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.

Whee. Yay for non-consistent blog updating. Or something. Anyway. Life is huge right now, and I’m sort of unmotivated (trust me, you’ve fared better than LJ, which has heard me whine pretty consistently lately). But I did stuff. I have: … Continue reading

Keep on hanging in there

So. No new stuff lately, except for the following, summed up very well by Jennie, who went through this a while before me: Yep. That pretty much sums it up. Well, all except for my surprise when I saw that … Continue reading

Megacon

Was in March, but I am in the process of Life Things so I haven’t done anything interesting lately, which leads me to posting photos that sum up what the experience of Megacon was really like: And finally, Yep. Wonder … Continue reading

What I’d rather be doing

Is this: I’ve had a really awful chest cold for the past week, and have not been getting nearly enough sleep. Woody here has the right idea (Courtney‘s nephew played with the toy so much that it doesn’t work, and … Continue reading

What was up with that last match? I was so cheering for you, and then there were those two goals by Mexico and then I was kind of sad. But I’ll still cheer for you anyway. (In case you didn’t … Continue reading
