Oh yay, the new Knitty is up

Except it really sucks. There's not one thing I would actually make. And it seems there's a lot of ripping off of other people's ideas going on in this issue. The flames, a la SnB; the flowers, a la all over the place and most notably the flower washcloths in Weekend Knitting; The wraps, a la the butterfly shrug from Urban Outiftters or whichever place it was...

Just not impressed.

I am going to die of thirst. For the past couple of weeks, I have been unable to drink water. Except, if it is carbonated and fruit-flavored. Go figure. So everywhere I go I take a big bottle of this fizzy fruity water with me, but I have run out. This means I need to hurry up and take a shower so I can go get some more before I shrivel up and die.

Also, massive triumph today. I was able to GET OUT OF BED, make breakfast, and eat scrambled eggs. This hasn't happened in weeks. We are very tempted to shout from the rooftops that THE WORST IS PAST! but I know better. The second I do, I'll puke up my guts, starting with my intestines. Now just picture THAT, if you will.

We took advantage of the gorgeous weather and my seemingly improved physical condition and took a nice walk last night. It was so refreshing, and I could actually feel my blood circulating again. Dare I go so far as to say...things are looking up?

I suspect I'm going to lose a lot of people from my friends list in the next few months. Even more than usual, all my posts are of the pointless filler variety. I have no real worries or predicaments, no drama, no profound thoughts or feelings on any subject, and my focus right now is on my physical self for a change, which is just not interesting.

I'm so afraid I'm going to unconsciously go looking for trouble just to liven things up. If that happens, I'll look back on this prediction and back out of it.

It's weird, but I get annoyed listening to music lately. I'm not in any particular "place" and so none of it seems to resonate. I can't relate to anything. I seem totally unaffectable.

I've been really antisocial lately. I'm going to the knitting/craft group tonight at B&N just to make myself get out of the house and attempt to relate to other human beings. I'm pathetic though, in that I have about much to say in person as I have to write about in here. My mind is just empty these days. I won't dispute that it's very refreshing for a change, not to be tormented or confused or frustrated, but it leaves a gaping hole, since that's apparently all I know how to do.

Jake and I have been laughing a lot lately, and we find each other absolutely hilarious, but it's all so intrinsic that it would be totally stupid to anyone else. I'm afraid my sense of humour has become appealing to a painfully narrow audience. At least I still laugh at myself.

For excitement, I have declared this coming Saturday to be Spring Cleaning Day. I have a fond dream that by the end of the day, the apartment will be flooded with fresh air from actual Open Windows, and all dust and grime will be gone. I am even planning to clean under the refrigerator. Dear God.

The real problem is that we bring a ton of stuff into this place, and not enough ever leaves. So we'll do a Salvation Army run, and probably several trips to the dumpster/recycling center.

Also, it's getting to be that time of year to do inventory. Spider inventory, that is. I know there here already. I saw a nice big one on the ceiling yesterday and gave it a stern talking to. So it definitely knows that it's being watched and evaluated. If it doesn't earn its keep, it's out. Just so we're clear.

See? Fascinating post.


I'll use the spider icon for added excitement.

Apparently the weather has had a hand in my blahness and lack of productivity. Today is warm and gorgeous, and I have gotten a ton of stuff done around the house. I'm even feeling twinges of creativity. I hope this lasts through Saturday.

What I need is some flowers. A nice huge bunch of flowers prominently displayed so as to effect maximum cheerfulness.
