*poke*
Yanno, it’s hard to blog when:
- You have no time to knit.
- Your parents are in town, so you have even less time to knit.
- What precious little knitting time you squeak in is devoted to a stealth project.
Really, I’m going to get this blogging thing down one of these days.
Things are still pretty awesome, for the most part, but I’m rediscovering how so many hours essentially alone (I don’t have a lot of social interaction at work, nevermind the two hour round trip commute) lets me very much get lost in my own head. Sometimes that’s a good thing, and sometimes that brings out the crazy. Sometimes it does both at the same time. I made a reference recently on Facebook to pressing on bruises to see how much you can get them to hurt, and it really is a lot like that. I get an idea and I poke it and fidget with it and prod it from all angles to see what it will do. Like a sore tooth that you can’t quit poking at with your tongue.
Or maybe that’s just me.
(Actually, I know it’s not just me. Yes, Carrie, when I have real, physical bruises I poke at them. A lot. You are not alone.)

*blink blink* Hmm, that bruise thing doesn’t tempt me at all!

Hee. I bet Chris doesn’t poke the crazy either. I have the opposite problem these days. When my mind doesn’t get any alone time to calm itself, that’s when the crazy comes out. I haven’t actually been alone in several months now (except for the drive to work but that doesn’t count for me since I can’t zone out) and the crazy is creeping into the field of vision, and the monsters are leaking out.

Isn’t crazy normal?
Don’t judge me.

2 hour commute?? Holey scapoley! Are you listening to every audiobook ever made? That’s what I’d do!
Oooooh, great contest – audiobook suggestions!
