My first week being boss and I've already had two, count em, two call ins.
Ok.....
the boss being on vacation does NOT mean that you are on vacation as well!
Please keep coming in your scheduled hours.
Thank you!

I was too hungry today when I went through the drive-thru,
and when the guy asked if I wanted it super-sized,
I was practically, "yes, yes, dear god yes!"

Ever had one of those days where you just want to be comforted?
Like, it would just make your day amazing if someone would just say,
"I like you alot"
"I think youre the prettiest girl I've ever seen!"
"I'm glad I'm with you"
"Everything's gonna be A-ok"
"Don't worry about money, you'll be allright"
"You are competent"
"Go get em tiger!"
I don't know, just something. Anything. But no one says anything remotely close to comforting. Even a last ditch effort to actually somehow manipulate people to say something comforting does not work. (Which I guess wouldn't have felt as good as a spontaneous thing anyway...) It would have been amazing.
Sometimes you just need a little pat on the back, or a hug or something. Oh well.

I really need to get new fish...

Ok, so this elicited some stares.
I have been reading online about spinning. Supposedly it is supposed to be cheap and inexpensive, and the idea of creating my own yarn fascinates me. Not only would I have made the scarf or whatever, but also the yarn? Thats amazing. I've seen pictures of yarns that people have made on their own, and it's incredible. I want to one day be able to do this. Some people really get into it, buying sheep, llamas, and even rabbits for their wool...and fur....
And here's where my brother thought it was weird.

My cat is of the fluffy variety. A regular poofball of fur. He walks around, and I can literally see a trail of fur floating in the air behind him. And a thought struck me. I was afraid it was too weird so I looked it up.

Pet fur, cats, dogs, etc, is legitimately used in spinning circles. If you're going to brush your pet, and have a lot of fur left behind, why not use it for creating yarn? Most people also mix it with wool, its not straight pet hair yarn, but the stuff I've seen is pretty neat-o. So I gave him a good brushing, and voila! I already have a good bit of fur stuffed away in a gallon ziploc baggie.

Weird? Yes, maybe, but it also makes sense, and if I am able to spin it into a yarn, might just turn out rather cool.

Aaaaaaaahhhhh!

Finals are conflicting with my urge to knit\quilt\paint\and generally be creative.

I would like to become much more serious with my art. I would like to get more organized, and I would like to improve my skills. I would love to be able to make a small amount, not a lot, but a small portion of my income from these things one day. That would be so amazing!

Weaving has become a passion of mine. It feels so incredible, just the idea that I've basically made my own fabric. After starting to hand-make things, things you get from a store just kind of lose any interest. Where's the heart in that?

Finals are almost done with!
I had no idea how much I had left to do in my art class though. Yowzaa!
I am ready for this crazy ass semester to be over. It has been so weird, and blah!

Sometimes I feel guilty for liking some of the music I like, but from now on no more! Yes, it is true, there are Timberlake, Sparks, Fergie, Perry, Clarkson, Pink, and yes, even Nickleback songs that I enjoy hearing when they come on the radio.

I think it's funny that Perry's HotnCold song describes almost every boy I've ever been involved with, not that thats been a lot, but the fact remains. Maybe boys are just crazy.

My fish died!

I survived Thanksgiving!

I don't have any money for the Christmas presents!
Everyone will get something handmade!

I think it's funny that Obama was calling for all this change and then he names a bunch of people who were part of past administrations. Yes, my name is Clinton.
Thats still better than a man who almost killed himself with a pretzal....

I think that I still wish it was easier to make friends with girls!

My hands are cold.
I need to lose weight.

I feel lonlier than ever....
I want to be loved.

I'm thankful for the things I have.
I know I need to be careful what I wish for.

I know that I think sometimes that I wish I mattered to you as much as you matter to me. And I don't know what that means.

I'm confused
I'm content.

I need to be my own person, I need to make decisions on my own.
I need to be decisive, I need to "grow a pair"

I like Deathcab, and Sufjan, and Radiohead,

I like knitting, and weaving, and painting, and drawing, and anything that makes me feel productive and ever so slightly good at something.
