Shock Your Mom

The party seemed to be bearable, but I was just so lonely. The lonely thing about being the only person in a relationship is that when all your friends are off hooking up, and your bf or gf is not there is that you are alone and don't have anyone to dance with. I left Shock your Mom after being there for 10 minutes.  I danced for 5 minutes and realized that I was a 3rd wheel and I decided to look for other friends. When I finally found them, I realized again that it was just a matter of time before they were sucking face with strangers and I would be alone again. I had a good time last night, we stuck together, fended off weirdoes from each other and dancingling dodged past hook-ups, but tonight was different. At least I will always be able to remember the Ganter. Btw: to shock my mom, I didn't wear an undershirt. I know.....very risque, but hey, I am supposed to shock her right??!

Buenos Aires vs. Gambier

Cannot sleep. Its 2:25 in the morning and I am awake because I have so much anxiety about going abroad that I just keep thinking of things that could go wrong, and reasons why I shouldn't go. I am so conflicted. On on hand I really want to get better at speaking Spanish and there is no better way than to go to Buenos Aires, but on the other hand I don't want to leave home, and by home I mean Gambier. On top of the stress of being alone and starting from scratch with new people, I keep worrying that I won't have enough money to live off of while I am there. Which them leads to thoughts of how I am gonna have to work as much as I can during the school year, and then some more over the summer to try to finance this venture. And the stress of trying to be able to afford going somewhere where I have reservations about going in the first place is just putting me over the edge. Hence my dilemma. I have to let them know tomorrow if I want to get a number in the housing lottery if I decide not to go. Although, if I decided not to go, I will be the only one of my friends that is staying. UGH. I am damned if I do, damned if I don't. Maybe I should take the Merce Cunningham approach and let fate decide. 

Cummulus: A Mathematically Accurate Sculpture Of Crocheted Clouds (PHOTOS, VIDEO) - StumbleUpon

Crocheted clouds, crafts can be related to math and science. People often underestimate the technical abilities that are required to make a garment that fits. The human body is not flat, and knitting and crocheting a garment that fits properly is not an easy task. There is a lot of math involved and geometry to make them curve or fit snug. So next time you see a knitter, think of them as a mathematician-craft-genius.

Unpreparedass People

Cannot stand unprepared people. I am not the kind of person that plans things for very long ahead, but when it comes to my education I will NOT be unprepared. However, when forced to work in groups sometimes this is inevitable when your group members refuse to suck it up and prepare for class with you. UGH

Cable Cap

The first knitted good made on my interchangeable Nova Knitter's Pride needles!

Chunky Cowl

His cowl was made on straight needles and seamed. It took about 3 hours and it's very cozy!

Paper!

My paper was awesome! And my professor is dumb!

Gordzilla!

Sooo big! All many chemicals

Outside the door I found this little guy. He is so precious!

Thrown for a good cause!

Cabled Goodness Beret

Yet again I have caved and made another beret. I used Caron Simply Soft Blue Mint and this pattern courtesy of Ravelry. 

Fish Scale Lace Knitted Tam

I have been working on this hat and that like shows it as a work in progress. I have finished and if I do say so myself, it is magnificent. 

Garden Update

So, I officially have one watermelon without rabbit teeth marks in it and one that has been nibbled, I have lots of flowers and about 5 cucumbers, but hopefully that will increase, as I have tried to pollinate them myself, but I don't know how that turned out. 

Earring Madness!!

I am trying my hand at making earrings with my trusty supply of buttons and my glue gun in my artillery. I also tried to make some very small fabric flowers, didn't work out too well, I will have to keep practicing.

Second Attempt at Nesaia Hat

So, I posted pics from when I made this hat the first time, but little did I know I made it inside out :/ The pattern can be found here. I decided to use the yarn that I dyed with food coloring and Kool-Aid to make it that you can found here. This is my progress thus far.
