General chit chat

There is so much talk about how tired people are.

HA! I had the best sleep today ever since new years'! Ha-ha!

I slept like 5 hours and had really weird dreams but still!

Yay, finished knitting my first mitten. Finally. Now just to make the second one of the pair. ^^

I had an awesome day!And jet there is half a day to do stuff. So happy!

I don't see what jet engines have to do with this, but sure... xD

Got myself a training place secured! Now I can just continue on making delicious sanwiches and salads. ^^

So busy week! Haven't gotten much anything else but school stuff done. Very tiring as well.. Probably going to answer most of my games tomorrow at work~

If you guys want you could spread the word about Lux online etc.~

I'll try to answer to my games today real quick! Sorry I've been a bit inactive, but out internet keeps crashing for some reason and rebooting hasn't always helped. Tech support is incoming, so I should eb able to resume normal speed (min.1 reply/week, though probably a lot more than that).

Yay I got some answers in! At work hosting karaoke as usual~

Did a commission schedule today. I guess I'm trying to be more "professional" lol. Basically trying to get things done~

Commissions, commissions, commissions. So many things to do. Just got to productive and not worry about too many things. Just... let it all flow into images.

Anyway, how's everyone doing?

Knitting has to be one of the best hobbies ever~ I haven't done it in a while cause of hectic stuff but I did recently take up sewing. :3

Yeah, it is.
Specially if you're making three-finger mittens for yourself.

I don't think I could handle wearing mittens like that, my hands would feel so weird. o.o

I love mittens like that. I used to have ones years ago, and now I decided to make another pair.

Eltharrion, please make me wool socks, pleasepleaseplease. I love tham to bits but I just can't seem to understand knitting... -__-

The last project I worked on was only 2 weeks ago and it was a pair of flat bunnies. I got bored waiting around for my fiance to get off work and just knit myself the little cuties.

I'm a leftie and no one ever knew/bothered to teach me when I was a kid and it war required in school. Darnit. -___-

So now I can... but it's slow and painful -__-

Dude, no way. It was required for you in school? I WISH my school had that as a requirement. XD

Yeah, it's a sexist thing. In about every finnish school, girls have to study handyworks like knitting and using a sewing machine, while guys have to learn how to make woodworks. Personally I'd wanted to learn how to sew, but they didn't let me.

And MB, for the record I'm a lefty as well and I learned knitting in... 20 minutes?
It's so nice when you have a relative who teaches handyworks as a techer.

Aww, that takes some of the fun out of it. I took a wood shop class back in 8th grade though, plus used wood working in a huge art project in my last year of high school.

Yeah, they teach you wood/handyworks as required subject from 3rd to 6th grade (9-12 years old), and in some places you can continue to study it as an optional through 7th to 9th grade.

We were going to do some really nice settings for the act of our final course of theatre works, but our budget was zero and school had no extra wood... Plus our teacher kinda forbid us due to fact that there was no place where to store the settings.

We got to choose in between knitting/sowing/etc and woodworks (I chose knitting because... well, I get jurt by sharp objects real easily) - and nowadays there's an equal amount of each for littler children. By brother's 10 and they have this system... not sure about further classes, though. I guess I'll figure it out when he gets older!

My grandpa tried to teach me once but out personalities don't mesh really well and he lives quite far away so that was that for my studies...

That's a shame, we had a lot of issues like that in our arts department and had to use a lot of left over stuff that had been kept by our art teachers over the years. It was a really neat project though, we had to take a moving trailer and give the inside of it some sort of theme. We ended up going with what we called "It's a Dog Eat Art World" and made the pod look like the inside of a dog's mouth and filled it with toys and artwork we'd done.

Oh, trust me, my old school has like three storage rooms full of clothes and whatnot like that to be used on stage. They even have actual (dulled) rapiers that some guys donated to them few years back, some old war-time jackets, real cougar pelt and pogo sticks.

First day at work, and my superior/boss likes me working there. Yay. ^^

Dang, a real cougar pelt? I feel the need to have one but I'd have almost no use for it. >.>

Well, it's really old and worn out. But people still use it for acting.

...And now I can't get the "you spin me rightround baby" from repeating in my head...
