there's something about Clifford the big red dog that I don't get. Where does he poop? I mean let's think about this rationally, folks. He's bigger than a house, so his poo must be bigger than a car, at least. So where do they put the dog's poo, since they live on an island, i would guess that they put it in the water, but that's pretty sick, y'know? Anyways, devan watches this show every day and every day I wonder "where does he poop?" and i get really grossed out.

I got no friends cause they read the papers...

i'm kind of a dork, but i'm still probably cooler than you. wanna see some stuff i want? dish set 1, dish set 2, tea service, serving dishes, stemware, stainless steel canisters, turkey roaster, and finally,sofa bed,chair and ottoman (olive).

so if you want to buy me any of that crap, go ahead. that's my unnofficial christmas list. there ya go. actually, I also want an Mp3 player in my car, a camcorder, my subscription to Martha Stewart Living, I also want the soprano's cookbook. I want more. I'm going to update this later.

i'm about to withdraw from my art class. the prof. is driving me nuts. today we were doing our warm ups and she's going "faster, faster!" so i'm going really fast, and then when i finished the pose, I got a new peice of charcoal while i waited for the model to switch poses and the prof comes over to me and goes " you too, you're going too slow. I turned my head to look at her, and she goes " you're going too slow! you've just completely missed a pose!" and i looked at the model who was still in the same pose and i said " no i didn't, it's right here, " and pointed to it on my paper. then she goes, "fine, let's see you work fast then." and when the model changed poses, I started drawing her and the prof walked away.

This class is annoying. I think that this one really annoying girl in my class (who I think I've written about before) is ruining it for everyone else with her attitude. Not all of us feel the way she does and the professor is treating us all that way.

The other annoying thing about the class is that I missed it last week. My car was broken. Today the prof came up to me and goes "where have you been?" and i told her that my car was being repaired. She said "you haven't been here in awhile." I told her that i only missed that one class, nothing else, but she insists that I have missed more. Well it isn't my fault that she is so absent minded that she requires attendance and then forgets to take it every week. Annoying.

I have an exam tonight. I'm so tired........................................................ ! Jon passed another test today. yay!

Newsflash!I have class on monday nights!

can you people remember that because I've already missed two monday night classes and, well, ....It's starting to piss me off. Thx!

I should be sleeping but my shower refreshed me. I didn't do anything productive this weekend. I just did a couple quick sketches to fill up my sketchbook and studied a little for a midterm on tuesday. I bought the wedding addition of martha stewart yesterday and saw something really cute that makes me not want to get married in vegas, but have a little, cute wedding around here somewhere.

I had to miss 3 classes last week because of my car. stupid thing. I actually don't care. I know i didn't miss anything important. The classes I did go to really annoyed me for some reason. Well, only one of them really, and since it was the last one for the week, it's left a very bitter taste in my mouth. I had so much to say thursday night but I suck at talking. Even when I've clearly thought out what I want to say, I still can't get anything out right. Is there a name for that?? I mean, I understand things perfectly well but I just can't get the words out.

oh well.

burp! Devan's easter pictures are done!! they're so cute. I want to take her back there. maybe I can get some kind of fairy thing or black and white. Hm. We'll see. I'm definitely taking my next baby there, if i have one. when they're like a week old to get some photos done.

Today my art prof. got into a big, loud argument with the head of the art dept. Personally, I was annoyed by it and thought it wasn't very professional. Plus, my prof was in a really bad mood when I asked her a question about something at the end of class, so she only half listened to my question and gave me about a fourth of an answer. I hated class today. I was drawing this girl, and when time was up, I realized I had my left arm folded, so that my hand was near my left shoulder. When I moved it it wouldn't go. It was like the muscle would tear if I kept moving it. It was really weird and it's still really sore. That class is SO exhausting. I wish we could at least SIT through some of the drawings. The girl I can't stand (she actually showed up today) kept being loud and disrupting, and the model kept moving her head to look at the stupid girl and then she wouldn't go back to the same pose. I swear I had to start the drawing over at least 5 times. I wish the prof. would notice how annoying she is and just kick her out of the class.

I have sociology tonight and I don't really feel like going. I haven't felt like going to class at all this week. I am STILL sick. Did I mention I'm sick? I thought I had written an entry about my illness, but I guess for whatever reason it didn't post onto my website. (ANNOYING). I shouldn't have gotten out of bed this week, really.I really shouldn't have gone to my English class. Ugh. I got my paper back. I made some of the STUPIDEST errors I've ever seen myself make. I mean I guess it's not that bad for writing my whole paper in less than a half hour(since my Amelie one sucked, I started over and did a paper on GDM.)

I wish I could take a nap, but Devan's just woken up from her nap and I guess that means I'm out of luck.

I'm done writing now

your attention, please!

(Nov 19) I've been asked to make a Christmas wish list, so here it is. Click on Santa to view it!



(Dec 11) I am unable to sleep, so I took time to make the blog archives work. of course, images that were on old yahoo server do not work anymore (read: anything before April 2005) so you'll have to use your imagination. Check the sidebar for a link if you're interested.
.......................


Christmas Wishlist!

(Nov 22) There. I finally did it. Now go buy me stuff:)
.......................


(Nov 7)Take note of the changes along the right sidebar. I've been reading blogs, and that, of course, means joining knitalongs! However my next task (which will be my next announcement) is to create a holiday wishlist, as there have been several people asking for one.
.......................


(Aug 6) Hi guys, How cute is this: I have a new little niece!! Bryan and Mandie's little girl was born last Sunday (I think)

and in the spirit of utter ridiculousness, I give you, Madelyn dancing.
.......................


(June 1) Here is a little picture. Obviously, these are BF5 lyrics.

.......................


(May 23) Sup dudes? I was kinda bored last night, so I made a picture.

again. only tell me if you like it. I have a fragile ego.
.......................


(May 14) Going through a wave of depression. Don't feel like doing anything except artwork. Here are a couple pictures I made. You may have seen them, since they're meant for my websites. If you've seen them as background images, excuse the tiling, I'm fixing it when I feel like it.



if you like them, let me know. if you don't, keep it to yourself.
.......................

(April 28) Ok... I've been on hiatus. Bear with me and my broken links and pictures while I move all my junk around.
Life is good and I'm glad my site is working again.
.......................

(Jan 11) Due to real life pals/family complaining about how little real life content there is in this journal, I'm going to make a real effort to include that stuff, and not just knitting stuff. I hope this pleases you guys.
.......................

(Jan 10) Today is the anniversary of my Grampa's death. We still miss you so much.
.......................

(Jan 4) Congratulations Michael & Tiffany!!
Welcome to the family, Tif!
.......................

(Dec 30) Just two quick notes today:
1. We've got another completed Casey's Coat. click to see Vito!
2. I'll be out of town for about 3 weeks. My brother, Mike, is getting married! After that I'm going to be house sitting for my mom while she is out of town. This will not have an affect on you or my blogging, I just felt like sharing.
.......................

(Dec 2) My brother has been making me some pretty cool knitting charts. I think they're mighty awesome and I'm trying to figure out a project I can use them for. They're pdf files, except the first one (which is actually not his design, it's the work of someone on myspace.com) so go ahead and have at them. If he makes many more charts, I'll disable the links and offer the chart patterns for a small fee via paypal, because, after all, it is his art work and he deserves compensation!

(Nov 28)My little sister is a knittin' fool. We shopped all over for some good needles for her. She's been using these kids plastic-y needles that I find to be really uncomfortable and annoying. We tried some aluminum needles but they were too slick and long. We finally settled on some Clover Bamboo needles and from what I have heard, she likes them the best. She's working on a lavender scarf. I'll have my mom take a pic so I can post it here.
.......................

(Nov 28) I'm back! Christmas Knitting and yarn stash enhancement is in full effect in this house. There's a new(?) Knitting/Fabric store in the town my mom lives in.  It's called Sew Krazy.

image is property of sew-krazy.com

They are currently squeezed in a tiny location just chock full of amazing stuff! They have a whole shelf of Kaffe Fasset fabrics, which you know I loved.  They had lots of yarn by Rowan and Brown Sheep. They didn't have any Debbie Bliss. The shop is working on expanding in a new location, equipped with a beautiful fireplace (My mom and I peeked through a hole in the door) and it's HUGE. This place was great and there's a cafe called Muddy Waters next door. So this place will be perfect to sit down, relax, drink coffee, and knit by the fireplace when I go out to visit for 3 weeks in January. The building is also really beautiful and contains many other interesting shops. Check it out if you're ever nearby.
.....................

(Nov 20)Someone's used my pattern! Yesss! As you may know, Casey's Coat was published in Debbie Stoller's follow-up to Stitch n' Bitch, Stitch n' Bitch Nation. Today I was looking at the livejournal.com knitting
community and saw that someone actually used my pattern! Sweet, right?
.....................

  (Nov 18)Last year for Christmas, Mr. Handsome gave me an EZ Stir. If you haven't got a clue what an easy-stir is, (consider yourself lucky) it's a device that attaches to your pots and pans and stirs your sauces for you! Ingenious! I have still not taken the EZ Stir out of its package. This year, I thought I'd make it easy on my husband and anyone else who wishes to shower me with gifts.
ho, ho, ho!
