Has there been stuff? Yeah, there's been stuff.

Do I feel like talking about it much? Not... really. It's like that other stuff that was going on before except it's sort of worse except I'm not there for it in person. Except for the other weekend when I was.

Mostly, there's been some strain with work!stuff, part in the getting-used-to-working-from-home thing and part in the my-company-is-not-doing-the-best sort of way. And there's been adjusting to new living space and things there.

So... tired? But there are good things, like dyed yarn and video games and PEOPLE and cookies. but... tired.

Miss you all.

Is totally to ramble about TV shows (or rather, a show) you're watching.

1. I'm moved. Still settling in, still haven't entirely unpacked, but I'm moved. I live in Virginia now. This is... very very new.

2. We've named the yarn company type thing we're going for and pretty much set on 90% of our base yarns at this point.

3. ...annnd now for the babbling. ( Because guess who just saw the most recent episode of The Vampire Diaries? )

My stepmother's gone.

Not feeling it yet.

Gonna hit like a mallet between the eyes soon enough, I'm sure.

So instead, may I just say:

If you're reading this, I love you. If you're reading this, you've had an amazing impact on my life and you've made me smile at least once more than I would have otherwise. If you're reading this, you are a more fantastic, wonderful person than you can ever believe in your heart of hearts. If you're reading this, there's someone who loves you even if she doesn't say hello enough or show up enough or IM enough or even update this journal enough to really truly express that. If you're reading this, there is one more person than you might have thought who is thankful to have you in their life if only in text or a tweet or a moment's glance at a journal. And damn me if I'm going to let one more day pass without telling you.

That is all.

...yeah, this isn't so much a newsupdate. That'll come soon enough.

Right now, though, I'm trying to get rid of some yarn.

For anyone on Ravelry, the easy link is here: [HERE]

For anyone else:

( Shiny Yarns! )

If anyone's interested in like... some of the roving if you're a spinner? Lemme know and I can give you information on that.

Feel free to pass onto anyone you know who might be interested? I know the Wollmeise goes for a lot more on eBay and stuff but I'm just trying to get rid of things.

Any questions, comments below!

Thanks!

When you don't even want to put up another post because there's just MORE unpleasant CRAP that you don't feel like pouring onto other people and you're tired of posting things about the same bull but it's ruining your ability to, you know, DO STUFF and you feel people should know but you feel like you're complaining at other people and you don't want to.

That. Sucks.

Sorry there haven't been too many updates lately. My Fotolog seems to get a lot of my rambling lately, if only because I talk about my fiber adventures there and, well, that's a lot of what's been going on lately.

But I should share here!

( Cut for Pictures of Awesome Yarn )

More stuff to share, though! I've found two really interesting musicians. The first is more mainstream: Orianthi Panagris, which might look and even SOUND like pure pop at first glance but then HOLY SCHNIKIES electric guitar. And she's good. REALLY good. Give "Highly Strung" (instrumental) a listen. REALLY REALLY good. For something with actual vocals, "According to You", which was apparently on the radio last year and stuff, is also good.

Then there's Chameleon Circuit, which is a Doctor Who-themed band. And it's MUCH better than it sounds, even. Give "Awful Lot of Running" a try if you like the show at ALL.

...if you buy the album, I recommend a listen to "Journey's End" because really. Good summary ^_^

Uuuuh, nothing much else?

Poll #1554932 What Do I Spin Tonight?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11

Which one do I spin? I want to try some of the new stuff...

So lately, I haven't been RPing much at all. I also haven't been knitting. The part of my brain that started off the creative process seemed to have gone on vacation. That's kind of why I started spinning which, honestly, has been one of the most helpful things in dealing with all the crazy. It creates without much need for creativity, the touch aspect is very soothing, and the whole "able to play with rare wool types" was totally my thing. So I've been spinning and that's good.

But I missed my RP. And my RP friends which all right, never so much went away as kept going, leaving me a little lost. And I think I'm ready but oh man. The fun of figuring out what my pups have been up to. Tonight, I think, will be writing all that up. Then I'm going to ask a couple of people to look it over. And then and only then, I think, will I poke the various mods.

But I think I'm ready. I really hope so. I took a shower this morning and read a book and chilled out and took pictures of my pretty yarn... I feel good. I just kind of wish Mercury wasn't in retrograde. Silly, I know, but I'm almost tempted to wait on it.

I'll see how the muses work out tonight. And the possible new PB for Fiona. Gotta see.

Dear Real Life of Mine,

I have been a subscriber for some time. There have been some ups and downs, some bad decisions and of course good ones, but recently I've noticed a trend that has made me wonder if I should not, in fact, focus my efforts on integrating my mind entirely with the internet like some terrible anime.

That is why I'm writing in to question your choice of material of late. Previously, you were made of spaz and geek and cheese and dork and ridiculous and mildly sanity-threatening. Your switch over to 'unfiltered nitro-glycerin with a nitrous oxide chaser' has, understandably, confused and worried me. I would urge you to consider a more stable base material and would request that this decision be made post haste.

Your ever-loyal consumer,

Danii

Okay knee? I wish you *didn't* know how to quit me. Whatever Cam might shout in the heat of virtual battle, knees? Not a privilege.
