RE: "Get to know each other" in the GGO group
I had the biggest crush on the fastest knitter in my third grade class. She was so hot. They taught us knitting in school! Weird, huh?

Did you enjoy Las VEgas??

I went outside today and regretted wearing a jacket! Hopefully it won't snow tomorrow. Heh.

See you tonight.

Hmmm... I like the orange one. That's funny that you prefer knitting with small needles, the gf prefers them big! (Wait, that came out wrong... )

Yup, we'll be there. I can show you the ribbed scarf I started.

glad you had a great time!

I stayed at Circus my first time in Vegas
I don't think I've been to the Trop but can't imagine anything worse.
I'll take your word tho.
Glad you had fun
Can't wait for pics...

A Star Trek wedding would fucking rock - I wanna get married by Captain Picard. I can't believe you found something you like more than knitting!

thanks much for your kind words, and i wish your mom & your family the best as well. it's even more surreal after it happens, which seems right. hope Vegas treated you well, i've had lots of fun there.

my older sister and her two kids live in Cherry Hill, so i have a little philly-area connection now. we grew up in the NYC 'burbs, and my sis has been in the philly area for about 20 years (and my older brother went to U Penn Med school). i like philly, it's not phony at all.

From the department of better late than never:

HAPPY Vegasday! Have fun and a safe trip back.

Man, everyone I know is heading to vegas. My manager last week, you, a coworker next week and a friend in the near future. What? Is it fun out there or something?

Your entry has all the signs of someone who's procrastinating packing.

Have fun in Las Vegas and at the Maryland Sheet and Wool Festival! I have to ask, does that entail cutting the wool off of the sheep and then knitting something out of it?

My offer still stands to have an X-men day and haul over a bunch of TPBs and back issues for you to get caught up

If you decide to go out and buy some TPBs on your own, I highly suggest Grant morrison's run on "New X-Men". The first book, "E is for Extintction" got me back into buying individual comic issues after 10 years. It is nothing short of amazing. After that run I would suggest picking up Joss Whedon's (yes, that Joss Whedon) run on "Astonishing X-Men" only 7 issues deep so far but it's really, really good stuff. The only other X book I read is "Ultimate X-men" which works sorta like the "X-Men: Evolution" cartoon. It is a total retelling of the X-Men story, if thier origin was in 2000 as opposed to 1964. Always well-written. Hope this helps some

Just name a day and I'll be there, X-books and tapes of the 90's cartoon in tow And I'm replaying through X-Men Legends with my brother now. I'm letting him use all the people I used on my first play through (Cyke, Wolvie, Iceman, etc) and I'm getting to use the people I neglected before. When you get them both leveled up pretty high, Jubilee and Gambit are insanely powerful Especially since I found out how to charge inanimate objects in the environment and make them explode

Morrison's run was about 2 or 3 years long, and in that time he turned the entire X-Universe on it's head. Hell, he got rid of the spandex! I was a litte upset when Whedon put them back in the spandex, but with his take on the book it makes sence. Plus he put Shadowcat back on the team so that makes up for it too

Skulls. Go with the skulls for the pillow cases. I just love your style! I'd love to have bed linens with say, machetes on them.

You know what the worst part about winter is? When your jeans get wet at the bottom and the water seeps so high that it makes your socks wet and then your legs and your jeans have mud on them and you just washed them but now you'll have to again and wearing jeans the first time out of the wash is all starchy and stiff, not nearly as comfortable as second day and after stuff.

love you!

Hey Aponia! the network doesn't have a final title yet, last I heard, but it's a crafty show, as you might suspect. Idol, eh?

You're making pillowcases with skulls? Ooooh, I need some of those, they'd drive my boyfriend's mom crazy!

8-12 inches of snow only suck horribly when you get it the day before you are supposed to put all of your posessions in a van and move

Completely oblivious to the amount of snow that we're getting, I went to the super market to get food before just because I have none around and like to eat.

There was this able bodied couple at the register next to me buying an awful lot of canned food. Enough to were you'd say to yourself "... that's a lot of cans." Makes you wonder if they were stock piling for the snow that'll probably melt by the weeks end?
