Why Sleep?

So... maybe I'll be good about posting for the first little while, but I'm sure I'll get bad at it at some point. Mark my words! If you look at the time stamp you'll see it's super late. But I need to do something. Currently, I have a whole big box of projects I have to finish, start, and/or redo. The majority of it is a collection of various yarns I have no clue what to do with and so I thought I would figure it out tonight. However, the blog world is so giant I didn't really know where to begin looking for a knitting project to work on. 


About a year ago I learned how to knit these super cute headbands, take note.


Super cute, right? I thought so. The thing is, I'm not a big hat person. Or a headband person. Regardless, I love these things, but I want something else. I want to find something else I can make so I don't have to spend my nonexistent money on cute things. Really, that's my life's ambition; be cute for as little money as possible. I'll let you know how it goes. This could take a while. I have a tendency to call it quits and never actually finish any of the "projects" that I start. Hence the whole big box as mention above. Better luck this time, I hope!

What the!?

A blog? For me? Could it be? Indeed, I am writing a blog. Currently I have no goals, no ideas, and no clue what to do with a blog. But alas, here I am.



Today is a music day. I have these days almost every other day, seeing as how, I'm addicted to music. It's my brain sometimes. I have been known to bust out in song at a moment's notice. I think it keeps life more interesting, but really I just always have a song, or multiple, in my head and no filter. I say what I think. It can be dangerous. And I digress.

Music days are usually pretty unproductive for the most part. I typically just sit at the computer and find a song or two that I really want to listen to at that moment and try to find more like it. Or I'll listen to songs I haven't heard before by artists I really like. Either way, music days just include listening to music all day. New music, old music, odd music, anything I can get my hands on. Today I'm in a, A Fine Frenzy, Meiko, Imogen Heap, Snow Patrol kind of mood. Slow, mello indie songs about life and love. Mostly the love part. I never feel like can relate, but that I could if I ever had a relationship to refer to. Oh well, as said best by Death Cab For Cutie, "someday you will be loved." 




I have to think that now is the time in my life to really become who I want to be. Because the fact is, I will get married one day and when that day comes, I don't want to be confused or unsure about who I am and what I want. I had a religious leader one time tell me, "now is your time to be selfish." I have the opportunity to steer my life in whatever direction I want it to go in. I just have to figure out what direction that is. Fun, right? Being a responsible adult sucks.
I think I might just get the hang of it one day. We'll see. For now I think I'll just run in hide from reality in my musical fortress of solitude.

Hope this whole, blog things goes well for me. Knowing me, I probably won't post anything for like a month and a half. But until then look up:
