creative spurt

I finally finished the painting I've been working on for a while. Actually, I still have to paint the edges, but the actual work is done.


After that, I did a journal entry with more Wilco lyrics and a cut-out from a children's encyclopedia I bought yesterday.


Also, the gerbils look reeeeally cute when they snuggle on top of each other like this:



Other than that, I am doing really good I think. Michael and I are thinking about getting a puppy. I was spontaneous but also responsible tonight, and I am not sad about being home alone.

Things I need to start doing soon:
1. Journalling more. I need to get old magazines and books to cut up for this.
2. Wear my skinny jeans over and over.
3. Start listening to, and buying, more music from the 40's-50's.
4. Get my hair cut. First, pick how I want it to look. And get it straightened.

the times they are a changin'

I'm having a rough night. Scarlett came back, and I got to see her and it was lovely, and my outfit and everything looked very cute, I think. And then it started to hit me how everyone but me has this special someone in the group, like Kim and J Bugg, and Scarlett and Dana. I tried to console myself by saying Michael was my special someone in the group, but then he left to take Matt home without even saying goodbye to me. I felt so small and unimportant. He just walked off, and I didn't want to cry there so I went home.

And now I'm just sad.

At least I didn't cry.

Progress Indeed

I have caught myself up to where I was on Picovoli, pre-ripping, and I wanted to take a picture of it on to show how things are going. I give you, Picovoli:


What? The image looks like...nothing? Yeah, I think my camera is officially on its last legs. I might put my bonus towards a new digital camera...
I used the tried-and-true Basil Fawlty "Smack on Head" technique to get it working and came out with this picture:

(Ignore the white strings you can see; those will be where the sleeves are added later, and where I will continue knitting at the bottom.)

Also, just for laughs, I caught Emo mid-yawn on my cell phone.

Hahahahahhaa. I can't stop laughing at this, or thinking of things he could be yelling in a funny voice.

blah

My Picovoli shaping was coming out crooked, and sure enough, I miscounted when I placed my markers. I could have kept going, but I don't want this thing to look terrible, so I ripped back...two inches. Blahhhhhhh. Everything is back on the needles though, and I can get back to where I was on the drive to Houston, as Michael will be driving. Mmm baseball.
