In which we get a little bit personal

[kylezy]

If you haven't been updated, the hiatus is off, my family can deal with their own crap without including me. I was gonna stay away for a few days to maintain the appearance of dignity but lol. Come on. This is me.

So, do this:

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes office supplies." I'd love it if every single person who friended me would do this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer.

Ha, NKOTB, that's cute!

I loved Lion King too! I could never watch the part when Mufasa dies though :(

I recently tried to learn to crochet, but failed miserably. Where/when/why did you learn to do it?

My mom used to crochet a lot when I was little, she tried to teach me several times when I was a kid, but I never had the attention span. Years later, when my best friend's sister was pregnant with her second kid, I got it in my head that I wanted to make her a baby blanket. My mom helped me with it a little, but it still came out a bit lopsided.

A few months later, my best friend found out she was pregnant and since I had gotten a little more experience, I decided to do a blanket that was a little more challenging... I ended up not finishing it until her son was a year old... oops.

After that, I didn't do any more crocheting for many many years. When my mom died, she had a crapload of yarn stored here in the basement. I thought of taking up crocheting again, but couldn't stay focused on it. Fast foreword a few years to 2008. When my grandpa passed away, granny had planned on selling the house so we were busy cleaning and getting rid things we never used. When we came across my moms old yarn stash, I really didn't expect to need any of it. I kept a few skeins and gave the rest to my best friend's sister (whom you will normally see me refer to as my sister whenever I mention her). Of course, this is when I would discover how peaceful crocheting could be. I found that I didn't have to think so much about all the people I'd lost in such a short span of time. Crocheting and now knitting, have become a sort of saving grace for me... or maybe a better way to put it would be that they are like Prozac to me. An, "I knit and crochet so I don't kill people," kinda thing.

It's summer and sweltering hot here now, so I haven't been able to break out the needles and hooks for a while, but I'm sure when the weather starts to cool down, I'll be back jumping back on the crafty train. Besides, my Merlin doll still needs his prat of a prince. ;-)
