So Anna's having a Christmas baby.
Seriousy. She just went to the hospital.
So here I am at home alone with stockings to finish, presents to wrap, and cookies to bake, and I really can't focus on a single thing.

You are interchangeable. Fun, free, and into everything, you've got every eventuality covered and every opportunity just has to be taken. Every fiber is wonderful, and every day is a new beginning. You are good at so many things, it's amazing, but you can easily lose your place and forget to show up. They have row counters for people like you!
What kind of knitting needles are you?
God I'm a nerd. I just knitted for 4 hours straight. No teevee, no music, just sitting and knitting. I'm learning intarsia, and realizing I suck at it. I'm to go mend something and go to bed. This whole waking up at 7.30 am every morning thing is killing me.

So, in the midst of what could quite possibly be one of the most stressful and busy weeks ever, I procrastinate just long nough to make a post about nothing. How smart is that? Not very at all, you say? That would be correct.
So even though having to do 40 drawings in two weeks has made me want to not touch a sketchbook for a good few months, I've noticed that I've gotten quite a bit better. It pains me every time I hear someone say that they got done with finals and are out of school, all the time counting down the 3, (garunteed,) miserable weeks until my freedom.
My sweater has a 3.5" rip in the sleeve that I have no idea when I will mend.
I have to go work on a presentation for tomorrow.
And do another sketch.

If school would hurry up and go away, I think my life just might be perfect.
I might be getting my tonsils out in june. that makes me happy.
I got a GBA SP from Jordan and I've decided I love it and want to keep in in my pocket all the time. Well, if I had pockts most of the time, or wasn't deathly afraid of breaking or losing it. I shouldn't want to name electronics.
I want to play cello so bad right now. But sleep sounds like a much better plan for it being close to 2 am.
Goodnight world.

1: Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"at the time of the Kapp putsch in 1920, a general strike.."
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich - William L Shirer
2: Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?:
A Carfax report my father printed out.
3: What is the last thing you watched on TV?:
Family Guy.
4: WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is:
12.40
5: Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?:
12.32
6: With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?:
I can hear planes flying overhead off and on. Everything is silent otherwise.
7: When did you last step outside? what were you doing?:
About and hour and a half ago I was outside coming home from Jordan's house.
8: Before you came to this website, what did you look at?:
Either my inbox or comics; it's all the same.
9: What are you wearing?:
A camisole and sweater, my one pair of jeans, and I'm still wearing my chucks.
10: Did you dream last night?
Yes. I want to say was farming something, though I'm fairly sure that wasn't it at all. The world will never know.
11: When did you last laugh?
A couple of hours ago, either at Mr Jordan or the teevee.
12: What is on the walls of the room you are in?:
All of my father's little bits. A car calendar, some fishing bumper stickers, a couple of invoices tacked to the wall, and quite an array of cords and wiring.
13: Seen anything weird lately?:
For a moment this morning I thought I saw the Virgin Mary in my contact solution. Come to think of it, I wouldn't doubt it was my own reflection.
14: What do you think of this quiz?:
I don't feel particularly inclined to think anything about it.
15: What is the last film you saw?:
hrm..I think it was Attack of the Clones, though I may have seen an anime more recently. Ah. Escaflowne.
16: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?:
A new sewing machine or a house. Either way they would both happen.
17: Tell me something about you that I don't know:
What do you know?
18: If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?:
I'd like to see war as we know it not exist. I figure it's one of the few 'traditions' that's been around for centuries, and in concept is still the same. That can't be a good sign that after thousands of years we can't find better solutions than killing common people who aren't the major voices of governments anyway.
19: Do you like to dance?:
More than I should like to admit.
20: George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?:
Yecht. I try not to think of him too terribly much.
21: Imagine your first/second child is a girl, what do you call her?:
I wouldn't.
21: Imagine your first/second child is a boy, what do you call him?:
Wouldn't happen. If I'm feeling particularly maternal, I might get a puppy. Have kids? No way.
22: Would you ever consider living abroad?:
I'd love to go abroad, but I can't say whether I'd want to live there until I have some kind of idea what it would be like.
23: Will you pass on this survey?:
so sorry.

Although there's been an awful lot of listening to music going on in my world right now, I haven't really been home enough to play any at all. Today I went thrift shopping since I knew it'd be the last time I bought anything small for a long time. All my money now is going to be going towards saving for a better sewing machine, (or so I keep telling myself.) I ended buying some damn cute things. Monday was really damn fun. I ended up not have my Psych class and I didn't have Photography that day, so I went to Mr. Jordan's and ended up going sledding. I didn't go back to school for Drawing.
It's February, and my winter coat still hasn't been sewn. I don't even have the wool. On the other hand, I've played more with Legos in the past month than I have in the past 10 years. That's a good thing.
I'm really damn antsy to go on a road trip.

The Dead Poetic show was so damn good. That entire night was so damn good. Minus the little drunk girl-kissing chicky spewing on some guy. After that everything was just swell.
Last night I couldn't sleep, so I researched pandas.
I'm thinking about taking bellydance classes.
School starts up this week, and it doesn't seem like an awful thing at all.
I can't wait for spring

I wore so much damn pink today. Then I played with the camera a lot, which was somewhat annoying since everyone had changed all the settings and I was too lazy to put everything back.
( PINK )
( Re-glittered )
( George+Dead flowers )
So, usually when I know I'm going to have time to myself I think I'm going to get to relax or sleep or something, but no, tonight I feel insanely driven to make myself actually do things.
A couple of nights ago I went through a bunch of my fabric and made swatches for the portfolio work and design files I'm hoping to get together sometime soon.
My head hurts something wretched.

I never thought I would like underoath. or modest mouse. or a lot of things that I do right now for that matter. X-mess was about on par for what it is. It was good when it was really close family, then sucked when it was family with small children and people who ask too many questions, then got a lot better when it wasn't my family at all. I said panda more that day than I should care to admit.
The days are beginning to blur into a big mess of feeling mighty happy with how everything in my world is.

My parents still fill my stocking.
So, life has been so great lately. Other than being stressed about finishing presents on time, I don't think it could get much better. I dyed my hair kinda pink and purple and cut some more off of it.
I'm learning to crochet correctly now.
I have a camera for school next semester (which is rather thrilling)
I've been spending most every day with mr Jordan, which I adore.
My father finally gave me a grounded outlet in my room so I can use my laptop in there. (wee)
Finally started talking to DJ again, who I missed more than I knew. We played cups on my floor until my stomach hurt sooo fucking bad from laughing so much.
Finally saw Jeff and Chris B again, which was quite pleasant as well.
I'm so happy about the holidays this year.
Life is good.

So, today started with Melissa barging in my room declaring it too late to be asleep and asking what i wanted for x-mess. About 30 minutes later we were going out to eat with the parents at a new chinese place. $20 later we went out in search of Knit-Wit, (a knitting/ crochet/yarn place.) An hour later we made it there, and $17 later we left. More running around was done, and more money spent by her. We actually talked, and the whole of today was not entirely awful. This was a big obstacle for me really, as for the past few years I've really loathed having to be around the two eldest sisters.
I've come to realize that, although they truely can be cruel and exasperating at times, they take insults as well as they give them, and that means something.
