I am the Greetest [sic] !!!

I finished H's scarf. It's five and a half feet of thick, warm, camouflage goodness. Since I want it to be a total surprise, I can't even let H know that I figured out the whole knitting thing. This means nobody else in his family can have a knitted gift this year since H does all of our package sending. Nor can I make myself a hat and wear it around unless there's some sort of deceptiveness involved, nor can I go out yarn shopping, because why the hell would I need more yarn if I can't knit? It's gonna require some covert ops.

On another topic, how come I never knew Bill Clinton was such a badass?
I like him more now than at any point during his reign presidency.
I was always more of an Al Gore fan then.

Congrats on the scarf. I bet H is going to be thrilled.

And yeah, wasn't Clinton cool? I never liked him when he was president. Good to see him putting Chris Wallace in his place. I wish he could have smacked the sneering son of a bitch.

There must be a rule that to be president, you have to come off as completely full of shit. Then when your term is up, you get to go back to being yourself.


Sadly, for Bush, his real self is also an ignorant prick.

Yeah, when your real self is 'drunk frat boy', there's not a lot to work with.

So I gather that H never checks your LJ ... I see no little padlocks on the posts about his yarny prezzie!

You're making me want to get a loom. My mom knits but I've never picked up the skill.

The meme looks fun ... I may do it later.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
No, H never goes to LJ. He just listens to my stories of LJ Drama second hand. ;-]

My looms are cheap and plastic, it was about $20 for four rounds and a double straight loom which you could use as a single as well. So not a big expenditure, even if it doesn't work out.

be sneaky!

You could knit H's family and yourself stuff and tell H you commissioned someone to do this for you at a great price since you supplied the yarn and stuff. OR you could say that you bartered goods (for say knitted goodeness for tarot goodness...) then BOOM on xmas day you say hahaha I knitted it all:)

LOL

It's funny, but I think I've lost my skill for lying now that mater is out of the picture. But that sounds like something I could totally pull off.

BTW, you and Ian should really try to make it to my Halloween gathering on the 21st. It'll be pretty small and comfy.

We talked about coming, then his work asked him to go to another city for the month of October. So I don't think we will make it to your party:( However, I have to come back to AnnArbor for another shot, maybe I could take you out to lunch? I'm not sure when it will be, within the next week or so. I have to call and get my apt. date again.

I would love that. There's a thing I wanted to talk to you about anyway. Let me know when you'll be in town. :-]

Re: be sneaky!

Cool.

Nothing ominous, just a tad clandestine at the moment.

Re: be sneaky!

I think it did, but I can never tell. I exaggerated my database prowess a bit, but it's not like I can't do database management, I'm just not tip top at it.

yeah, even if you only know a little, it's not like something you can't catch onto.

I totally would have to give H the scarf now.. I so have no self control with stuff like that. Not to mention if I could make hats..well I would have to wear said hats..not hide them!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2006-09-30 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Tee hee!

I actually left the hat on the dresser last night by accident. So he knows that I can knit now and he might be wondering about the mysterious disappearance of 2 skeins of camouflage yarn. ;-/

well, it is always good to keep men guessing!
