Ah ha!

The beeping stopped!!!! Hallelujah, praise the Lord! Granted, I never figured out what it was nor am I fully convinced that it is over. With my luck tomorrow it will start again.

On a more knitterly front, I got a package today…. yummy yarn I ordered, granted, not what I was expecting, but yummy all the same. It reminded me that I have to go to the yarn store tomorrow (aw, damn XD). I need to get the rest of my malabrigo swap person’s present. I think I have the yarn covered, but want to look into getting some notions or something. Then I have to go to a store to buy stuff to make the present pretty and fun. I love making gifts… bad thing is I spend way more time and effort than I should. I swear that I’ve stalked my person for days now… I read his or her entire blog since he or she started it. I think I’ve found a couple of ways to make the swap more personalized and meaningful, I hope. My biggest concern is that I can’t find a pattern that I necessarily think he or she will enjoy with the yarn and I have no clue what notions to buy if any. I’m utterly stupid. This person seems really cool though and I’d love to meet him or her in person some day. The blog was a great read and there were some posts where I was just like, “Holy crap you are a cool person”. *Sigh* I’m not that cool.. I’m rather boring. I can sum up my life in less than a paragraph and it would be pretty complete. (Granted, if you were to talk to me in person I could go on and on about myself and my adventures. I’m a great story teller, I have hand gestures and everything!) I haven’t done much yet either. Then again, I’m a young one so hopefully I have a while to fix that!

 I just realized that I’m about to have to grow up… I start a real job on Monday. That kind of sucks. On the bright side though, I’ll have a paycheck! Sweet!

Stupid beep

January 4, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m sitting on my bed…knitting and reading fanfiction (my guilty pleasure that I’d die without) when out of the blue this electronic beep goes off… in one minute it will happen again. It has been happening all day….every three minutes there is a beep. I can’t find the source regardless of how often I look and at first I thought it was in my head. But no, it really is there. It is just going off and slowly ripping apart my sanity. The bad thing is that one minute it will be in one section of the room and the next time it goes off it will be in another part of the room. I don’t have any moving electronics in my room so all I can think is that the beep is just there to annoy me. I made my brother sit in my room for three minutes just to listen to it (to verify I am not a complete crazy!) He was being a butt though… all he did was giggle at me the whole time and laugh at my inner dialogue that I apparently was rambling aloud. Stupid beep…
