What's made your day?

I FINALLY WON AT THIS GAME!!!1
I feel so accomplished.

[JethroAranas]

I've just enrolled my self. Haha, take that, MOM!

[Corpsey]

Hahahaha the picture on the back of that is fantastic, if anyone gets the reference from it. ^_^

[Saya]

Yeah, and it doesn't look too hard to knit, just three basic colours and its supposed to look blocky.

I absolutely love the scarves you posted in the DIY thread. I'm fortunate enough to live in a town where it's pretty damn cold in the winter, so I have a market, should I decide to sell a few. Hard to make scarves as presents for my family that lives in Arizona, though. I'm addicted to Lion Brand and Red Heart yarns, which do you use? Just curious. Homespun and Hometown USA yarns are good for making quick scarves. . .

Also, back on topic, today I got a package from my cousin. First time a cousin's seemed to remember my birthday. And she gave me some purple eyeshadow, purple nail polish, and a copy of The Woman in White, since we've been talking about literature. I finally found the sunshine yellow that I've been looking for (so now I can make my black-and-rainbow stripey scarf!), I'm just about done with the black and purple scarf I'm working on now, and Mom and I are making a rainbow cake tomorrow.

And I discovered water marbles. Oh god, water marbles. Most awesome decorational thing ever. Seriously. They're only three bucks a pack. Get them. Now. Right now. All of you. Glass vase and water marbles. NOW.

. . . I have the mind of a child sometimes. Yeeheehee.

Seeing all my brothers at once. I can't remember the last time we all got together.

It's been an awesome weekend - managed to see pretty much all the people I love. Plus friends night on friday night turned into a Johnny Cash singalong, at which my girlfriend and I kicked ass with I'm Going to Jackson. I love having a bunch of pretentious exhibitionists for buddies.

I like Red Heart Softee because its cheap, and like the name, very soft! I also like Bernat, its acrylic but feels nice. I hate the regular Red Hart, its so scratchy. When I can spend money though I like to get bamboo or cotton, I don't really have a favourite brand when it comes to that, I just go with whats more affordable. I think the only thing Lion Brand I used so far is the fun fur, which is great but it gets so tangly, I spent most of my time untangling the yarn than I did knitting the scarf I was making. If you can get it I would really recommend Stitch N Bitch, it has a few good scarf patterns in it including a fuzzy scarf that was a big hit with relatives for Christmas (well you don't really need the pattern, its just black worsted yarn and fun fur knitted together as one strand on size 15 needles), but its a fun book anyway and motivated me to learn different techniques.

I love my roommate to pieces, but she told me today she's leaving for a few days ^_^ I love having the house to myself. I hope that when she graduates and moves away I'll be able to get my own place.

[Man In Room 5]

I just got back from the record shop where I found a used copy of one of those old Cleopatra gothic compilation CDs and it still had the Cleopatra sticker inside. Somebody resisted the urge to use it for 8 years. Now I'm wondering what I can do with it.

[Kalitrima]

Oh man, try Lion Brand more often. Homespun is amazing, but recently I've fallen in love with Hometown USA. I finished a scarf, but I have yet to weave all the ends back in. When I do, though, I'll post the picture. I end up using regular Red Heart yarn whenever I want to make a fun stripey scarf. I can get a ball of it bigger than my head for six bucks. And right now, I have an entire chest full of yarn (that won't close) that my grandmother left me. Most of it's in pale rosy colors and other stuff I can't see people wanting. My solution? Stripe it with black. Hah~

Er, there's a better place to be talking about this, isn't there? I feel like an idiot for saying it, but I haven't figured out the PM system here yet. Not like others I've seen. Well, back on topic, what made my day? Selling my first scarf. Granted, it was to my uncle, but it was a scarf in the Oregon Duck colors, and Uncle Jim attends a lot of games. I'm sure at least one person will one day ask him where he got it. . . And the more scarves I sell, the more gifts I can get for family for birthdays/holidays~

[Saya]

You have to have so many posts before you can PM, I can't remember how many...maybe 100? Anyway, I'm gonna go make a knitting thread in fashion.

[Ben Lahnger]

What's made my day? Well, moving does have it's compensations ... like the fact that you find things you forgot you have.

I found a book I bought years ago when the random acts of kindness fad first hit. It's titled "Deliberate Acts of Needless Meanness" and it's hilarious. Here's a couple of examples:

Day 125 - Enimen

Simply pop out the "m" and "n" keys on someone's keyboard and transpose them. Then just sit back and watch your coworker go purple with rage as they try write a memo.

Day 165 - The Devil Made Me Do It

New neighbors just moved in? Invite them over for a welcome drink. Before they arrive, light hundreds of candles and draw a giant chalk pentagram on the floor. When the doorbell rings, greet them in robes and hand them goblets of a suspicious red liquid. (Be wary if they don't run away immediately. They might actually be Satanists.)

Day 244 - Dada Halloween

On Halloween, when the doorbell rings, open it and say, "Trick or Treat." The trick or treaters will be confused and answer back, "Trick or Treat," at which point you say, "Trick or Treat" again. They'll probably say it again. Then you say, "Trick or Treat" again. Don't say anything but "Trick or Treat." You can keep this up all night.

Yep, that's my kind of funny!

This would really only work if your place of employment hires fourth graders who don't yet type by muscle memory.

That will just create the appearance that you're retarded, and inspire kids to laughter or mild discomfiture at best. The "one for you... one for you... aaaaand, forget it, fatty, I'm doing you a favor" approach is leagues better.

Fuck, I should have written this book. What the hell credentials does this author have? I'd bet he isn't even actually mean.

[Corpsey]

New NTAS & TFS DBZAS episodes coming out on the same day. Ultimate distraction for someone trying to complete an assignment.
