Out of the Slump

March 21, 2009 at 2:03 am (Uncategorized)

Hiya, I just thought I’d pop in again, before my laptop battery dies. As ever, it’s very late at nighta dn I’m not asleep yet, with my music happily playing
Been a decent day today. Though my essay on greek and roman technology if going terribly. I thought that it would go really well – I know a lot bout it- but the writing of it is a bitch.
But i got a little bit done, I guess that’s all you can ask.
Most importantly: I finished a beautiful hat Margo gave me the pattern for, that doens’t require you to be able to knit on the round in order to make. You can barely see the seam too, which rocks. I’m finally out of my knitting slump! The yarn is what Margo gave me and is sooooo soft.
I don’t exactly suit hats, but nevermind. Ugh terrible pic of me, but hey ho :p

I love lace knitting. I love fairisle stuff too. Things with detail.

Anyways, also today I went to go see Jimmy Carr today at the town hall. No-one else wanted to go with me, but i heard about him coming to Hull through a friend in my history class, so at least there wa someone i knew there. I’ve decided that I’m saying ‘screw it’ to having people with me. If theres something i really want to do i’m not going to be chicken and I’m just going to do it. Heck, i’m a proper adult now – I can do what i like. For example, Margo said that she might one day come to visit Ireland, which means she’s in Britain and I’d love to go meet her in person. The thing is I know my parents/friends/etc would be iffy – they don’t really get the penpal/internet friend thing. But I’ve known her for bloody ages. Now I’ve realised – you know what? It doesn’t matter. I’m old enough to make my own decisions (and take my own ‘risks’) so frankly, if she comes over and I decide to go say hi, i’m doing it. I’d be scared shitless (hell, I always am when i meet people XD) but it’s be awesome. Now me actually getting to Ireland under my won steam is a whole different level of shit-inducing-terror. It’ll involve timetables: trains, ferries or planes and hotels…ugh I can’t handle that. But i’ve got to figure it out one day, so why not?
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah – Jimmy Carr. He was awesome – very funny and the venue was small so while I was right at the back (I got the tickets late) i still got a great view and could hear everything. The downer was that apparently jade Goody’s died. We haven’t heard anything, but he knows/knew her. Guess we wait for the news tomorrow morning. Depressing, but inevitable I suppose.
Also, while I was wasting time because my bus got me into town early (the admitted disadvantage of being on your own is having no-one to procrastinate with), I headed off to the open-air shopping center for a wander round. I was amazed that the shops were still open! Now today (after maybe 5 years + of looking) I finally found a nice union Jack top! somehow managed to stuff it into the little bag I was carrying afterwards, so didn’t walk around the town hall with a bright pink shopping bag -tee hee.
It’s a lovely punky design and is knee length so I thought i could use it as a summer dress. On further inspection, it’s pretty see through at the back, so everyone would be able to see my pants, so i’ll have to wear it with leggings or little shorts.
Also, *omg yay!* it’s an off-the shoulder design! *dreamy sigh*. Seriously hard to find these types of things. Looks great with a waist belt too.

Very happy -haha

Also, next Friday I get to finally go home! I’ve been missing home so bad these last couple of months since I’ve been away so long. I can’t wiat to see my family and home-friends again
On Wednesday (if I can summon up the courage) I wnat to check out a local meditation centre. I’m shit-scared though! It should be interesting…i can pretend i’m an explorer or something. Haha
I need to do some SDl art too. I’ve got some ‘duel’ deadlines in for it, which means I need the art completed. Oi vey.
Ah well, I really should head off to bed.
Later, peeps ^_~
