*continues on in life*

Major Happiness. This MUST BE RED. It just HAS TO. If you want to, you can shield your eyes. But this must be said.


I HAVE ONLY ONE MORE MATH LESSON!!!!!!!!

now let's see if I can get the font back to normal, lol.
hmmm...There we go.

So yes.
There. MUCH better. I can't live life with everything italicized.

One more math lesson. Then a few tests. One Latin test on Friday, shouldn't be too hard (I hope). Writing...just one more day needed on my GB paper (woot!!) Um, Greek is finished! Ummm...annnnd, that's it! Dude, it's such a nice feeling when you can count what's left on...close to one hand! lol. *counts* Dude, I *can* count that on one hand! Yay, I'm so brilliant :-D


Knitting for Etsy -- Working on it. My mom said I could open things up once I have at least 5 projects that I can sell. So far....maybe...3 or 4? 3 need a little work, 4 needs to be finished, and 5 needs to be started, lol. My mom also said I could use those socks that I'll be knitting for that contest and sell them (that sentence made no sense...uuuuh. Maybe it did...anyway, you peoples know what I'm talking about....right?) The only problem witht that? The socks I make have to be *huge* (compared to the socks I usually make) Lemme start at the beginning...


My Sock History ~

It was very tragic at first. First sock class...things are awesome. Come home, I'm knitting the foot part. I get impatient (at the time, I had no talking piano to console me. ). I decide to ignore what the pattern says, by knitting to the 9 inches I need that will actually fit my foot. I decide that when I put it on and see how much I need left is a good measuring trick. *smacks head*. Note to any knitter: Even though you might be angry and annoyed with the pattern? Grit your teeth and bear it. It'll be totally worth it in the end. Anyway, those socks? Turned out HORRIBLY. The foot part, as you can imagine, was WAY too short. Since I knit like only 6 inches (from the heel, btw. Lol, my whole foot isn't just 6 inches long) The pattern was weird like that. But yeah. So. Horrible Pair of Socks #1. The pattern I used, I used for like forever after that, until maybe 5 months ago. EVERY SINGLE SOCK I KNIT. Turned out HUGE. GINORMOUS. AGGRAVATING. This is a need to caps. Extremely. Lemme put it this way...

Imagine yourself. Just knit a pair of socks. The yarn is ADORABLE. You love it. You finally finish those 9 inches, plus the toe. cast off...pull it tight. Put them on...to find that your feet are swimming in them. They're even big on your brother....who's feet are growing and huge. *double smacks head* Eeeevil pattern. Apparently...my feet are like...abnormal? They're different from everyone elses. People who have seen my feet....you know what I'm talking about. I'm an elf :-) Tiny feet. Narrow feet. Yeah. Soooo, my mom gets an idea. When we first got all our sock stuff, my mom got this book for *customized* socks. BRILLIANT. So, the other sock pattern? Had me casting on *64*!! Dude, that could fit around my arm. Now, I'm casting on 40, and following this pattern that's nice. So, hence the smallness? It's a fast knit. Especially when you're making half/ankle socks.

Now, my current problem? I can't follow *my* pattern for my socks, (though I'd like to, cause it's fast, lol) If I'm going to sell these socks to someone who lives in...like Arizona, or something, no matter what, these socks have to bigger than my normal ones. Look at the normal weirdo American. They're feet and legs aren't the most thinnest things in the world, are they? lol. When my mom told me this, (not like that, but the same idea) it made me laugh. But yeah.


Soooo...what was my point?

I forgot ^_^


Um. Yeah.

Also. More things coming up in the life of me. Piano recital this Saturday. Me in the program? Numero Uno! Jooooy! But it's also a good thing, cause I don't have to worry about it through the whole thing like last time. Last time, I was 2nd to last, lol.

and...June 1st...however many weeks that is away, tis me ballet recital. Got my solo memorized, now working on the fine-tuning, on pointe, in costume, acting, memorizing everything...you peoples know what I'm tlaking about.

Off to finish that Great Books Paper! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH! Lol.

Ok. Wow. That so did not work...with the font change.

Lol, that makes me look I was hyper or something.

lol The font DID change, it's just a bit hard to read, because it overlaps :D lol But wow, the sock story is crazy...what size shoe do you wear? (random I know, but I'm just curious.)

Like...5-7 cause it depends on the shoe.
