the first five times

the last few days have been really fun. and full of work and knitting and not sleeping and good food and going out and goodness. i'm so tired it's pretty ridiculous.

i've been inspired to work on my thesis but i have yet to start working on it. and i have these little nagging projects to pick up on and work work work work work to do. it's actually quite good. and the knitting has been super good. i started a's baby present (no picture until it's gifted!) and i finished the bag for kalin. she just needs to stick a lining in it. and she made me this beautiful scarf in return!


on thursday morning k. picked me up and we mosey'd south. stopping everywhere which i whined and swore about but was also enjoying. first stop: fudge.

it literally was the most fierce sugar rush ive had in a long time. we were uncontrollable.

and then last night i went and saw "wanted" the new flick with angelina jolie and that hot james mcavoy guy. guuuh. but then getting in the car afterwards i split my secretary skirt. and not even on a seam! the fabric itself split! so i sewed it up with some fabric from kalin and some lace i got in a swap and got this! (sorry, i was twirling!)


i've been sick lately and i think it's because i haven't been sticking to a good diet. and i've been eating lots of wheat and not exercising. i'm kind of having a down few weeks. which isn't very fun. i kind of just want to leave PG today but am scared to move simply because of all the work but i can't do another winter here. whatsoever. and i'm dead set on moving out of here. and i know b. has called my bluff on it. and a few others have too. so i'm really confused and emotional about it right now. i'm just so tired of being sick. and i am tired of being so busy. but i'm not sure where my work's going to go because i'm not really happy with one of my contracts. and i think that making that contract full time work might be a bad idea. i really like having a handful of contracts to play around with and work on. and maybe i'll just do that. but then, if i'm just doing contracts, why would i leave pg? other than being sick, hating the winters, and wanting GOOD vegan food out. and french bakeries with the best espresso. and weekend trips to the gulf islands and drinking slurpees with derek. (???) and being closer to kalin. luckily for some reason i get to see her every three weeks or so and it's really nice! she's so important to me and she's one of my closest friends. i just wish that i could NOT live in vancouver and still see her on a weekly basis, know what i mean?

i think i might have to get a "real" job and work for the "man". at this point i'd rather just knit.
