weekly roundup

Once again, I'm here to make an entry about all the shit I did all week without writing proper paragraphs or anything XD tho number one on the list is *pours one out* my paid account time lapsed and I spent all my fun money for the week on yarn, so I have very few icons right now ;w; My life is truly suffering.

Here we goooooooo!
  • Took my Japanese test I missed from spraining my ankle and somehow got a 98% despite thinking I maybe possibly failed
  • Went to three (3) different yarn stores to scope out the local goods. This was bad for my wallet but mostly saved by the fact that I had to wait until payday to buy anything
  • Yarn, part two: Liz and I went to a gathering at the yarn shop closest to us on Thursday even and it was super nice!! Free entry, full of eccentric older people and queers around our age, free booze, and all around good times :D
  • Yarn, part three: Liz, Pat, and I had errands on the other side of town on Friday so we stopped at a yarn store on the way, which had the exact yarn I needed for a knitted plush cat pattern. They were out of gray so I ended up getting just white and light orange, and I'm gonna make Hanna (rest in pieces soft baby)
  • Also on Friday we went to the local BDSM dungeon for geeky boardgame night, which is honestly not that far off from the crowd at the yarn gathering I went to the night before XD tbh it was a lot of fun and I'll probably actually talk about it more later
  • Made a new layout for my writing tumblr since my old one was like 7 years old. I did this instead of homework one day, because ummmm that's who I am lmao
  • BDSM club, part two: got dunked on for having a Homestuck tattoo. Not because it was Homestuck - everyone was sharing their dorky tattoos - but because it was Eridan. Which is like, fair, but just remember that I had this tattoo before Liz and I even started dating
  • Yarn, part four (I'm so sorry): we had to get groceries on Saturday, so I made us detour to Hobby Lobby for more yarn. I haaaaaate them as a company but what I hate even more is how fucking good their prices are for super unique yarn >< Pat got some neon yarn that I'm gonna turn into socks :D
Not on the list: The steady and increasing screams about Trigun every single day by everyone in the household!!!!!!!!!! STAMPEDE SATURDAY IS A HOLIDAY IN THE HOUSE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO AFTER IT'S OVER!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously we're all in soooooo deep

We did also make plans for when we're picking up Chi!!! Yepppp, time number three of Chi living with us, this time in a house with much more space. It's just meant to be for a few months until she gets settled in Baltimore and finds her own place, but I'm still excited. We're gonna make her watch so much anime with us XD And I am always pumped for road trips, especially up to NYC. It's been awhile since we've been!!

I'm gonna return to trying to do homework but mostly just making icons to fill the void in my soul (aka can't upload them for myself so I'll post them on my icon journal). OH RIGHT I changed the resolution on my laptop slightly so it doesn't feel like I'm working with icons for ants, and it's honestly been quite nice. The internet feels bigger and more friendly again!

But first, pictures! :D I had to get a new memory card this week because I somehow lost mine in the couch????? At least I'd backed up everything from it ;w;


Side bar for my writing journal, featuring my current fave pen + ink and Legato/Knives fanfic ;D


Very pretty yarn I got from Hobby Lobby- I'm gonna make a lacy shawl with it!


Sock yarn for [personal profile] arahith! I've never made socks before but I'm gonna try 💪


I forgot to mention that I started a new dice bag using yarn I already had sitting around. It's meant to match my newest D&D character, rather than just use the prettiest yarn ever *w*


Very very beginning of knitting Hanna. This might be the softest yarn I've ever worked with- the pattern calls for two strand knitting with alpaca yarn + delicate mohair, and together they feel heavenly. I'm so spoiled by it!!!!!
