PIE.

That is all.

I'm buying a camera today! I'm so excited!

For Steph

Summer has been...well summer so far. The only difference between what I was doing last summer and this is that I'm not taking classes and working more. Which isn't a bad thing. The only down side is checking all the subject guides again, and again, and again. I'm leading right now with 18-ish. But it's something to do so that I can distract myself from reading anything that has to do with hockey at the moment. Fucking Penguins.

This past weekend was a lot of fun. Kendra had her batchlorette party. It was a lot of fun. There were about 7 (which I'm exacted now that I'll know more people at the wedding!) of us, and we went out for a nice dinner, and played some drinking games, and then hit the bar. We weren't there for very long, as Kendra was on the verge of passing out an hour into the bar. Which was alright, I came home and decided that not sleeping was a good idea.

I got the funniest typed IM this morning. Okay, it wasn't really funny, more 'grate on my nerves' kind of question, but then you can later make fun of, type of funny. And I quote "I fogot my not boock 3rd floor have you find for me." No shit.

Can today get any better?

I'm so freaking happy right now. I'm DONE with finals, and I've got a whole day to myself. I've already got my laundry done, went to 7-11 to get pop, and picked up Maggies on the way home. It's so gorgeous out side and we're taking Andy out tonight for one last hurrah before he heads back to Maryland after graduation on Saturday. Now I'm enjoying my breakfast and watching some of season two of Supernatural, which I picked up the other day for less than $20. XD Life is so good right now.

I'm pretty sure I'm making up words again....

Guess who won her fantasy hockey league this year? That's right. Me!

When I grow up I should work in a yarn shop.....

So, after two months of trying to get the reconstructive surgery that my mom had to work, she's getting it removed today. It just wouldn't stay closed, and apparently there's not enough skin to keep it closed. Sometimes I think it was a good thing that dad got laid off, that way he's been able to stay home and take care of mom. But at the same time, she's the only one working right now, and she's had to take a lot of time off for this. I just feel so bad that she's had to go through all of this, and it didn't work out. It was really heartbreaking to her her on the phone last night. I just wish there was something else I could do.

I'm in a bit of a grumbly mood today.

Now that Rick Nash is no longer spiting my fantasy hockey team, I'm back to loving them.

thelastsuper_hero@yahoo.com — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 20:14:21 GMT

Resolution for the week: decide if graduating now and then going to grad school next year would be better than going the same amount of time just to finish off my undergrad. I could live with being a professor.

....

my head hurts.

thelastsuper_hero@yahoo.com — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 14:09:52 GMT

I need to stop writing horribly sarcastic papers. It's going to get me in trouble one of these days.

thelastsuper_hero@yahoo.com — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:42:12 GMT

For some reason I'm having trouble getting into The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe....but I can't quite put my finger on why....

thelastsuper_hero@yahoo.com — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:12:56 GMT

Mornings like today just make me want to stay in bed cuddled up with a blanket with hot chocolate and a book.... but alas, I'm at work.

Okay so I just found this and I'm really excited about it. Even though I hated French when I was taking it, I think it had to do more with the learning environment, because when I was in 1000, I loved it. So maybe I can learn a new skill on my own time, and that would be very exciting. Plus, they've got this simple phrases in 36 languages, and I just think it'd be cool to learn how to say anything in like say, Icelandic. Haha.

thelastsuper_hero@yahoo.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:31:44 GMT

I have a confession to make. I think Rick Nash is a hottie. That is all.

Hooray for exercising my right to vote!

(and hooray for Stitch and Bitch arriving!)

I know it's only October but...

I know what I want for Christmas (And this is more or less so I remember so when I get asked "What do you want for Christmas I can be "This!" and then try not to get offended by the "you are so incredibly dorky" stares that I'm bound to get).

This in Cranberry or Hollyberry or Winters Night maybe 2-3 balls so I can make something fun and warm with it, like a fun scarf set for someone.

This in I'm thinking 2 balls in Caution and one in Black so I can make a fun long WMU Scarf.

This. Though this is a bit more expensive I wouldn't ask for this, this would be something I'd splurge on. But seriously, how amazing would this be?

And finally This. I'd make a hat out of this in a heart beat.

Oh, I also wouldn't mind buying some of their Bare S
uperwash Merino yarn and then dying it myself with kool-aide as they suggest. That would be AMAZING!

Edit:OMG OMG OMG. The new librarian just said that her mother, who no longer knits, has a ton of yarn just lying around and she said she's going to give it to me. Not buy like I offered, but GIVE. Holy crap.

This whole waking up early thing is actually leading to some very productive mornings. I like it.

c) Tell you something I like about you.

d) Tell you a memory I have of you.

e) Ask you something I've wanted to know about you

Now that it's fall I don't feel so weird knitting all the time. Matter of fact, fall might be my new favorite season to do so.

I'm lame, I'm working on a set of washcloths for my grandma for when she goes down to Texas, and maybe a nice hand towel, though that's only if I've got some left over. I might anyway, the yarn was only $1.50 at Wally World.

And since deux got her present this weekend, I can post my two kind of new finished projects!

This is a broken ribbed scarf I made for my mom, I love it. It's so soft.

This is Al version 1.0 (he's living with Steph now). 2.0-5.0 are coming soon. I'm going to start 2.0 this weekend. I'm going to hopefully finish them before hockey season...hopefully.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the fact that I've decided to make everyone Christmas presents this year, I keep adding things to my list, and being okay with it. But lately I've discovered that my textbooks actually lie flat and I can knit while I read, which actually more productive that I had originally thought. So basically, go me.

I've also noticed that since I've started doing this, my stress level has gone down like woah, and I'm more relaxed and just enjoying the day.

I don't know, I thought it was pretty cool. XD

I just want to say for the record that watching The Verve Pipe play at Broncobash last night was about one of the most amazing experiences ever.

Beating Homer.

Even though I have a hard time focusing on politics and such (even after PolySci, matter of fact it might have deterred me a little more),every time I go down to Ohio I think I get a little more conservative....

Anyway, I did a lot of knitting this weekend, and almost finished Steph's present, the goal being to send it out today, but Sammi forgot the buttons....crap. So, I'll have to pick some up today and send it out on Thursday when I'm on campus all day. Bother.

I got the syllabus for my Western World Lit. class this morning, and good news! I've read 10 out of the fifteen books, so that'll make life way easier this term. Yay! The down side, for the 1,000,000 time we're doing the The Oddessy. I swear, as a teacher, here and now, if I can avoid it, I will. At least for a while. Because it is a valuable text, and a pretty good story to tell the truth. I enjoyed it the first five times I read it, but now I just kind of feel it's beaten to death at this point. But that's just me.

OOO! I get to take a class in Brown now that they've finally gotten it finished. Just in time for me to stop taking English classes.

A lot of people are bumming about summer ending, but I kind of feel like I really didn't have a summer, so classes starting up again isn't that big of deal at the moment. Stress level is still the same, and the I've got just as much work to do, but it's spread over four classes rather than two.

Now it's time to go see if they've got my paycheck yet...

It doesn't take much to amuse me...

For whatever reason that possessed me at the time, I believe I'm now going to take part in Hat Attack!. It's not until September, so I think I'll print out the pattern from last year and give my hat skills a brush up.

A list of sorts
