Head Injuries are scary things


Natasha Richardson dies at 45 after ski accident

Anyone who needs to ask why I think this is important needs to read the article again.  I could cry.

Real Post and brain vomit.

So, I'm awake and miserable tonight at 2am.  I was sewing on a skirt because my thumb currently goes numb every time I try to knit, so I'm giving that a rest for a day or so.  Less if I run out of sewing projects to do.  I bought fabric for a dress and, if I like the pattern, might go back and get fabric for the tunic version, but we'll find that out tomorrow.  That'll be the end of my spending money and I'll have to raid the emergency stash to keep from going insane.  Maybe, if I do a good job on my stuff, Mum will let me sew scrub tops for her. 

Cut because it's long as heck and I don't want to annoy more people than I have to... Collapse )I hope everyone's having a good weekend, and I wish I was spending mine with most of you.  I'm off to g back to sewing beige zippers in black and white skirts.  I am that desperate for something to do.  I have thought of going to walmart, but Dad would notice the door. And everyone else would probably be home by the time I got back, which would defeat the purpose of going in the first place.  Now to figure out how to sew a zipper into a skirt.  Or any garment, since it's something I haven't done before.

Talk to you all later.

Pandora.com hurts my wallet.


Need I say more.  This is actually a lyrics post.

Stand Up by Fireflight

LOOK AT ALL THE LONELY HEARTS
SHIVERING OUT IN THE DARK
HIDING FROM THE TRUTH
COVER UP THE PROOF
DEMONS THAT I’VE TRIED TO HIDE
IMPRISON ME IN MY OWN LIES
AND ALL THAT I CAN DO IS COVER UP THE PROOF
DON’T BE AFRAID TO…

STAND UP!
STAND UP IF YOU’RE BROKEN
STAND UP!
STAND UP IF YOU FEEL ASHAMED
YOU ARE NOT ALONE WHEN YOU HURT THIS WAY
STAND UP!
STAND UP IF YOU NEED LOVE
STAND UP!

THIS IS NOT JUDGMENT DAY
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HIDE
THERE’S NO NEED TO RUN
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY

SECRETS GOT ME TORN APART
TRYING TO DESTROY MY HEART
BUT I CAN SEE THE LIGHT
IT’S CUTTING THROUGH THE NIGHT
DON’T RUN AWAY
(DON’T RUN AWAY)
DON’T BE AFRAID TO…


YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME
THAT’S ALL I’LL EVER NEED
IF YOU SAY I’M GOOD ENOUGH
THAT’S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

comics

So, I haven't updated in a long time.  But I just found this comic on Ravelry and I thought I'd share.

In other news, I make socks, which is why the comic describes my life so well.

Petri

Petri is going to be mine.  Now if I could just convince him to eat more than seeds.  And that anything moving isn't hungry.

Bird

I have a bird for the weekend, possibly for permanently, depending on how the weekend goes.  Yes, that's right, I'm bird-napping my parent's budgie.  I need recipes from Emmy...

I'm home again after a fun but busy week in Vegas.  The highlight of the week was, of course, Kay's wedding, but that was closely followed by seeing everyone again and realizing that all I really miss about the city are my friends and people are movable objects.

Almost as soon as I got home, Z and I broke up.  His timing really is atrocious.  "Hi, Mira, we're not heading home just yet because there's this party I want to go to that I know you'll hate and, by the way, I'm breaking up with you because you make me hate myself."  At least he had the decency to not make me stay for the party after that.  Ironically, I don't think he needs to be beaten up for anything more than the bad timing, and let it be known I've already taken my revenge for that and won't sanction any beatings.  As it stands,  I was prepared to break up with him myself as I'm looking for a more long term commitment and he's still girl shopping.  However, if anyone feels it necessary to deliver beatings, I wouldn't mind seeing any members of the coven who care to show up.

As the job situation stands, I'm looking at being a CNA at one of the two nursing homes in Madison or the one near my parent's house in Mitchell.  Word on that as more info occurs.

That's about it for me.
