AAAAAAAH......Ahhhhhh.....ah. Heehee :-)

Many things. Many many thing (as well as "manty" as I just typed...)

1)
I, um. Well. You all know that Grace Anne and Kate left last week...sadness all around, everyone kinda cried. In the girl section anyway, lol.
So, therefore. Again, as you all know I've been under Grace Anne's tutelage...(dunno if I spelled that right. But, that word ALWAYS, always always reminds me of the weird teacher in Anne of Green Gables...who likes, what's her name, Prissy Andrews? Cause he says "I think Miss Andrews is progressing wonderfully under my tutelage. *cheesy grin*". Go figure. Wow, another rabbit trail.) And so yeah, since she's gone. I'm now.... The St.David's Church Pianist. For forever. Until Grace Anne gets back...which I dunno when that is. But whatever. So, till then. I'll be playing. Every. Single. Sunday. Unless...I can't make it for some reason...(an example as been used that I get run over a truck...I found that SO funny. Hahahahaha! *sarcasm*) and so I have 2 girls who are my back-ups...lol.
Anyway, played today. It was nice. Or nicER than it was the first time I played for church by myself. And...yeah. Get paid, so that's awesome. At the end of each month...or that's what the money-person said.

2)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

^.^

I. Am. Like. BURSTING. With. More. Than Happiness?

Several reasons, but that's like...telling #3 in #2....which doesn't seem right.

Now, I shall continue with #2. Um,

KALEY IS COMING TO VISIT..........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


let's see...oh YAY. let's hope the font change didn't...change anything. Hahahaha, lol.

She's...getting here on....Tuesday. While...I'm at camp. (whoops...so much for concealing #3...) And yeah. She's at Haley's. And yeah...then...I get home...on the 30th. I do whatever...then we're...ALL TOGETHER. WHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH. MY. WORD.

That's all I have to say. If you know me, I'm bouncing all over the place.

3)
Camp is tomorrow! We leave at 10:00....supposed to get there at 9:30. And...yeah

MAJOR WOOTAGE!! It's called...Summer Sanctus. Holy Summer...I'm assuming, if my Latin is right.

There's, singing, 6 sessions with different speakers, lots of games (I heard Capture the Flag...in the dark! My favvvvorite :-D), um, morning and evening prayers (in other words, lol, Matens and Vespers. )then, at the eeeeennnd. a. DANCE. *dies* *not with laughter, with excitement*

Hmmmmhm :-)

And now...I must be off...to do something.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Tubey -- From Knitty.

(By Cassie Rovitti...)


Feast your eyes on my new knitting project.

*loves*

It's called..."Tubey". Which isn't the most creative name, but whatever. It's called Tubey, cause...it's got the most simple construction. Which, a lot of people seem to be doing that now a days...making stuff that doesn't need seeming. All knit in the round, or like, knit one part, that's left on a stitch holder, then you knit a sleeve or something, and do a 3 needle bind-off...which automatically seems them together without the bother of *actually* seeming them.

Wow, rabbit trail

Um, it's called Tubey because....it's all knit in the around, and so it's just 2 big long tubes. So, yes. Tubey is it's name.

My yarn? It called for Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. Which, is like...SOOOOOOOO soft. I've made beanies as presents for people before with this yarn, and I loved knitting with it.

I also changed up the color way, I decided I needed to branch out...and it also depended on the yarn store's selection, lol.

Heh...just read through that again....and wouldn't quite make sense to non-knitters. Color way, being what the pattern called for. Knitting is amazingly like that....there's so many options that you can choose to do with your knitting...it's not even funny.

Here's what I came up with.

~ Stripe (CC)



~ Stripe (CC)


~ Stripe (CC)



~ Stripe (CC)



~ Stripe (CC)



~ Main color. (MC)


And...that's it. The only main, huge ginormous problem...they didn't have enough balls of my main color. Which, is like totally devastating. Since...it's the MAIN COLOR. They only had 2 balls....which we took, and I need 7. So, since it's one that they always carry....we ordered some more. But I think it'll be like a week before it comes in. But, already...last night I finished my first ball. So...yeah. By the time I finish the 2nd ball, it won't be even close to the striping yet..so...major sadness.

And...so yeah...

Oh, something I wanted to share. From my mom's knitting calender...major surprise there :-)

"Purls of Wisdom...Knitters are frequently accused of being obsessed with the process and the stuff we use to do it with. I think that sounds sort of negative. Instead of describing myself as 'obsessed with knitting, ' I prefer to think of my lifestyle as exquisitely focused in a very narrow direction. "

I...don't really think being called "obsessed with knitting" a negative thing.. But whatever. Either way, it's awesome. :-D

When I was Young....

....writing stories and then reading them aloud after church was always the most favoritest thing to do. (Anyone from Ponca remember that? lol....the good ole' days...)

It was always special when someone got to read their story aloud...we'd always be in the toddler's Sunday school room, cause they had this huge table, that was a semi-circle, and a blip in the middle, so someone (bigger) older could sit there and be able to see everyone well. So, whoever was reading got to sit in that special big chair. While the rest of us were pretty much sitting there with our knees up to our armpits.

But, the only problem. We didn't know how to keep quiet while someone was reading...we'd either talk among ourselves, or have a constant commentary of the story. Or both. it was usually both, lol. So, the story was either A) never heard. B) started, but never finished, because she got caught up in some conversation about what size her skirt was (i.e. teacup, vase, plate. Lol, do you girls remember that?) or C) all of the above.

This...has nothing to do with what I'm going post. But, I needed SOMETHING else.

I'm getting ahead of myself.

Um, Ok, I like...have this name book...that's majorly old. Talk about like 80's. Seriously, the people on the front look TOTALLY 80's. Hair...clothes...the way they're sitting...you get the idea. And, for some reason, I stored a couple of my little stories in there...that I had ripped out of some small notebooks (I loved small notebooks better than large, normal sized ones. I have no idea why...go figure.) And, I was flipping through that old name book one day. And came across a story...that I found. I have NO idea when I wrote this. But it was a looooooong time ago.

And, you might already know this, but I majorly stank at spelling when I was younger, and still kinda stink now. But whatever, lol.

And..here is my story. I'm not going to alter the spelling....it adds major...effect. And...character to..the story.

Feel free to laugh heartly. I did...when I read it again.

*shuts up before it becomes too overly long*

Now, my story :-)

(There isn't any quotation marks either...but it's not so hard to tell if someone is talking or not, lol)

Is this plase not heavley?! asked angie to her twin sister Angle. well...it is saposted to be. because we are angles!!! said angle. Oh right!!! I forgot!! Oh shure!!! Angel giggled. she knw that angie was trying to mack her giggle. Angle was sad because her pet clo(u)d had just died last night. Thank you angie. you are a great sister, a Twin sister infact. angle tuck angie's arm(e) and went to go swim in the cloud pool. Angie went to go get her swimming suite. and so did angle. They put their swim sutes on and went to the pool. This is going to be lots and lots of fun! said angie. I have not bein to the cloud pool in a loug Time. Well I have. said Angle. I went this morning while you were still asleep. Well it was good that I did not go swimming in the morning. I would have fanted because it would be so very cold! But hopely it will not be cold! Hopely it will be hot!! Well it was not cold when I got in this morning. in fact it was stort of hot. It was very nice. said Angle as she said that they came to the cloud pool. And there were their two best friends!!!! One was for Angle and her name was Clodiea (Not part of the story: No, I'm not kidding. Clodiea....Claudia, I'm pretty sure.). And the friend of angie. her name was Ariey. They went there seprtet ways to go and play with there friends. They waved good-bye to there best friends and went home. After a few hours.....

The end

I think my favorite word...was "hopely" That's actually pretty cute...if I say so myself.

And "there best friends" names....um. Clodiea, and Ariey. Claudia and maybe Airy. It might have been Ariel...cause I used to love that name.

Also, I liked how I never capitilzed Angie's name...but always Angle's. No, her name is not supposed to be "angle" it's "angel". Just so you have that straight.

And also the many many exclamation points. That's pretty funny...

I never finished any of my stories...(hence the cliff hanger...."After a few hours...." lol. VERY suspencefull.) But it would always be like....when we'd read them aloud, and not have the whole thing done...we'd be like...

"Next week, or sometime during the week, I'll finish the next chapter (or whatever) and so I can read it to you guys next week, OK!?!?!?!?"

We were very extcited writers...if you couldn't tell. (I'm still excited about life in general, maybe not writing, and shall always be) I have others...but I'm not sure where they are. But, if I find them...and think that they're not *TOO* embarrassing...I'll post them, lol.

Anyway...that's....yeah.

PHANTOM. IT'S TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See. I told you. I'm excited :-)

Beg Pardon, beg pardon....

I finish the Diva Tunic...don't even post about it...get a new project...still don't post. And now...I only have the sleeves (which are hardly anything) to do..and then I'll be done. Oh, and the little fancy rim around the neckline and arm holes.

I am very bad.

I feel like Mr. Collins..."Oh, my dear madam! I'm so terribly sorry!" ....

Except in this case...it wouldn't really be "madam"...it'd be more like..."friends" or something.

So yes. Down there...is the new project. It is called....Satine. Goooo figure on the name. It's from my "French Girl Knits" book. Same book I got the Veronique...that pink thing I made...with the beads on the cast-off edge? I LOVE THIS BOOK. Though, some patterns are rather tricky to A) decipher what the person is trying to say, and B) the pattern itself.

I have been asked this at least twice. No, the arm thingers are *not* part of Satine. And No, I shant be making them. There, got that out of the way.





Noooow. For the Yarrrrrrn. This is the main color. (in knitting lingo, that would be MC. Meaning, *drum roll please* "Main Color" Brilliant.)


Then, the other color, that shall be the little scoopy things around the neckline and arm holes...Actually....*looks at picture* Scratch that. It's just around the neckline. This, is crochetted. Which...I have never done before. Learn something new every day :-D (In knitting lingo, this would be CC. Oooor. Can anyone guess? Contrasting Color.)



And that's it....

For now.

Until...

tomorrow..

hopefully. Heeeeh.

*copies Bre*

Got this from Bre's blog...and yeah :-D I felt in need of a new blog post (which I was anyway...feeling or no feeling...it was needed.) and these seemed an opportune moment.

Now for the final question:

If you could be anyone else for a whole week besides yourself (whether it be from real life, a book, a movie, or whatever else), who would you be?

That's...a good question. Anne Shirley? I've always wanted to be her. For some reason. Stargirl would be awesome as well. *re reads the question* Ooooh, or "whatever else" I'd like to be...a star. No, a cloud. Wouldn't it be fun to like...hold all that rain...then drop it down on earth? See earth from above? But then...clouds aren't alive..and they don't have eyes. So that's fail. That's an interesting question though. I'm not really sure.


MY SUMMER IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN. I can't wait for 2 weeks. It's just not possible for me. All in favor of this statement say AYE.

WHE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ballet Rocks My Feeties.

Sorry about that...I wanted to post some videos that are just...yeah. Got to YouTube, decided that it might be better if I found the link through my history...opened that up, and got really bad lag. Oh well.

Ok, so I'm obsessed with watching these people (like knitting). They're from California (lol, you know this Sam.) They are the most amazing people I've ever seen in the whole world. I think.

Ok, first video. This girl, Alyssa Springer? I think...I know her name is Alyssa. Is one of my favorites out of the whole company.

You know how like...when you see something done really well, you suddenly have the urge to and learn whatever you were watching and be able to do it like that person? The feeling is very invigorating. Hmmmhm.

So yeah. I wanna be like them. Alyssa. Elan. Lizzy. Sara. Just to name a few of the dancers in the company :-)

Accctually. One major cool thing, Aria, older sister of Elan, who's parents are the artistic directors of the Anaheim Ballet Company, she transferred to the Houston Ballet Company, and I saw her in the Nutcracker....last year! No major parts or anything, just part of the Corps. So, Flower, Snowflake, that kinda thing. But anyway, I thought it was pretty cool...see this girl in all these podcast...thingers on YouTube, then get to see her dance live. She's sooooo awesome.

Wouldn't it be awesome to do an intensive there? OOOOOOH my word. yes. It'd be epic fail on my part, since I'm no where near what they can do, but at least I could say I tried :-D

2nd video. It...doesn't have words. It's just...all that amazing talent, so much passion about dance, hard work, etc, etc....it's just yeah.

People seem to assume that they can do what dancers do...when they see it. Farness from the truth. Anyway. Think about it. It's much harder than it looks, lol. Speaking from experience.

Enjoyed?

P.S. Andy Roddick SOOOO should have won Wimbledon. Roger what's-his-name already won it 15 other times...ugh. Evilness.
