Day 21: What Makes You Sad

Ignorant people who wish to remain ignorant. (It’s okay if you don’t know something, but the desire to STAY that way annoys me.)

People who like to make your day worse, intentionally… just because they can. Misery loves company.

People who do not value the lives of others.

People who mistreat animals. (<– Now I must preface this by saying that I AM a meat eater. I love meat. And yes- I know how it is processed. I’ve been to several processing plants. Hasn’t even put a dent in my love for meat. But I don’t agree with intentionally harming an animal, just because you can. That’s not cool. And that’s not the same as hunting animals, as long as you use what you kill.)

Day 20: What Makes You Happy

This one can go in sooo many directions.

My husband… my cat… good food… being alive… having my dad with me…

Knitting doesn’t actually make me happy- it makes me content. Now- seeing people’s faces when they love something I made for them? THAT makes me happy.

Rainbow-y Awesomeness

Let me introduce you to the awesome:

This bit of rainbow-y awesomeness is a cowl that I finished yesterday. It just needs needs buttons. I HAVE buttons- pretty turquoise buttons; but silly me- I forgot to bring a sewing needle. So the buttons will have to wait till I get home.

It’s going to be winging it’s way to France at the end of the week, and normally I like to keep these things secret, but it’s SOOOO awesome that I had to share!!!

It’s ravelled here, if you want to take a look at the original pattern (called Antilles) that inspired it.

Day 18: A Photograph of Yourself

This picture is a few years old, but it is one of the most recent pictures of me. I don’t really like to have my picture taken, but I will concede the point every few years. I’m just not one of those people who have to take pictures every 30 seconds. I can use that time for knitting. 🙂

Day 17: Your Favorite Blogs

I read a lot of blogs daily. Basically the bunch of crazy souls on WordPress who are as crazy as I am. But outside of that lovely crazy bunch- there are a two blogs I frequent, and one web comic. (NONE of which are safe for work btw…)

1. The Bloggess

2. Hyperbole And A Half
Allie is going through a bit if depression and hasn’t posted in awhile, but her older posts are great (and still relevant), and I am one of the people who faithfully await her return to the blogging universe.

And the webcomic: Questionable Content

 

I think it says a lot that my favorite blogs/comics are by broken people.

Day 14: 3 Healthy Habits

1. I read. Every day, Even if it’s only a paragraph or two- exercising your mind is important. Nowadays- most people only read what’s on a gossip site. Now THAT’S not healthy.

Day 12: Your Favorite Childhood Book

This is a hard one. It’s also a little ambiguous. Is it my favorite book I read before I reached my teens, or my favorite child’s book (as in simple story that kids can read and enjoy)? Because- I’ve been reading pretty much EVERYTHING since I learned to read and my dad signed me up for a library card. I first read Jurassic Park when I was… maybe 10 years old. I was very much into Thrillers and Mysteries, so books by authors like Dean R. Koontz were ALWAYS in my stack of books to checkout. I’m going to assume it means my favorite CHILD’S BOOK. That doesn’t make it any easier, but it does rule out Michael Crichton and Dean R. Koontz.
