Unscheduled outage.

So I am listening to "Answer Me This" podcast. Julia introduced me and it is quite funny British trio that answer any questions listeners send in.

One thing they mentioned was Alderny Airport, where they have a knit-while-you-wait corner, and all knit squares are used to make blankets for charity.

I think this is a great idea but I think that it would drive me nuts. I would always wonder if my square was good enough. Or did it make it into a blanket? Did someone use it as a nappy for their baby? Did it get blown or thrown away? Does the custodian steal a few of these for personal use?

Did Miss Aguilera really call herself "X-tina" for awhile? Wow, I really am learning a lot from Answer Me This. I also am so super duper excited about this new book I got yesterday called Creepy Cute Crochet. I am halfway through a tiny Cthulhu already!

Also I found a really weird convergence of things relating to not wanting children -- some stuff on another podcast (kinky) some stuff on Ravelry (wierd!) and some other thing that I ran across through Stumble Upon or something. After reading these sites I was weirded out.

Some of these people are downright crazy about it. Now I totally support a person's choice to not have kids. I don't think they are weird for not wanting kids. A guy I work with had a vasectomy when he was quite young and has a bunch of cats he loves, and is about to get married and not have kids with his girlfriend, and I think it rocks. I don't even think they are weird for not wanting to hang out around kids or for wanting kids to behave in stores, etc. If I were them I would treat an unruly kid just like an unruly dog -- in fact I do.
But some of these people are really fruitcakes. I call bullshit on their stupid complaints. Yeah kids are dirty. So are dogs. So are lizards. So are cats. SO ARE ADULTS! Take a look at any "expose" about how gross hotel rooms are, public restrooms, etc. Little kids have the common cold and jelly, not Hepatitis and semen. So have fun pissing in the bar toilet, which hasn't been properly cleaned since the homeless dude bathed in there last week. Then worry about that woman sitting her kid on the counter. Think about it. Diapered baby ass = STD free.
Oh and the "children should be seen and not heard unless spoken to"? I will remember that next time you are prattering away about your period in the middle of Target you stupid cunt, or when your dog barks for four hours while you are banging that slag from the Pizza Hut, or when you try to serenade your true love at karaoke after six martinis. GAG.
I hate kids behind me at restaurants, I hate screaming babies in theatres and on airplanes -- EVERYONE DOES! EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE KIDS.
It is a big world with a lot of annoyances. Stand up for yourself. Tell people to get their screaming, dirty kid away from you. And then grow up and get a fucking clue that they are no more annoying than half the adults or dogs you will ever meet and a lot less lethal than either.

I also love how somehow these people think that kids are different today than "in their time". These douchebags are like 23. Which means that I babysat these pieces of shit and let me tell you what they were like: dirty shrieking bastards whose parents indulged them. Yeah, you.
So I support your choice to not have like or be around kids. Now shut the fuck up about it.


Whew. Sorry. I hate intolerance don't you?

I am a pest!

I bothered Kel for like an hour yesterday going around Kohl's saying "This is crochet." and "This is knit." about all the ass-crap handbags they had there.

Oh I also got this yesterday:



















That's right, bishes, the LG enV2. It is totally awesome. I love the 'read my texts without opening it' feature and how it makes Collapse look as good as it is on my computer! I love how it has a 4GB microSD! This thing is almost as good as my danga-dang iPod. Now don't be coming around asking for money because you think I am rich-- this was free with my 2yr upgrade plan.

Oh, i am also back on my meds so I will probably be nicer. Or less lethal at least. Alliteration!

Swap is AWESOME!

Okay I got both the packages from my SWAP partners! I am inundated with cool stuff:

Hailing from the northlands Minnesota, my World Wide Knit In Public Day (June 14th ya'll) swap partner, TwiNkQ, sent a great knitting bag she made herself, and some lovely yarn, knitting needles, and a CD with great music in addition to the patterns.

The bag as you can see, has a BEAR on it, and PIRATE-y skull and crossbones butttons!!!
















For the Mystery Theme Swap, my swap partner Hreow from Scotland sent a massive amount of yarn, of hemp, linen, and Blue Faced Leicester wool! Plus Sensational Knitted Socks by Charlene Schurch!
















Also since the theme was Scotland, she included some beautiful books about Scotland, and the yarn appears to be all locally made.

So, swapping is totally worth it~
You give cool stuff and you get cool stuff!
