Bits and bobs

Why does the LJ Comment Statistics thing never work for me? It's annoying.

I posted a comment in mesniu's LJ about the "Tell me what you love about me" meme and I thought I'd mention it here. Things like that make me terribly uncomfortable. I worry that I come off looking like a snob, but I Do Not Like asking people what they think of me, or to ask questions of me. I would hope that if they want me to know, they'll tell me. And if they want to know, they'll ask. So nobody be hurt when I fail to respond to the five questions meme, or something similar. It's not that I'm not interested in you, or don't like you. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing all the gushing responses on my friends pages. I know--I'm a cold, unsentimental bitch. It's not you, OK? It's me.

Tomorrow I'm off to spend a few days over Thanksgiving with the fabulous parents and two of my mom's siblings and their families. I really need to dig out some knitting to take with. Wish I had a pattern for something I wanted to make that wouldn't take too much concentration. I'm sick to tears of scarves. I need to make some shawls for a couple of the whores, but for those I need my giant size 13 needles and I don't feel like wrestling with those on the plane. Hmmm. Ponder, ponder.

I've been breaking it up into groups of threes's or four's as I have trouble being quite that squishy for too very long.

However, I beg to differ with you. If you want the world to believe that, feel free, but some of us know you better. You're far too complex a feeling human to be described in such a fashion.

I think the entire thing has been a very interesting exercise. With the semi-anonymity one feels behind a keyboard, I think people are putting things in writing they might never say to someone's face...and I think it's good for people to have an excuse to express those thoughts, just as it is a very interesting exercise to have to read those comments.

It goes against everything we are trained to be/do under current social custom. That part of it I like alot.

Hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving holiday.

If you'd like to try my fingerless gloves pattern, it's very simple and quick.
I can burn off a copy at home.

Oooh. Yes. Yes. Can you get it to me tonight somehow so if I need to, I can purchase needles tomorrow?

[redheadfae.livejournal.com]

sure, you can drop by if you like. I'll be trying not to work late tonight, but if not, I'll be off tomorrow. It takes size 5 and 7, I think, but don't quote me.

I have dance class tonight from 6:30 to 8:30 (oof, we're working on troupe stuff in addition to class). If I'm not too beat after that, I'll call you and maybe swing by. I might scout around for online patterns today, too.

some people do some memes and not others, some don't do any. I figure it is a matter of personal prefernces.
