So far it is: 

Chadwick: 2

Flamboyan: 2

Pogona: 3

Apparently Pogona is going to be one of them and I’m really really leaning towards Chadwick so I’m probably going with that one, because it just looks beautiful. I can always buy Flamboyan later. :3 

Thank you all for your help. I really appreciate it!!!!

Now I just need to choose which one to start first. :o

Maybe I should have put a warning for my cut? SO SORRY!

I didn’t mean to gross anyone out or anything. 

I apologize.

I get motion sickness from playing most modern video games. It doesn't bother me as much if I watch a video of gameplay but if its over an hour. Its mainly the reason I stick to playing just DS games and my Super Nintendo.

Ugh. I wanted to answer this much earlier, but I got home last night and passed the hell out. haha

But that has to suck. :o I love video games, especially on our huge tv upstairs. I do enjoy playing Super Nintendo though. All those old games are so much better than what we have today. xD 

Let me think, something about myself now. 

Well, I just sat here for like, 30 minutes trying to think of something related, but I couldn’t think of anything, so here’s something random: My favorite place to sleep (aside from my bed) is in my bathtub. If I have a bad day, or am just not feeling well I will grab some blankets and a pillow and nest in it. I’m sad cause I’m home now and can’t really do that anymore, but once I get my own place again, I have a feeling I’ll get back into it. xD

So, suggestions?

As I knit these socks I’ve come to the conclusion that they are not going to fit me. Which is perfectly fine, I probably wouldn’t have worn them anyway and this was more of a venture into practicing a new technique than anything.

But, since they don’t fit, i’ll need to find something else to do with them. I could possibly sell them, but if I did I feel like I would have to charge an arm and a leg to make the price worth the time I put into it. I could be a freak and frame them and put them on my wall. Haha Or I could give them as a gift. Which I wouldn’t mind doing, but I feel like it would have to be to someone awesome. I was thinking about giving them to my mom because she needs a new pair of socks, but I honestly don’t want too. It’s hard for me to give her anything knitted that isn’t a washcloth these days.

Or I’d be willing to trade. If someone wanted to knit/crochet/art me something of predetermined equal value I would happily exchange the pair. :3

So, any suggestions?

I AM STILL STUCK IN THE COMPUTER LAB IN THE BASEMENT WORKING ON MY PORTFOLIO.

I have been in here since 9 am YESTERDAY! (It is currently 6:44 am). I am running on like, less than 15 hours of sleep over the past 4 days. I managed to catch an hour nap around 4 so you know, there’s that.

I’m just glad my teacher pushed back the due date of the portfolio by a day. It gives me a bit more time to get everything exactly right.

I am just so tired. I am going to be so gone on Sat and Sun. I will be doing nothing but sleeping and reading fic. Everything else will be dead to me. haha

On that note.

I am verging on manic, ask me questions. Or something. Anything. TMI Tuesday two days late?
