Because it’s friggin’ cold outside. And damn – hand-knitted socks sure are cozy. (And I previously rationalized this to myself by saying that I’m knitting because I’m cheap, only then I thought about how much I actually spend on yarn for the projects I knit, and it’s not that much cheaper! If at all! So I am really just knitting because it’s a fun thing to do, and because I feel pretty special when I tell people I made my socks myself)
And then also, because I played video games last night instead of being truly productive, here is a meme I created myself:
Ten random things
1. Magazines subscribed to – Cabinet, GOOD
2. Aside from knitting, my favorite pasttimes are – reading, painting, and writing
3. If I were not a designer (insert your own profession in place of designer), I would be – a cosmologist, provided someone could teach me the computational part first
4. I am irrationally worried about – flesh-eating bacteria
5. If I were the opposite sex – I’d still have long hair
6. The thing I miss most about childhood is – the ability to play-act un-selfconsciously
7. I like to collect – old books, vinyl figurines, old candid photographs (like from the turn of the century, and not portraits) and well-designed clothing tags
8. Though I’ve never been there, I feel inexplicably homesick for – India
9. I’ve never really liked to eat – peanuts (ew)
10. When I have nightmares, they’re usually about – zombies
Woohoo! Go at it.
