About HappyGoth
By day, I'm a graphic designer. By night, I'm a knitter. I'm doing my part to keep Hotlanta stylish.
I imagine that if you don't already understand the title of the blog, you're probably confused and perhaps slightly annoyed, but never fear - I do have a reason (and it's a good one). Having gone to hear Stephanie Pearl McPhee, and then having been inspired to blog about knitting, I found myself wondering what to call the blog. I recalled a conversation I had with Mouse and the Chicken Goddess about why it is a Bad Idea to anger knitters - this conversation was following SPM, aka the Yarn Harlot telling the assembled throng about Those Who Do Not Understand Knitting and Therefore Belittle It Much to the Chagrin of Others, or TWDNUKTBMCO, which is not the acronym she used but is the one I'm using because I forgot hers - that is, we are numerous and we all have very pointy sticks, easily transforming into an angry mob.
Therefore, knitters = angry mob.
I knew it! I just knew it! HA! I’ve got your furry little butts now! And you guys really are plotting too, aren’t you? All that kerfaffle in the middle of the night with the big boom and everyone looking so innocent. You think you have your father fooled, well, he’s seen the video too and now the game is over. We have you caught in the act. So now this is how it’s going to be. Sunday afternoon we’re going to have a nice little talk about your responsibilities around the house. You can sleep all day, fine, but when I get up in the morning, I want to see some chores done! Your father is writing up the rota as I type this. I don’t want one little mrrrrrf out of any of you, you’re lucky we’re not calculating back rent on the sofa, the bed, the table, the kitchen counter etc. Not to mention the cost of your food and litter. And paws off the damn remote from now on.
*ROFLMAO* That totally explains so much as my house!
