my weight, especially with how badly I’ve been eating in my classes. Baking is the worse, all sorts of decedent treats that we have to taste and critique. Yummy. I put a pan full of water on the heater the other day, and have been keeping it full. It’s help somewhat with the dryness in the office, but the metal objects around me are still shocking me far too often. I think it’s a conspiracy. I’ve been listening to my Abba CD a lot lately. My cousin, Tasha gave it to me for Christmas, and I just recently found it while I was cleaning my room. I really want to get the Mama Mia CD now as well. I blame riki_kiki_taco for my addiction. :p My eyes have been acting up a lot lately, making it difficult to wear my contacts. Just another addition to the list of things messed up by my BC. I’m definitely going to have to talk to PP about going on a different prescription or something. A lot of my friends at school are on Depo, but I’m a bit too fond of my period to seriously think about getting it. Although I do have to admit it would be convenient to no longer have to remember to take a pill at the same time every night. Well I guess I’m going to go and read some, or maybe knit until five. Only an hour and 10 min left before I can go home. Weee! Tags: family, food, friends, happyears, owies, skool, work

Just finished baking a loaf of sour dough bread Yummy! It didn’t rise enough the second time though, it’s a bit dense, must remember to keep and eye on it and keep the oven warm (I use the oven as a makeshift proofer, ‘cus the house is too chilly to let the dough rise properly) I feel so special and accomplished. I am definitely going to be doing this more often. On a side note I didn’t get nearly as much done today as I wanted too. oaksong called and I wanted to talk with him, so I didn’t get a chance to stop by the library. But I can do that tomorrow, one more day isn’t going to cost my much more than the three weeks overdue that I already have. My rooms are nice and neat now though. I love knitting, but I keep getting messy with my yarn and supplies. Also my damned schoolbooks are just there in a pile because I have no place to put them. I need another book case, but I don’t have anyplace to put it. blech. Tags: food, friends, knitting, platypus

Weee tomorrow is Saturday! :D:D Today was a long day. We had to make a dinner for over 90 people and I was on my feet running around the kitchen and cooking for 6 hours. We made venison stew, tomatoes and red pepper bisque, salad with apple cider vinaigrette, and Adirondack baklava with ice cream for desert. I gotta say I LOVED it, it’s so awesome! We got tones of compliments. Although I am very tired now. One thing I didn’t like was the fact that I was the only one doing dishes at the end of the meal and Tony had to tell people to help me. Although I didn’t mind it too much, I mean I did that kind of stuff for 3 years at the hospital, so I was used to it. Ah well. While cleaning up I started singing, and the first song that popped into my head was Billy Joel’s “Movin’ Out” one of the older men in the class looked at me and told me I was way too young to be a Billy Joel Fan, he was quite surprised when I told him I had all his CD’s and had gone to his concert when he was in Syracuse about 6-7 years ago. :) *** My mom is giving me a lot of grief about tomorrow; she’s afraid Oaksong is some kind of freak who is going to abduct me and to all sorts of terrible things to me. *sigh I keep telling her I’m a big girl and can take care of myself. And anyways were meeting at the mall… I’m in a very Moxy Fruvous (to lazy for the umlaut) mood today; I’m switching between Bargainville and Live Noise (I need more of their CD’s) here at work. I’m very tired; I could lie down on the floor and take a nap if I had a pillow… Ah well. Night, night Zzzz…. Tags: food, friends, happyears, platypus, skool

I saw the hells angel and the fallen angel today. I forget what angel Dave was. He’s all that’s missing to complete my trio. Ahh the ‘good’ old days. Ben looks good, he’s working at Alterie’s now. I was talking to him a while ago. Apparently he got divorced; she walked out on him and stole a good portion of his possessions as well as cleared out his bank account. He wasn’t happy. The fallen angel is falling slightly more. I can’t hold him up anymore. I don’t feel right playing with the dragon, especially when dragon can’t play hard enough to please kitty. Friends are good. But I hate having to give that line “lets just be friends” but it’s true. I fell so lonely lately. It’s the time of year. And I don’t have anybody to be with. I have prospects, but I don’t know if it would work, too early to tell, way to early,but one can hope. I’ve gotten burned so many times before though, I’m scared. Guess I’ll just have to wait and see what wins out. Need for companionship or fear of pain. Ok, enough of this crap. Off to surf e-bay toodlies Tags: friends, introspection, platypus, young love

Yesterday was interesting, I went to the doctors for a checkup to make sure everything was healing right. And I had a little problem, my left side seemed swollen and a bit painful so I told to doc. he looked at it, felt around and decided that I had a bunch of fluid collecting that needed to be drained. How do they drain this fluid you ask? They stick a GIANT ASSED NEEDLE into my stomach and extract it that way. :: whimper :: so I lay down on the table and he (thankfully) numbs where he will but the HUGE needle in. then he inserts the needle and the nurse squeezes my side to squish the liquid out. Owies. And I may have to go back in a week to have it done again. Then I went to my only class on Mondays, Baking! Woo! That is going to be a fun class. And one of my Dad’s old HS classmates is in my class, weird. I can’t wait; we are going on a field trip to Alterie’s Bakery next Monday. Mmmm fresh baked bread :: drool :: ANYWAYS. Today was interesting as well. I found out that my Technical Writing prof. (Mrs. Miller) also had Dave as a student back when he went to JCC so she was all friendly and nice to me! Then the person I got partnered up with for the icebreaker exercise was from Croghan and had gone to school with Dave! Small World!! The icebreaker was interesting, in one part we had to tell something interesting or unusual about ourselves. Well it was all the usual interesting stuff. But at the end of the exercise the teacher announces that the most memorable interesting and unusual thing she had heard had in fact come from Dave! You see, apparently Dave can stand on his head and gargle pudding! :D :D :p hehehehe. Ok, I should really go back to work now… Toodlies! Tags: bodywork, friends, skool

Is there such a thing as a fat anorexic? To bulimics have to puke? Or can they just binge and starve? I had a nice little pity fest last night. Stupid me stayed until midnight crying and talking about how pathetic I am. Sorry Lindsay. Can you be polyamrous and still be single? Does it matter? Can to be into BD/SM but not know anything about it (be part of the ‘scene’)? What good is being any kind of sexual if you have no way of meeting people interested in you? I’m still at work. I should be folding up the Tower Times. Btu there are over 200 of them, all 5 pages each. I’m getting a blister on the thumb I use to make the crease. I could stay here all night doing this, and get paid for it. How tedious. They used to have an ‘assembly/folding’ party when my Gram was secretary, but I actually want to get this out on time. I need to start bringing different music to work. My grandma is gone so I can finally turn my music up. I want my Queen “A Kind of Magic” CD, but cant find it. Will I go to hell if I listen to NIN in a church? (Does it even matter considering that I’m the church secretary and I’m Pagan?) I just made myself a whole pot of strong coffee. I haven’t eaten anything all day. I don’t think I can close my eyes… Bzz bzz bzz… Why do telemarketers call churches and then wonder why nobody is in on a weekday? Ok, that’s it, back to work. Nothing to see here, move along. Tags: bodywork, friends, looks, poly, random, sex, spirituality, work

Well yesterday was "Monica's birthday - observed" After a bad day at work Monica gave me some time to cool off and then I went over and looked at some neat-o old knitting books, and bags of yarn that she got a the thrift shop. Then we went to the thrift shop and MONICA ended up buying the giant trash bag o' yarn. Hehehe, but I got some for myself (still have to do a burn test on some of it) and we looked around some neat-o stuff. Then it was off to the Apollo restaurant. Yummy Greek food!! We made naughty noises over the baklava and had a nice conversation with the waitress I was nice, must go back there again. The mall was fun we went shopping and I got a new shirt at hot topic, its cool (if a bit small yet) then we wandered around for a while because the movie didn't start until 9:45 and we got there at 8:30 or so. I would just like to say Big Fish was AWESOME!!!!! We laughed we cried (way too much) it was just great. It was so nice to actually get out of the house and DO something. Especially with Monica, she rocks. After such a crappy day at work (I was to the point of kicking he desk at work) it was a GREAT ending to the day.

I stayed up way too late last night. But then again I slept in WAY too much yesterday morning, (until 2) I had meant to get up around 10-11 ish and get my shower etc and then get a hold of Monica so we could hang out and knit and watch movies. But obviously that didn't happen. I had to run around and rush to get dressed and ready to go shopping with mom, we got some 'control top' underwear to give my tummy support while the muscles reconnect and found a really pretty pair of pants that fit me well. I also grabbed some stuff for the office and a few new pairs of 'fancy' panties for myself. It's amazing how sexy a nice pair of panties can make you feel. I finally got a hold of Monica when I got home and she came over and we talked knitting and knitted during the Labyrinth, mmmm Bowie-age. ;) I finally took my shower wicked late and then ended up spending almost an hour and a half washing my hair, scrubbing and shaving. I had to do my final rinse off in ice cold water. Blech. I didn't get to bed until well after midnight and had to get up early to go to the office. It was a mess as usual, we concentrated on cleaning out the desk drawers and re organizing things and getting the bulletin printed out and run off and folded with the inserts. There is still a lot to be done before I will be satisfied with the state of that office. And a lot of it I am just not familiar enough with the official business to organize correctly, so I have to wait until somebody else can come in and help me. Also, the old secretary saw fit to take old files and just toss them in old copier paper boxes and shove them into a corner with no organizing at all. So I have to go through all those and put them in proper order and boxes so they can e taken to one of the storage rooms. So much to do, its going to be a long time before I can just go in and sort the mail, type up a few things print them off and go. But the job will be so easy once I get to that point. I cam home and laid on the bed to pet Booger for a few minutes and promptly fell asleep until mom called me about 1 ½ hrs later to find out what the dinner plans were. It was ok though, Boogs didn't mind, he had curled up right next to me and gone to sleep himself. Soo cute! Well that was my boring couple of days. Yep. Wa hoo... :p Tags: family, friends, knitting, looks, outside, work

We had our usual Christmas Eve snack tonight; I warmed up some brie and cut up apples and other cheese and mom cut up croghan bologna for everybody else and more cheeses. We sat around to kitchen table talking and eating it was fun, and dad 'taught' the kitten a new trick. He now pats you on the arm if he wants something you are eating. And if you line food up along the table edge he'll pull it down one piece by one to eat, so cute! After that we went into the living room and watched Young Frankenstein and I finished knitting a dishcloth for my Aunt Mary, I'm giving a bunch of them to her tomorrow. She's been hording all her old worn out ones since she found out my great cousin Margie can't knit them any more. I still have to finish Knitting my Grandma Homan's other slipper, but I can do that tomorrow because we won't be able to visit them until later on in the week. (We are having people over all day tomorrow, and grandma and grandpa will be spending Christmas with one of mom's other siblings.) I still have to finish knitting Lindsay's scarf and Mel's present but I have until next semester begins because Monica will have to play Santa for me too and deliver them. Earlier today I cut up all the veggies I need for the casserole/stew that I am making for tomorrow's dinner so I can eat. There were a lot of veggies and stuff in it so that was the biggest part. Cooking shouldn't take too long and grandma dug out a special pot for me to use for it so I can cook it properly. Cool! This will be my first time cooking a real meal since the surgery, it feels good. I miss cooking its so therapeutic. Well gotta go wrap my aunt's dishcloths. Night, night all! :) Tags: bodywork, family, food, friends, holidays, knitting

After panicking about school and the surgery, I decided to start panicking about my Yule presents too. So here's a list: People I already have stuff for: Rachel, Dave, Monica (given early), Lindsay (1/2 done), Eric, Matt, Brandon, Mom. People I want to make stuff for: Mel, Lindsay (1/2 not done), Mom, Dad, Grandma & Grandpa Homan, Grandma Lambert, Tasha (can't decide), Alex, bunches of kitties. People I want to buy something for: Julia, Tasha (can't decide). Yep. And I think I've forgotten a bunch of people too, but his is off the top of my head, so don't feel offended if I did. That and some people I just don't know well enough to get you anything (nor can I afford much anyways) At least I'll have plenty of time to finish making stuff after my surgery. Just don't expect your Yule present till next semester, 'cus there's no way I'd be able to get it to you before hand. lalalalalalalaaaaaaaaa {edit} woops, forgot i already had somethign for mom, hehe, tryign to make things more dificult for myself ;) {/edit} Tags: family, friends, holidays, knitting

La la la. Not much going on. How boring Just sitting here knitting away. Must remember to take pictured of Monica's kitty hat before she comes back to steal it away. Finished Lindsay's hat while at the hospital with dad, now working on the scarf. It's looking cool, will have to take pics of them as well for the knitting comm. hey Linds... fringe or no fringe? Who wants catnip kitty toys? Hand made. Really. Give me $1.50 and I'll make you one. They are super cute. (I wouldn't ask so much, but catnip is expensive now adays.) gotta make grandma's slippers but I want to finish some of my already in progress stuff first so I don't have so many projects lying around. Although a few different projects at a time are good to keep up the diversity, so my hands don't get bored. I'm halfway through my first arm warmer. They are going to be neat-o. And I wanna make myself a hat. And I have a few other gift thingies I wanna do too. Weee! Ok, back to the knitting. Tags: family, friends, knitting

Wow, I'm slow about getting around to type stuff up for LJ. Well last night after spending the day in Oswego (thank you for the presents Rachel!) Dave and I headed home. It was rather uneventful until right outside of Pulaski. You see just as we were slowing down for the speed zone a young deer ran out in front of us. *SMASH* We ran right into it, it went flying then tried to get up but we hadn't finished decelerating yet so it went rolling into the hood and bumped the windshield before rolling of, getting to its feet (holding its back right leg up, with a large gash in it) and running into a nearby field. Dave pulled the car over and we sat there for a second catching out breath and trying to get our hearts out of our throats. I got out my cell and called my parents while Dave got out to inspect the damage, then he got back in to call his parents. All that was broken was the left hand headlight cover. That's it, no dent, no scratch, nothing. Dave handled himself beautifully. He stayed calm took charge and did everything right. I was really impressed. He didn't swerve which would have either put us in the oncoming lane right under the crest of a hill, meaning oncoming traffic wouldn't see us till it's too late, or we would have gone into a HUGE tree. And also would have caused more damage to the car because we wouldn't have hit the deer head on, which would have resulted in crumpled corners and a dead deer. And he didn't swear or cry or shout or carry on, he kept calm and cool. We got home and Dave checked the car out one more time then came in and relaxed a little bit and got hits wits together before heading home. Wow. Tags: critters, family, friends, outside, stress

I finished Dave's hat tonight. I feel so proud. It's a bit smaller than I hoped because I ran out of yarn, but it should cover his ears and be all cozy. I'm starting on Monica's now, She wants a cozy hat w/ a fold up brim and kitty ears. So I'm making up my own pattern. Here it is for my records. ( Monica's kitty hat )I may change the ear process once I finish the main hat part. We'll see in a few days. I'm not even sure if the hat will turn out ok, but it looks good to me. :) This is so exciting, my first pattern. :D I'll definitely be taking pictures if this turns out well... maybe w/ Monica modeling it. :) Tags: friends, knitting

Mmmmm Naps = good Well off to work on the hat I'm knitting Dave for Yule. (he knows I'm knitting it for him, just not what it's going to look like when I'm done :: evil laughter :: ) its coming along relatively well. I can't wait for the needles I ordered to arrive so I can play with them! A 16" #8 circular needle, w/ #8 double pointed needles. And a 16" # 10 1/2 circular needle, w/ #10 1/2 double pointed needles. That means I can make hats and slippers, and all sorts of fun things! I really want to get started on grandma's slippers. Well off to eat! Food = good (I'm such a cat, sleep, eat, sleep, eat, play with yarn, sleep, eat.) Tags: friends, holidays, knitting

Watched the eclipse tonight. It was cool While watching and talking about it with a friend the fact that since the earth is mother earth and the moon is the goddess and the sun in the god, that an eclipse was a sort of pagan celestial threesome. (two girls and a guy moving around all close like) and right when that was said we saw a meteor which appeared to be plunging straight for the moon. Yep, pagan celestial porn. Ok, I'll pull my mind out of the gutter now. So anyways, tonight I was knitting while sitting in Denny's... (not as good as wearing faerie wings or cat ears, but I'm getting there Monica :) I was thinking about a neat concept for a shadow run character. A male troll. Picture a large ugly troll wearing a lopsided and holey sweater, knitted knickers with one leg too short, horn warmers with pom poms on the ends, and he's standing there knitting something with bright pink yarn. When asked what he's knitting the reply is "gun cozy." Gods forbid you cause him to miss a stitch, those knitting needles are lethal. Oh and when he's finished with the gun cozy he's going to give it to the most angst-y and darkly clad member of the group. (Remember its bright pink, and... well, a knitted gun cozy... I mean come on!) and if they don't use it he will get very, very upset... :: evil laughter :: Tags: friends, glamour, knitting, outside, rp, sex

Whoo boy was this weekend fun! I had a good time in school before I left; I wore my ears paws and tail with my cooking uniform (black pants so it still matched) and got quite a few positive responses. Then I rushed home and packed and got ready to go to Oswego. I left a little late and ended up forgetting the sleeping bad, but it was ok 'cus Monica was able to get an air mattress. Once I got there we hung out for a little bit and then headed over to dinner. Which was cool, I'm soo glad lakeside carried moosewood soups, it was way yummy. Then we went back to the room for a bit then headed out for the MTTB around 9 ish. MTTB: AWESOME! It was a lot of fun, a lot of people had some really neat-o costumes, last year there weren't any cats so that's what I went as this year, but of course like 5 million other girls did too. Blah. But it was still fun! Lindsay and Brandon and I danced some, and then they went off to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, but I wanted to stay and dance. So I danced. A lot. There was a lot of really great music (they played a lot of DDR stuff too, but that just made it easier to dance to ;). And dancing w Addison, Sean, and Chris was totally awesome. Those guys are really great to interact w/ on the floor, so much fun and energy. I loved mikes costume (yay Spider Jerusalem) and Sean was tres creative (if not very, very hot) The costume contest was very amusing, I really liked Justin's costume, and Scot Staab is the master of makeup and costuming, I loved it. Bree and her Bf (I'm sorry, I forgot his name) made an awesome pair as the goddess and horned god. Hmm... if I keep listing off cool costumes this is going to go on for miles. :D So I'll stop here and say there were a TON of great costumes, and mucho, mucho good music and I danced way too much, (so much I had trouble walking home, and walking the next day for that matter, I'm still sore.) and it was wicked fun and I can't wait until next year to do it all over again! If anybody wants to see pictures (I took a bunch, and so did other people) wander over to the STG yahoo group and take a peak. Tags: extrovert, friends, holidays, outside, sillyweird

There is a domestic dispute going on in the house that shares fence between our lawns. I can hear the woman screaming. I feel sorry for whoever she's yelling at. In other news, my car threw a belt today. When dad installed my new alternator he didn't tighten the belt enough and it escaped today on my way to school. I didn't know anything as wrong until the battery light came on. Boy that scared the crap out of me, especially considering I was on my way to school, and still had to drive home. But luckily nothing bad happened. Dad and I have to go out tomorrow and get a new belt and put it on before class, so I can drive. I'm glad we can fix it so easily because I was really gonna be pissed if I couldn't go to Oswego this weekend. I can't miss the MTTB. Aaannnnnd, I finally mastered ribbing when I knit, and am working on a scarf. It looks all pretty. After that I'm going to make a nice shawl. I have like, 4 skeins of this really pretty blue and white yarn that somebody gave me that would be perfect for it, and I bought myself some 10 gauge knitting needles the other day, so I'm all set. The pattern I have is wicked easy too even I can do it :) Weee! Tags: family, friends, knitting

KW arrived and we had a nice dinner with Aunt Mary and Tasha and Uncle Terry. Although Tara, Howie, the baby and Uncle Doug showed up while we were trying to fix dinner and made no signs of leaving, we had a moment of panic, thinking that they were going to stay, but they finally left, just in time to eat. My second try at the cake came out much better, and the frosting was awesome, everybody really liked it, it was SUPER rich. Yummy. :) Then Dave came over and we went out to watch Scary Movie 3. It was an ok movie, but not all that great, kind of stupid, but what do you expect form a spoof like that? Oh Monica, Leslie Neilson was in it, he played his part beautifully for how it was written, but they could have written him a MUCH better part for his talent. But one thing I definitely liked is they wrote in a line from Airplane. It was totally funny. Well I'm pretty tired, mom woke me up early this morning while she was cleaning upstairs (which she could have waited until I was up to do, but I've given up trying to tell her that, she does this EVERY weekend) and then Dave called me to invite me to the movies. So I should head to bead, because I want to be sure I've kicked that stomach bug so I can be all better for classes Monday. Monday night we start our projects for Marketing, I'm so excited!! (The tri county area had invested a bunch of money into branding a whole slew of upstate NY products such at milk, honey, baked goods, candles, and other such stuff under their new "North Country" brand. All they have right now is the logo; our class has been assigned the task of actually coming up with a marketing plan for them. It's sooo cool!) night, night all!

Well a couple people have been talking to me and mentioned some things about what they read in my journal, and their concerns about 'my reputation'. Now a while ago I posted a very important statement about my journal, and I think they might have missed it. So I forgive them. ;) So I'm going to post it again. And also put it in my info. And the post is in my memories too. so here is that post I'm rambling on about Also, to a special friend (you know who you are darling.) there is nothing wrong with the female body, it is a beautiful thing and far, FAR from disgusting. And there is nothing wrong with learning about your self (or your girlfriend if you are a guy.) I post about my realizations because I think it is important for other women to feel comfortable about themselves, and seeing how comfortable I am helps, and also some women would never even know these things if it weren't for my posting about them. And if guys happen to read it too, even better! Would you want to have sex with a guy that doesn't even know his way around your most intimate anatomy? How much does a man really love you if he gets grossed out, or made uncomfortable by it? Ok that's enough of me on my soap box. And like I said in that post above, if anybody really doesn't like reading about something in my journal, its not that hard to just scroll by it, most of the 'bad stuff' is relatively short anyways, and if I post about something that isn't work safe, or really long I put it behind a cut.

Snarf and his family took me apple picking today at Behlings orchard. It was way fun, and I got tons of apples to make apple crisps, and muffins and pies, and I even got some apples to make candies apples with! I am going to baking for weeks! Yay! Afterwards Snarf and I went to Syracuse and got lunch at the mall and then he went and wandered around Games workshop while I chilled in the Borders Café. Then we went to altered states and I got Cute Fuzzy Seizure Monsters for BESM! Yay! After all that I had to take Snarf home, so I finally got to meet his brother (who is quite cute, but also quite antisocial) and the cute little kitties, and the spoiled puppy doggie! (Who likes to play with stuffed animals!) After I was rested a little (the driving really tired me out today) I headed home, where mom was throwing a little dinner party for my aunt, uncle, Tasha, and Margie. I didn't eat much, because there wasn't much for me to eat, but we did have my pumpkin cheesecake, and everybody LOVED it! Yay! I even sent a big chunk of it home with Margie so she could have more. :):) and now I'm here, just chilling and relaxing. Whew, :D Tags: family, food, friends, rp
