Evil Knitter

Yep, it’s Friday.  It’s fricking sunny and hot..blech.   Sigh.  I guess I should attempt to get used to it as it’s that time of year, but I don’t wanna!   Nothing special planned for today…I’ve got some homework to do, some knitting to do and some reading to do.

I finished “The Host”…it was good.  A bit of a slow start, but really good once it got rolling.  I think I’m just a fan of Stephenie Meyer’s writing style.  She’s very, very descriptive and paints a really good picture in your head of the characters, the interaction between characters and the action in the story.  I would like to see a sequel to this…her writing is that good.

Tomorrow, I have NOTHING planned. I’m going to spend the day fluffing my bedroom and getting ready to rearrange when the rest of T’s stuff gets here..which is NEXT FRICKING WEEKEND.  I know the weekend after this one, I’m going to the ocean with the parents and family.  Wanna hear a bonus…Grandma is coming with!  w00t!  I love Grandma, she so rocks, man.  We are only spending one night at the coast, but we have a huge ass condo to stay in, it sleeps 8!  We need to see if dogs are welcome, if so, we can take Templar with us!  He’s never been to the ocean and I think he would like it.

Sunday…might go see Ms. Lana.  I owe her some cd’s (which means Saturday night I’ll be burning like a mad woman).  Plus, it’s been a few weeks since I hit her residence up…so Sunday it is.  We can knit and hang out…always a fun thing, ya know?

Other than that…life is the same old…which is driving me bonkers.  I just have to hang on till next summer and I’ll be able to move forward with my life.  I can’t wait…I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s driving me crazy.  Problem is, once I burst out…it’s going to be interesting to see how I burst, where I burst and what happens after I burst out! Muahahahahaha…this itch thing is killing me.

THE HOST!

LOL…hmm, let’s see…my life is so boring that blogging hasn’t been much of an option lately.  The highlights?

• been riding my bike..love it!
• knitting on the Central Park Hoodie
• hanging with the mafia from midnight till 6am nightly
• totally digging the “Twilight” teaser on myspace
• catching up on tv online
• reading like the book whore that I am
• going to class
• hitting the 24/7 coffee shop for caffeine at 3am (hey they have free wi-fi)
• have convinced P that having dinner at midnight is not a weird thing
• text messaging like a fiend

yeah, that about covers it. See, nothing much going on over here in my little corner of the world.

Yep, we almost had a murder this morning.  I hit the bed at 5:30am only to be awoken at 8:10 by the carpet installers in the apartment next door.  Apparently, they felt the need to install carpeting that early in the bedrooms.  I mean, is there any other time of day to do it?  I guess not.  I mean, we didn’t even get a heads up that it was coming or not?  What an ass.

I did get back to sleep at noon though, thank the goddess. I consoled myself with a five cheese macaroni dish for lunch, it was quite tasty and made me feel much better.  There is something to be said for comfort food, you know?

I found my size 6 and size 8 needles today so I can start on the Central Park Hoodie!  Yippee! I’m only about a week behind, but I plan to really get kicking on it and will not be knitting on anything else till it’s done.  I need a new hoodie..so this is a good project for me.

Other than that, it’s fricking hot here and all the fricking kids are in the common area (behind my apartment).  The parents all send them there to scream at the top of their lungs, beat on stuff with rocks and what have you and fight amoungst themselves.  Yeah, it’s a laugh a minute around here.  I got back at one mom though, I parked right outside her house (after all, I had to read my mail, right) and jammed my car stereo with the bass full blast….right outside her apartment. She actually came out to ask me to turn it down because she couldn’t hear her tv…I said, yeah, well, I can never hear my tv because your kid is always screaming outside my living room window.  Payback is a total bitch and I’m the bitch to be dishing it out lately.

I have no idea what has gotten into me lately, but it’s surprising alot of people!

Seriously…I have exactly 275 people on my IM list…and not one FRICKING ONE OF THEM IS ONLINE!  I swear I’m on the net alone tonight.  It’s so sad….I’m kind of lonely…..*sniffle*.

Oh hell ya baby!  I finally found something I liked.  I was going for Red Heart Soft, but they HAD ZERO of it where I was shopping.  I ended up getting a Caron Simply Soft Tweed in Charcoal.  It’s super pretty and black..so I’m happy! LOL.  My choices were pink or black…I went with the black and in a heathered tone.  Sweet.

Yeah, I’m all about the acronyms these days! It’s easier than coming up with a full blown title to a post.

I just spent the last seven hours being bored out of my mind!  The school I’m going to had a mandatory “grammar skills” class today (I stress the word mandatory).  So, how was it? Hmm, let me see?

I just spent the last four years taking five different writing/grammar classes, including one that was called “Technical Writing”. Naturally, I was a prime candidate for a crash course in grammar, right?  OMFG…I could have taught the class, I swear.  Our teacher was really great, he was personable, knowledgeable and if I hadn’t already known the stuff, I would have enjoyed it.  Alas, I was bored beyond silly, I was bored to the point of being in agony.  It was horrible.

The worst part, some people in the class needed it!  I can see the need for such a course, but come one, attendance should be based upon knowledge or something.  I would rather have spent the money they charged me for this class for something useful like ip addressing or an extra A+ class.  What a fricking waste time and money on my part.  Blech.

It did make me thankful for the education I have gotten though, that was a plus.  Poor P was bored out of his mind as well. I actually felt bad for him, he had to go to work right afterwards so it was a total waste of his day…and on NFL draft day too.

Well, I whacked my hair off again. And I added blonde highlights to it. And I’m too lazy to get my camera out and take a picture…so that will have to wait until tomorrow. But, man, is this sh**t short! I could use a dime sized bit of shampoo and have a nickel to put back in the bottle! Muahahahaha. Seriously…it’s super, super short in back and longer in front…with really blonde highlights in it.

Don’t ask me what got into me today…it just did. I was planning on cutting it shorter, but was going to wait a few weeks more..but the “itch” hit today and wham..there I was. It actually turned out cuter than I thought it would. It is just hair it will grow back eventually! Hehehe

I actually do like it though, it’s really, really “care free”! I freaked in the shower tonight because there wasn’t anything to shampoo hardly..but hey, think of the cost on shampoo I will save? Woot! More yarn money.

And…I put gas in my car today…I topped off the tank..6 gallons for 20.82. I used to be able to fill my car up totally (10 gallons) for under 20.00. Sigh..good thing I own a bicycle! If it gets much higher I won’t have to worry about filling the gas tank because I won’t be able to, it’s going to be me and my bike!

And, we had Papa Murphy’s for dinner tonight, which wasn’t bad at all. I was kind of surprised. With the cost of petrol, we have had to downsize from Bellagio’s to Papa Murphy’s. Budget cuts, you know. This budget cut wasn’t that bad though…it was really good.

Other news…would you believe that I have an 8:30am class tomorrow? I know, I’m just as shocked as you are. Don’t these people know I don’t do mornings….before 10am at least? Oh, you wait, they will never schedule me for something this early again, trust me. My evil powers will be at their peak at that time of morning….hahahahahahaha..woe to them that expects me to be civil before 10am! Plus, the fricking thing last till 4:30pm…the rat ba****ds! I hope their souls rot in what hell they believe in!

And I watched the Dallas Stars beat the Sharks tonight…always a thrill.  I do love me some hockey.  I did have that bottle of wine tonight…always yummy…always a treat.  And yes, I drank the whole entire bottle.  It was therapy for the Avalance losing yesterday, I was upset.

So beyond that, not much is going on. Muahahahahaha

I’m up and it’s still daylight outside.

After rummaging in my super stash, I came to the conclusion, I just don’t have the yarn to make the central park hoodie in it! I’m having a hard time with that thought as I still have enough yarn stashed in this house to knit a house cover, albeit a very colorful house cover.  So, I’m off to buy yarn this afternoon to start my CPH.

I also think I’m going through a midlife crisis or something.  I’ve developed a serious lust for motorcycle boots and simply have to have a pair of them.  Don’t ask me why, I don’t own a motorcycle at the moment? I just know I have to have them…and I will get them, eventually.

And someone at my school has a serious, serious death wish.  They actually scheduled me for an 8:30am class tomorrow?  Are they nuts? I have a feeling that after tomorrow…I will no longer be scheduled for classes that early in the morning, I’m thinking one time will do the trick. LOL.  I clearly admit that I have serious attitude before noon…which is why I rarely take a job that requires conversation before noon.  It’s a disgusting time of day and it just sucks ass…in a big ol way!

I’m thinking of chopping my hair off again? I like it like it is, but would like it shorter even still.  Who knows what is up with me lately?  I think I need some kind of therapy?  Maybe a nice bottle of wine tonight will do the trick? I think I have one in stock?

Do you see?  Everything is a question with me lately.
