Oh, jeez…. Oh, my… There-.. The skeins are everywhere. Looming over me and watching me when they think I’m otherwise occupied.

They’re perched on every shelf in my room, strewn across the floor, covering my desk completely… Their numbers have grown substantially.

They’re talking to each other now. Whispering their covert yarns and devious plans to one another. They think I can’t hear them; that I don’t speak their worsted dialect. They’re wrong, I’ve understood every strand of information they’ve passed around the room.

This could be the night they do it. Like the furbys of my youth, they too are planning to kill me and take over the world. The question is… Do I have the balls to stop them?

Wanna know what I just realized? The people who only watched the Harry Potter movies and never read any of the books don’t know that Hermione was a knitter. Not just any knitter, either. She was a charitable knitter who knitted for house elves. For house elves! And all of those people will never know! It’s just… I can’t even.

The hat is finished. It will soon be Idaho bound. 

Well, I’m bored… I think I’ll go watch a bit of Doctor Who and knit :)

P.S. my ask box is always open. so, um, feel free to pop on by?

So, in the past 2 1/2 weeks I’ve been living here with these three other people, I made an effort to be in the living room socializing and getting to know them for maybe the first three nights…

Well, since then I’ve just been sitting on my bed on my side of the bedroom. I have watched 4 seasons of Doctor Who (and bawled my eyes out), 3 Harry Potter movies, 5 Disney movies, and yelling and screaming at my knitting. I have been on tumblr the rest of the time, laughing uncontrollably, or sleeping for several hours during the daytime as I unintentionally change my sleeping habits to that of the nocturnal.

They probably think I’m insane; but, I really could care less. I’m having way more fun by myself then I would with them and there discussions of their hot deals at Ikea and that spaghetti sauce was on sale at Albertson’s.

I will stay in my room, socializing only when it is absolutely necessary :)

However, that would mean that I’d have to go on knit picks and buy my cabled needles in the sock knitting sizes (because the sock needle sizes aren’t interchangeable like the rest of my set :( boooo…) And I’m supposed to be cutting back on my knitting spending, blegh… And dpns are stupid and only exist in my needle collection to mock me with their fiddly-ness and my inability to learn their magical ways.
