HSKS HPKCHC

Oh how wonderful it is to be back with my wizarding family since my departure for my muggle studies. Hopefully, my studies in Telecommunication (the boxes that moving pictures and voices often occupy and entertain Muggles [TV and Radio]) and Mass Communication (Telephones, Books, Newspapers...and a new thing called the Internet) will be very helpful in thinking of ways to enchant said objects for my evil educational experiments. Mass Brainwashing, perhaps.......



SLITHER ON, SLYTHERIN!!!

Oh the Plights of a College Student

1. I hate community laundry. Please, for the love of God, take your shit out of the dryer so other people can use it! Your comforter is UGLY anyway!!!!!
2. My bike is broken.....broke it putting the tire on....
3. The cafe isn't open on Sunday, so I actually have to use my own money to eat. Meal Plan my ass.
4. I'M ABOUT TO RIP SOMEONE A NEW ONE IF THEY DON'T COME GET THEIR DAMN COMFORTER!!!!!!!!!!!

so how are you guys? :D

I like to cuddle...

...and I need someone to cuddle with....... :(

Hello, University of Alabama

I am finally moved into my dorm at UA! I have no roommate, so I guess I'm happy about that. AND the girl down the hall wants me to teach her to knit!!! And there's a guy outside my building making gorilla noises......I am so far from everyone I know on campus. Except taylor, who figured out where I was after this Facebook conversation:

Taylor: hey girl!

Jordan: you moved in yet?

Taylor: yeah, just finished. where are you staying?

Jordan: burke west.

Taylor: no way! what room?

Jordan: 443

taylor has signed off

Then she showed up at my door. She's 2 doors down. and I had no idea! I went to a couple of parties yesterday and realized that I don't like parties. I'm such a homebody. I'm excited for classes to start on wednesday. But, I'm worried I won't be able to find where my dance class is. :O

Here's my room:

Now, the only thing missing is the post from Clara! :D

Progress is slow....and takes FOREVER

Mmkay. So, I've finally finished all of the hand-made items for HSKS. I know it's only 2 things. But for some reason, in my mind, I think it takes FOREVER to do anything. That's why I hate doing laundry.....or straightening my hair.....or editing papers.....or......oh you get the picture.

I would love to show pictures of what I've finished, but I can't do that until HSKS summer camp is over.

But, for right now, I'm tired and am going to sleep.....if I could only knit in my sleep........colorwork would be hell....

Happy Sunday everyone!

Well, today is the beginning of a lot of things. 1. Exploding Snap and Ancient Ruins 2. August 3. the countdown to move-in

I hope everyone is doing well. I know the kit descriptions in HSKS said 1 small handmade item, but I got carried away. I love making things (and learning new things) too much.

Anywho, I'm going to get back to knitting and watch Torchwood.

Vacation in a Box

Over the past month, I have been participating in Knit n Tune's Vacation in a Box Swap. I thought it was a good idea; the women in the group also thought so (check us out on Ravelry). I just received my ViB in the post today. :D Here is what Lisa sent to me:

Okay, you must understand that when I get mixed CDs (which is the only mandatory component of our swaps), I tend to go a little berserk because I LOVE MUSIC! And when people have the same tastes in music as me, or introduce me to new kinds of music, my happy dances get a little out of hand. Good thing my mother wasn't here when I got this. She would have looked at me like she did last swap and then proceeded to ask "What is wrong with you, child?"

Yes, my mother still calls me a child. Which fits because when I found the box of crayons in my ViB, a very large smile spread across my face. The Hawiian Punch and the journal just make that smile bigger. You will also notice a tote bag (I can never have enough totes!), nail polish (what girl doesn't love nail polish!?!), a washcloth with an octopus on it :D, size 1 dpns, Sugar n Cream yarn (I can never get enough), and LOTS of starburst. I am very content with this. Very Very Very content. Oh hell, I LOVE THIS! I LOVE SWAPS! yes, I am addicted.
