people = idiots

I just love the stupidity and ignorance of people. No really. I do. And yes, I am being sarcastic. I don't care right now.

Honestly. I am so fed up with people it's not funny anymore. People who argue that others listen to REASON (hahaha) and that REASON is the way to prove one's point, yet don't listen to the same REASON themselves!

And yes, I am intent on moving out of this Balrog-infested (only subsitute for something less appropriate...) dormitory as soon as I can. Especially since people DON'T respect REASON around here... and nor do they respect the fact that some of us actually do get up at a reasonable hour.

Maybe I will go kill off one of my fictional characters right now. Just for the fun of it. And because I'm pissed off.

I am procrastinating on whatever I need to do, which isn't much right now. Except for working on a few hats (which are going slowly) and eventually finishing up the rest of chapter five of Snapshots.

I also really want to run through the halls screeching right now because that's what other people were doing past midnight last night (or rather, this morning). But I'm too nice. I'm always too nice. Kind of like Aislynn. Though it's amazing that other than that, I'm more like Sharpe or Michael in personality. I'd say Michael's nice...

I'm starting to really hate people...

I really want to move out of the dormitory I'm living in. Right now, if possible. Because I am so sick of my neighbors (and my lovely RA) that it's starting to get ridiculous.

And no, this isn't just me complaining about people. It's me complaining that I was sitting in the room and the RA knocked and then opened the door WITHOUT WAITING FOR AN ANSWER!!!!!!! And that my next-door neighbors like to bang on the walls at really odd hours. Really, people. What I wouldn't give to have that clarinet playing girl back instead of these people! At least the noise she was making was pleasant!

I just wish people had a little more respect for privacy around here. And I can't exactly rant about this on facebook because I don't want everyone seeing it (not that this is exactly private, but not everyone at my school knows I'm here).

Maybe I should just take out my frustration on one of my fictional characters. Though the next time I do that, one of them is going to wind up dead. Permanently. Not like Ackerman who winds up dead in the alternate universe.

Veritas Fair Isle Bag

I put up a knitting blog, specifically for knitting-related posts and stuff. This includes patterns, pictures and cool knitting links (once I get around to it). But I uploaded my first things to the site today, including a few pictures of finished objects and the rough draft of the pattern for the amigurumi squid I'm making. I know what his name is going to be now. ^_^

But this place will still be for random musings that are connected to knitting, like the fact that I'm WORKING ON A NEW BAG DESIGN!!! I've actually finished designing it and now I'm just test knitting one to see if it works. If it does work, I may either keep it for myself (yeah, I know I'm selfish!) or I may give it away as a gift.

And that was because my sister took the bag I made her for Christmas to school and she said that lots of people wanted one. Well, I'm not making large Fair Isle bags for people without a good reason to do that, so I'm using the pattern I had for hers as an inspiration to create my own... one that's a little bit smaller and won't take me quite as long to make.

And thus the Veritas Fair Isle bag was born. Okay, not literally... the idea came to mind when I was thinking about what to design for the shield motif and I was looking through pictures I had. One of the first things that came to mind (other than one of the hazard symbols, which would be totally awesome, but out of place here) was the Chinese symbol for truth. Not only does it look cool, but it's one of the simpler characters that would fit the shape of the shield well.

For those of you who don't know, I took Latin and veritas is Latin for truth. (It's also where one of my fictional character's surnames comes from.) So yeah... it's a Fair Isle bag. I'm about a third of the way done with the knitting part, so that should be cool. Hopefully it actually works.
