Only when I'm
needing some

this is scary people

So I have **NOTHING** on my needles...

this isnt by choice, I have **NO** yarn...

that's right i said it. I have **NOTHING**.

This is what happens when your x roomie steals a few hundred from you and takes all your stuff...

**EYE....TWITCHING....**

Closing of the year...

I LOVED this songe when i first heard it YEARS ago in "Toys"

I knit so people don't die

So i restarted my Mystery Stole last week, and I'm prooud to say I just ended clue 4 and I'm about to add the wing to it. WOOHOO it will be done in MORE than enough time to give to linda for the holidays!

In later news I'm still broke, with no apartment. I just found out that the place wher eI was hiding my clothes that I DID get back from Damien was ransacked and gone * this includes ALL the knitting books/mags/ect I have and my mini stash* so yea...I have 2 pairs of jeans and like 4 shirts...

But things HAVE to start lookin gup right?


OH did I mention that one of the stoles I was making/finished for my friends wedding was stolen?

Tis the V of November

Remember, remember, the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot. I see no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent to blow up the King and the Parliament. Three score barrels of powder below, Poor old England to overthrow: By God's providence he was catch'd With a dark lantern and burning match. Holloa boys, holloa boys, make the bells ring. Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! Hip hip hoorah! A penny loaf to feed the Pope. A farthing o' cheese to choke him. A pint of beer to rinse it down. A faggot of sticks to burn him. Burn him in a tub of tar. Burn him like a blazing star. Burn his body from his head. Then we'll say ol' Pope is dead. Hip hip hoorah! Hip hip hoorah!

head over heals

So guys im here...there is a good reason WHY i havnt been here.

*takes a deep breathe*

4 months ago my lease was up in my studio. I was going to resign when some friends that I know asked if Iw anted to move into their 3 bedroom duplex...rent would be a grand total of $300 AND that included all my utilities. And since I was payinf 432 NOW I said HELL YEA....

SO I moved in and started to get comfortable. set things up how I wanted it and two months later I wake up to find a for rent sign in my front lawn. When asking the roomies what was going on they didnt answer me. So I called the landlord to find out something VERY surprising...I was paying my rent straight to her but i guess I was the only one in the house that was doing that. The other two thought it would me a beter idea to spend their money on meth....

Well the landlord knew I was paying rent so she was going to ofer that I stay in the place while I look for new roomies. And I said sure why not, that's fair. So then I came home one day to find that the washer, dryer, fridge, and stove were gone. Again no one told me that they DIDNT belong to the apt but a rommie brought them in. And since I wasnt in the mood to buy 4 new ones I decied it would be beter if I moved.

Now I have to find a new place after just moving into that place...but since school ust started everything was full or way too much for me to think about.

Then steps in another friend who offers me his place to stay until I can find a few place...WOOHOOO

I start looking for a place and around 3 weeks goes by and I'm pissed off as fuck because I'm tired as fuck being there, I'm ready to have my own place. Then I found it! a cute apt all my own, I just have to wait for the current renter to move out. That day I get asked when I thought i was going to be moving out... 3 days I reply! And we both did the happy dance, becasue we are queer like that.

Then he gets home from work and decieds he wanted to go to the bar. I wasnt up to it so i stayed in and Aryk came over....*more on him later*...and we watched a movie and he left. Around 3am friend comes home from the bar....VERY drunk. And wants to take De Vil for a walk.

He left the apt at 3:10 at 3:15 he comes up stairs WITHOUT MY DOG. When asked where my dog was he starts to fight with me telling me he is downstairs out back tied up. So I have to run to get him only to come back up stairs to him throwing my stuff into the hallway and when he sees me he runs back into his place and locks me out and hides like the likke faggot that he is.


So now half of my stuff is in the hallway and the other half is in his apt that I still havnt gotten back from him and its been 2 weeks. AND to add insult to injury I still dont have my place the renter hasnt moved out yet so im forced to bounce off peoples sofas...AND I had to put my doggie in the pet hotel so im -168 in my bank account becasue of that....

So yea...thats why I havnt blogged lately....

Happy Fucking Halloween!

Happy Rosh Hashanah

Break out the apples and the honey...you know that means....

No its not for you straight guys to roll around in for lesbians....

And no we aren't going to eat the apples out of anyplace on godly....

It's Rosh Hashanan!

Happy New Years everyone!

I did go to the movies last night, a friend of mine wanted to take me out since I was having kinda hard time at home with the roomies...Nothing like a night out at P.F Changs and a movie...

I seen the new Halloween. It wasn't bad, it was a lot more graphic the the original, then I seen it was writting and directed by Rob Zombie...that explained it all lol

Screw Netflix

The reason I mention this is the have a new version of this ad...





What a difference a little change makes huh... I love it and can i say its about fucking time to see that on tv!

And so it begins...

I went to the ALC page only to find this message...

We are preparing our systems for AIDS/LifeCycle 7 (2008) participants to fundraise online and create personal homepages.

Lets start riding...

Just keep knitting

After working on it off and on for 3 days I have clue one down in the books!




I'm going to crack open my Harry Potter and read some of that for a bit before I start Clue 2.

Yea I know I"m still reading my HP, but I figured I wanted to enjoy the book instead of hurrying to get it done...So far its REALLY good and I'm half way thru. I should be done with it in a few days...

Between knitting and reading and not to mention my hiking trip tomorrow I think This is going to be a VERY enjoyable weekend.

Did I mention that I found and moved into a new house...


WOOHOO go me lol

yarny goodness

So my Vineyard Heather came in finally so I can start my Mystery Stole...

I had some worries about the color, but then when I casted on I have decided that I love it...


I casted on and I made it thru to the first chart, I'm hoping to make it thru the next two charts today....

Just keep knitting right....

Shawl 1 down!

So I a making some shawls for a friends wedding in Dec. I started this shawl before the ride and after ALOT of frogging due to someone mis-placed ink pin...yea i know right...I lost all that work and had to start it over again, but I think its worth it...




Its just a simple vine lace pattern but i think in the cream its going to look GREAT with the brides maids dresses...

...a quick close up...



I'm a big believer that simple lace always looks elegant for any occasion.

Time to look for a new stitch and to cast on for shawl two.

New Potter

So I went to Borders to pick up my copy of Harry Potter to find out the friend I was going with was a diffrent color than i was. So my color and teacher was called and I got to the front of the line to go grab my book. This woman was standing next to me and asked if I was there alone, and I said no my friend is here but he is in back. So we started talking and she was like I'll make you a deal, I couldn't even GET a braclet to go in, if you take me in with you I will buy myself a book and you one for taking me. I was like what? and she repeated herself..I thought it thru either way I was going to get a book, if she cant get in then im buying it or she will be able to get in with me and she buys it... So I say what the hell...

Needless to say after getting her in and having a nice talk with her while we waited in line for the books she turned to me and said here...and bought me a new book mark to go with the BRAND NEW HARRY POTTER BOOK she bought me...

whats beter than a Brand New Harry Potter book? A free one! lol

She was really nice I told her she didn't have to buy me the book and she said that she had a great time talking to me about the book while we waited those 25 min in line that she would be happy to buy my copy.

Not to mention I was working on a sock during the party at Borders, I casted on there and its coming along nicely lol.

Then to add to it I got home to check my mail and I found orders from my ETSY store...

Yea a free book and money to boot.

I think that makes for a really good night.

Well folks back to my reading...LATA!

Facts

Fact Sheet AIDS/LifeCycle ...

Triumphant cyclist at the 'Halfway to L.A.' point on Day 4.... will take place June 3-9, 2007, as cyclists and volunteers will travel 545 miles through beautiful California from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

... is the official cycling event of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center.

... is about HIV/AIDS and raising money to help the beneficiaries continue to provide the critical services and education needed to meet the growing needs of our community.

... increases awareness and knowledge about HIV/AIDS among participants, their donors and the general public.

... addresses the widespread misperception that HIV and AIDS are no longer a problem -- in fact more people are living with HIV & AIDS today than ever before, which means a much greater need for services.

One of many fields along the route.... provides a reminder that the rate of HIV infection is increasing, particularly in communities of color and in individuals under the age of 25. In California alone there are 60,000 people living with AIDS, and another estimated 91,000 living with HIV, many unaware of their infection.

... requires each cyclist to raise a minimum of $2,500. Each cyclist is assigned to a personal "Cycle Buddy" for assistance with training, fundraising, and emotional & practical support from the moment they register through the event's completion.

Why We're Doing This Event

'In memory of' banner alongside the route.AIDS is not over. In California alone there are 60,000 people living with AIDS, and another estimated 91,000 living with HIV. Nationally, 70 percent of all new infections occur in communities of color and people under the age of 25 are increasingly affected.

The costs associated with medical care and treatment for a person with HIV is about $20,000 per year. Access to life-saving drugs, clinical trials and state-of-the-art treatment helps those with the disease a longer and better quality of life. AIDS/LifeCycle will help those living with HIV/AIDS gain greater independence and get the treatment and care they need. Cyclist wearing a bandanna that says 'For Brad.'Prevention services geared towards high-risk populations will ensure that future generations will not experience the same level of loss that we have faced in the last two decades.

As the number of people living with HIV increases, so does the need for the services provided by the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, the two agencies producing this event.

AIDS/LifeCycle is the only AIDS fundraising bicycle event in California organized by the non-profit agencies that will benefit from the money raised by its participants. Our sole concern is providing critical services to people living with HIV and AIDS. Your support and commitment to this event is pivotal to our success. Your participation and the monies you raise will allow us to provide these critical services.

Let me dust off my dance shoes

Dance While the Sky Crashes Down

The flowers by your bed are wilting.
The sun is setting in the west.
A fog is covering your eyes,
Your stockings are attracting flies,
Decay is nibbling at the boards on which you rest.

There's someone waiting at your window,
Familiar face without a name.
One night he'll creep in like the mist,
To touch your forehead with a kiss,
And lead you back into the void from whence you came.

We've all begun to die, and don't know what to do.
Since it hurts to pray to God, when God is dying too.
Takes strength to laugh, when you start to drown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Like that the earth begins to quiver,
And all the oceans turn to black.
A ship of maniacs with knives,
Are playing Blackjack with their lives,
To kill the time until the giant rats attack.

It's raining leprosy and acid.
The saints were taken out and shot.
When someone proffers you a pear,
You sink your teeth in unaware,
That just beneath the skin lies pestilence and rot.

All that now breathes, and all that you love,
All that we weave, will find its way back to the dust.

A band of skeletons is playing,
Don't act like you don't know the tune.
Your part is echoed in the path,
Of every dead leaf blowing past,
Against a counterpoint reflected off the moon.

There is a banquet at the table,
Exotic cheeses wines and cakes.
And every one of us is damned,
Until we start to understand,
That living is to gorge ourselves at our own wakes.

When the stakes are high, best to play the clown.
And we dance while the sky crashes down.

Go see this movie!

So the colts won...

So the Colts just won the superbowl...

As some of you know I live in indianapolis...And I have to be honest with you guys right now. I'm sitting here watching the game and all I can think about is how the yarn I was dying is going to turn out after it dries...I mean GREEN and PURPLE!!!! How fucking cute is that!

Hmmm...Ideas for names?

So the colts won the super bowl after 36 years. That's right, they havnt won a super bowl since Indianapolis stols the Colts from Baltimore...

I know I was to young to remember the colts being from there but I do know the story...and those who don't let me refresh you...

In 1983 the people of Baltimore woke up to find that in the middle of the night there team packed up and moved to indy without telling anyone.

So yea...

can we say shady...

NOT ONLY THAT but we have a new stadium being built for them that they threatend to move cities if they didnt get it a year ago, now we are $10,000,000 in debt over this fucking stadium...and not to mention they just got a new stadium around 10 years ago that we are STILL paying for...

so sorry if I don't get to excited of this win but to me its another football game

*sigh*

...For i have sinned...

Does anyone else feel dirty looking at this pic of Mr. Radcliff??



I feel bad but DAMN Harry Potter is all grown up...

...Let them eat cake...

So I was trying to think of a new project and I got a call from work, And POOF I had my inseration. I know what your thinking... How can work inspire knitting...

WELLL this is what happened. I found out a girl i worked with had to go home * that being Panama* Her Grandfather died so I was like OMG...and decied to make her a shawl. I have been wanting ot make a shawl for a LONG time just had no reason for it. So I found some yarn from my stash, and I turned it into a shawl. I picked out two skeins of Hot Socks. They area ll her fav colors everything from orange to pink and a little blue. But I made a triangle shawl for her. I picked bright colors becasue they are all her FAV colors and I wanted something uplifting.

I was a row down and I didnt like it that much, so I took a breath *grabbed some Gray Goose in honor of E&P* and dropped every 4th stitch.

After having a mini heart attack I worked all the stitches down, and I must say its VERY cute. I will post pics here in a few days!!!

BTW incase you didnt know BROOKLYNNE MICHELLE IS BACK!

W.W.P.A.E.D?

So after sitting around thinking about my projects that need to be done, things that need cleaned, work matters I have come up to one conclusion...

W.W.P.A.E.D

I know you are looking at that jumble of leters and thinking WTF, but They will ALL make since in time...

This I promise you...

Now livingin a age were we all are looking for help on every bookself e.i Chicken soup for the soul, Four Agreements, *insert your favorite self help here*

And I wont lie I read these too, I was still at a loss for what I wanted to do in my life or how I shoul dhandle getting skipped for that promotion that was mine. I was at the end of my rope. Then it all came clear...

and the letters W.W.P.A.E.D came to me...

What
Would
Patsy
And
Eddie
Do?

And after thinking about it, it all wne clear...

They would realize the world revolved around them, a few pills, and a VERY stong 8ball, not to mention be dressed in the fasions that are so NOW that they are not ever here yet!

And I wanted to share this with all of you!

Next time you feel bad about how you look, your job, house work...

Go and find something hard and stiff * this can be taken ANYWAY* and enjoy it for a LONG time, and when its over look over at what is pissing you off and say fuck it and have a strong drink!

And now I leave you with a few words for the goddesses temselves...Patsy and Eddie...
