So it didn't go very well at the dentist. I got 5 shots of whatevercaine and my cheek got numb but my teeth didn't. So then the dentist said to go see a specialist because it just wasn't gonna happen for me.
Now I'm at home and the pain is starting because I'm not numb anymore.
I have plans to go see Borat tonight but ow. I don't know if it's a good idea.
I finally had enough of tossing and turning all night so I'm up. Vicodinafied. Toothaches are the worst. WORSE THAN CHILDBIRTH. i mean, if they last for weeks like mine have. There's no cute baby at the end...
I'm looking through some of my flickr favorites, like Trip Print Press, mav, evanichole and compiling a folder of fresh ideas and inspiration. I do that alot. Jon is kinda pushing me to make a list of things I need to get my letterpress going, because I've been sort of whining that I don't use it and that I'm sad to see it just sit there and because he's being a very cute and supportive husband.
I don't need much for my press,but I am just so scared of being mediocre at EVERYTHING that I don't want to try anything. I guess I should have considered this before I went crazy tracking down a press. But I want to do it and I have ideas. I'm just afraid.
I am tired of being mediocre at everything. I want to be good at something.
I've been out of the loop lately, hopped up on happy pills and reeling from the pain of my root canal needing teeth, but I finally ventured out in public and realized that my box is on display throughout the county!
I designed the logo, etc for this box a few months ago and then I heard nothing else about it, so I figured, like most things I do, this would not go anywhere. But here it is, in 3D form, and being used to collect winter coats, etc. for children in need, throughout Sussex County, NJ. Kinda cool.
In other news, I made some revisions to my wishlist and it's now updated over in the middle column. If you're feeling generous, I'm willing to warmly recieve your gifts!
I spent an hour and half today getting 'numbed' at the dentist, without success. It's not much fun to get like, 7 or 8 shots into your gums and cheeks for NO REASON. I left with a toothache and a giant swelled up jaw/cheek. Fun fun fun.
Other than that, I've been really busy and missing my little Devan.

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.

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.

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 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.
