♪: the pixies - where is my mind?

MY SOCKS, MY SOCKS ARE HERE.
Yep.
I'm almost done with one (as you can obviously see) and I have started on my second one :D I am so excited. Next week, we get to do the heel and fully finish the sock itself and, bah, excited. I'll get to wear them and make an excuse to go shoeless so I can show these puppies off.
Every fucking chance I'll have.
To work.
Book stores.
Crafty Hands (they would understand).
Home.
Car.
Friends' house.
The possibilities.
Other than that, nothing has happened.

There's this guy, Sammy, at work who is fucking hilarious.
I don't like him like I USED to like Ben who turned out to be like every OTHER guy out there - assholes. So, I was in the break room and I offered some of my Salt & Vinegar chips to him. He turned them down and asked if I had ever had pickle chips.
I make a face, "Ew no."
"They're awesome when you have the munchies - you know, if you're into that kind of stuff."
I laugh.
"It's so awesome, you can't stop," he then proceeded to scoop handfuls of air and act like he was eating said handfuls.
I laughed.
"You know, I only do that kind of stuff once to three times a year."
"Lies, I know you do it everyday."
One to three times a year from the same guy who randomly said a couple weeks back, 'My name is Sammy; I kick ass and smoke the grass.'
He laughed and pointed at me, smiled, and went back to work.
This guy is in his thirties.
No one knows I smoke at work, so, it's so funny to point out the stoners I could never get high with :( kind of. People ASS-U-ME that I'm boring because, on weekend nights, I stay home to knit and read.
Oh well.
Secrets, secrets, secrets.

I obviously snapped this while Emily was off-guard. She was aggravated and didn't understand why I thought her face was funny.
I'm the complete opposite, muahaha.
Emily, "I look bewildered."
Me, "Because you were wondering what I was doing."

Muahahahaha.
Also disregarded that rule.

Anyway.
Yesterday was OKAY, not the best. BAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. That's right, BAH is the only way I can describe all the feeling I have. Take it as you will. On the other hand, I have fantastic news!
I have finished ONE BALL of green on the devil scarf.

Sorry, it's too long to put in one picture unless someone was holding it out for me and that wasn't going to happen. TWO MORE BALLS OF GREEN and one more ball of the brown/gray color and it's OVER. IT'S DONE.
Hallelujah.

When I left class today, after three hours of knitting, I had completed my toe and am now knitting the length of my foot. On the 16th, when I return for the last class, we're finishing the heel. I CANNOT WAIT until they're finished. The yarn has its own pattern, so, it's extra adorable? I'll update when I have started to really knit at it and start my second sock alll on my own.

I caught up on this week's episode of the office and am on season two of the office UK style. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. Love the UK. Why it isn't more popular in America, I don't know. ALTHOUGH, adult swim is kick it on soon. Now? I hardly ever watch the actual telly. HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

♪: flumpool - 花になれ

Okay, everything bad that had happened today at work today is thrown out the window. Right out there, on my animal soiled lawn and the many bugs. No, today had its own 'equilibrium' and worked out just dandy.
Yes, it WORKED out just dandy.
haha ahaha ha ha.
Name that tune!

Emily, Jonny and me decided today was the we set off for Emily's parents' lake house half an hour away from SG. Welp, we did, and 30 minutes later we were at her grandmother's house, rolling it on the kitchen table, ha ha! She continuously reminded us to not make much light or noise because she didn't want to wake up the creepy man next door. Me and Jonny are cracking jokes to tease her. Like, with the joint in my mouth I would click my lighter, acting as though I was going to light it in her grandmother's house.
Hilarious times.
We were out there, on the porch, talking, staring at the fucking beautiful, gorgeous, breath-capturing lake. Then, after all the talking, and getting too fucking paranoid to breathe, we leave. I'm fucking driving and here is where a special, on my list, moment happened.
For starters, it's like a fucking labyrinth to get to her lake house and I'm high; I have an iPhone which I plug to the car to make music to cover the awkward silence and all of us have an attention span of a gold fish with moments of zoning out.
Emily directs me up to the last turn where she's fiddling with my iPhone, uncertain how to work the contraption. I'm just driving along until I'm like, "Why is it 35?" Because 68/80 is only 55MPH.
I feel Emily's eyes widen, "Oh fuck, you missed your turn."
I chuckle, "What?"
Jonny asked, "What the hell is it?"
I laugh, seeing a bridge, seeing a dam, "Are we at fucking spillway?"
Spillway takes a fucking 30 minutes drive from where I live. I was at least 20-30 minutes from the road I NEEDED to be on, 68/80. And from the road I needed to be on, it would take 30 minutes to get to SG, so I can drop them off and go home. WELL.
"Yes, Heather, we are. You missed your turn and we're now here. Just pull off and turn around the next chance you get off the bridge. Damn, I was fiddling with your phone and, damn."
"What, seriously?" I laugh, staring at the bridge, and the sides full of water and the dam. "Haha, what the hell? I'm sorry. Holy shit we're at Spillway."
I'm not freaked, just astonished.
We're driving, I'm laughing, Emily is ATTEMPTING to keep her cool and Jonny is biting his bottom lip.
Emily perks up, "Yup, this is barren river."
Soon enough, as we're coming off the bridge, I read aloud, "You're now in Barren County."
I laugh very loud and the rest of my party groan.
A couple of feet up there's a little turn, drive sort thing and so I turn in there and have to suddenly stop.
NO COPS.
BUT DEER. A heard of fucking female deer. They scatter, me and Emily are squealing in delight and Jonny is groaning/screaming, "OMG, WHAT IS IT?" He's freaking the fuck out, quite literally. He's so scared.
[Seriously, when do you ever get to see DEER? While in that state, while driving and one isn't leaping AT your car? It was so awesome. They were so close, I could have bumped them with my car.]
Me and Emily are trying to get to our phones and Jonny is attempting at a calm voice when he keeps uttering to, "leave, they're leaving [deer]."
We leave, I nearly veer off the road, I nearly do it again on the bridge (here Jonny was cussing and literally fixing to kick me out of my own driver's seat.) and we're back driving along.
I continuously apologized because, "If I were you, I'd be so aggravated with me."
It was funnnnnn.
Then, as we're parked at her car, we talk about my road races.
EAT MY ASS.
I have raced two times.
One was a tie and the other one I won.
FUCK YEESSS.
