How do hot dogs survive in the wild without eyes?

About Me

All right, everyone. I'm going to generally re-do my profile. For those of you who know me, most of this will not be shocking. For everyone else, ha ha, look at what you got yourself into!! I'm a crafty kind of person. Since taking up the knitting needle, I have become obsessed with knitting and all things yarn. Crochet did not inspire me the way that knitting does. Or maybe it's just my relatively new, inherited stash of yarn, needles, hooks, and a high-speed internet connection that did it. Yarn sales are fabulous, vintage patterns really get me going, and anything with skulls on it is generally going to be worth my time. I have finished a few projects, and will try to post pics of all the ones I finish. If you want to commission a work from me, you're more than welcome to send me a message. But mind you, I still have a metric crap ton of projects left to complete. However, only a few are important enough to make you wait.

My Interests

Knitting, crochet, reading, cooking, baking. Watching a bit of tv. Anything else that takes my fancy.

I'd like to meet:

NOT STUPID PEOPLE.

Music:

Not that big of a music person.

Movies:

I don't really get out all that much.

Television:

"Gilmore Girls", "Veronica Mars", "Good Eats", "Family Guy", "American Dad", whatever looks interesting.

Books:

Favorite book of all time... "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaimon

Heroes:

My mom. Myself. Captain Jack Sparrow. Jeff, my husband.
