This weekend is going to be sooo much fun!!!

I am really excited for this weekend. First, today I am going to the movies with and friend and we plan to see Blood and Chocolate. :) I have no idea what it's about and my friend that I am going with told me the whole plot and then I forgot but I still want to see it.

Later tonight, I am going bowling with my sister! :) I love bowling.
Then tomorrow, before the Super Bowl, my family and my dad's friend are going bowling. :) Did I say that I love bowling? Well, I guess I do! Then we'll come home and watch the game.

In the knitting world, I am almost 100% done with the front left pannel, it fascinates me that I take a year and a half to do the back, but then the front only takes me a week or so. Amazing...

I also have watermelon socks going, and these other dumb white stupid socks that are STUPID. I really really hate them. I think they are so ugly. I am considering only knitting the one sock and then never making its pair. Oh well.

Now, as I am getting everso closer to the end, that I want to knit another sweater. I was thinking of this. Any suggestions?

Finals start tomorrow!

This is both good and bad.

Good:
-no homework
-end of semester
-new classes next semester

Bad:
-I have to take finals
-The classes that I have finals in are 90 minutes. :(


Still can't find my dumb USB cord...it's somewhere...

Knitting update:

OMG, I have done a surprising amount of knitting over the last couple of days that it's rediculous...okay, not that rediculous, but I am halfway done with the front left pannel, on the sweater project that took me over a year and a half to make just the back. Amazng huh? Never knew that if I put my mind to it I could knit that much! This project is currently my main focus for me so I can keep my head in one place. Otherwise, I'd go crazy.

So get this, for my English final, I need to know the prologue to Romeo and Juliet (I already know it :) ), 30 literary devices, and be able to answer in detail 3 questions about TKAM. Whoop dee doo dah. To occupy myself, here are the literary devices:

Aliteration: repitition of consanants
Aliterative Sentence: sentence using aliteration throughout entire sentence
Allusion: reference to a person/story
Analogy: comparison between two things to show they are alike
Character: people, animals, main person or thing in the story
Conflict: the problem
Exaggeration: everstating/streching the truth
Forshadowing: use of clues or hints
Humor: something written to be funny subtle or obvious
Idiom: any figurative expression
Inference: something hinted at but not stated
Imagery: something that appeals to the five senses
Irony: contrast to what actually happened
Metaphor: uses 'is', like a simile
Onomatopeia: sounds that are written out
Oxymoron: opposites (ex. freezer burn)
Plot: story line
Point of View: view of the person or thing telling the story
Resolution: the resolved conflict, ending
Sarcasm: praise to mock someone
Setting: time and place
Simile: like, as, than compares with something else
Stream of Conciousness: writter writes what they are thinking as they are thinking it
Symbol: something that stands for something else
Synechdoche: using part of a whole to use the essential meaning (ex.military: army, navy, etc)
Theme: general idea of the story
Tone: attitude towards the reader

So that in addition to:

Two households both alike in dignity
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene
From ancient grudge break to new muntiny
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death, bury their parents strife
The fearful passage of their death-marked love
And the continuance of their parents' rage
Which, but their childrens' end, nought could remove
Is now the two hours traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend
What you shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

SO, I have to know that prologue and the literary devices above for English. Now, thats only English. My other final tomorrow is math. Which I am not too worried about since it's open note...THANK GOD.

My schedule for finals the rest of the week:

Wednesday: 2nd period and 5th period (English, Math)
Thurday: 3rd period and 6th period (Spanish, PE)
Friday: 1st period, 4 period (Science, Art)

My schedule next semester:

1st- coordinated science honors
2nd- english honors
3rd- spanish
4th- court/net sports
5th- geometry honors
6th- health

No fun classes this semester, I'm taking health since everything I want is full and I will eventually have to take health, so why not get it done now?

That's it for now, I promise pictures next time I get and next time I find my USB cord for my camera.

Snow Day #6! :)

This is a yay and nay since that now, if the school district doesn't erase all of the missed snow days or whatever. I will be getting out on July 2! Wahoo. Doesn't that sound exciting! Not. I mean it's really really nice to have snow, actually, I am very excited! Besides that fact that our bowling meet against Ferndale at Majestic Lanes is canceled and will probably me moved to sometime next week and then Districts will be moved and possibly State... Isn't snow pretty? I love it.

In the knitting world, there isn't much to say. I restarted the heel on my Bazaar Sock. I knitted a little on the white sock that I hate. It's really ugly. Hmmm, am I thinking Christmas Present? Do do do... :)

I'll probably make socks for all of my relatives this year since I am in a sock knitting mood.

Oh yeah, here are some pictures:

To make up for yesterday's no pictures. :)

Have a good day and I hope it snows!

Not much here

I would be posting pictures today, but can I find my USB cord to plug inmy camera to the computer? No. It's around here somewhere. Today my plan is to bowl with my sister at two and then the rest of the day, I am going to knit or finish one of the three sock patterns that I am currently knitting. I'll probably finish the white sock pair, then hopefully finish either the watermelon or the Bazaar Sock next.

Let me tell you that the Bazaar sock is the most intense pattern I've done. I currently have to redo the heel (I've only done like two rows) because I followed the pattern and I was knitting the side not the bottom of the sock. WHATEVER. Stupid sock pattern...

News about the blog, I have added a counter which I don't think will tell me very well who is on my blog because I am constantly looking at my blog to make sure that my edits are correct and so I probably add over half of the page views. Goodness, oh well.

Yep, it's pretty boring around here at 10:20 in the morning. I hear it's suppose to snow 2-4" but it won't last too long because warm weather is coming in right after it, I hope the snow last enough for a 2-hour delay or something. Kinda hoping snow day, but at the same time I really really want to bowl in the meet Tuesday.

THat's it for now. Once I find my stupid USB cord, I will post pictures.

It keeps on snowing and I keep on knitting!

Okay, so it seems that the winter weather is far from ending. My dad informed me at dinner tonight that it is suppose to snow 2-4" by Tuesday morning or on Tuesday. One of the two. Either way, I amd kinda excited but I really want to bowl again Ferndale Tuesday at Majestic Lanes. Guess what! I also get to bowl Thurday at Anacortes and Friday in Mt.Vernon! Anywho, back to the weather. So our little snow "flurry" ended up being an additional 0.5 inches. And guess what! It's been about 5 or so days since the last snow day and none of the snow has melted and normally at my house, I'm lucky if the snow is still here (in large amounts like the entire backyard) are white. SO this is a signal that the worst is yet to come! I LOVE snow. But I do get the feeling that a lot of people around here are getting really sick of the snow. They don't know what they are missing. I think that the reason that I love snow so much is because I think that I am really still a kid inside. I know, I know, technically I am still a kid but a lot of people my age are not cool enough to want to play in the snow.


Now I shall talk about knitting since that is the main reason I am typing right now. Here are some things that I have knitted today. Yes, during the football game. Me gusta ver americano futbol. (I like to watch american football) By the way the Seahawks lost and now I have no interest in watching the other games except the Super Bowl (which my family and I like to refer to the stupid bowl as of two years ago untill the Seahawks finally got to the Super Bowl) But steering away from the play by play football, I knitted these while watching the game:





I got the lemon and lime pattern from Jess Hutch but I made the apple and banana on my own without a pattern.

I also knitted some of my sock since I last posted on here. I'll post a picture tomorrow. Same with the bazaar sock. If I posted a picture of it tonight, then you won't see much progress from yesterday, so I thought I would at least finish my current band before I showed more. So I am still knitting. I actually spent all day knitting and watching tv.

I think the snow really mentally makes me knit. I will never know. All I know is that I love knitting and I love snow.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

OH MY GODDNESS!!!

I'm so excited for tonight and tomorrow! At about 10:30 or so, it's suppose to SNOW!!! I LOVE SNOW!!! Anywho, SOME people in my math class decided to tell me to stop saying that because I would jynx it. I doubt you can jynx science. I've been watching the news and so has everyone else. Since I live in the convergent zone, it's suppose to snow 5-8" OVERNIGHT. There will still be some snow showers tomorrow though. Then it is suppose to get super cold over the rest of the week which means.... ICE. Yay and nay on that one. One, it's super dangerous, but TWO, Heck, it means (hopefully) no school!!! Yeah, we're looking at getting out around July 2nd or so. Yipee. :( But, hey the snow is a ton of fun to play in. This time I am going to persuade my sister into actually playing in the backyard with me and we are going to have a snowball fight whether she likes it or not. She just doesn't know it yet... :)

On the needles, I am trying to knit socks but are boring me and I don't really know if I want to continue. They're kinda ugly in my opinion. But hey, that's just me. Besides the fact that I'm using worsted weight yarn and size 10 needles. Again, hey, it's just me. I think I might put some random good pattern names on a piece of paper and put it into a bowl and draw the names. And then knit whatever one I pick randomly. Or something like that. I think...

I'll post pictures of the snow, which it will snow... better be 8 stinkin' inches! :)

Not much here...

Okay, so it's finally Saturday! Yay! Even though my school week was only 3 days, it was still very long. THere was this one girl in my mathe class who is being a snob towards me and I was like, WHATEVER. If she wants to act that way then fine by me. I really don't care for her.

On the happy trail, I was playing this extremely kiddy game that I haven't played in a long time. I ended up getting 15000 dollars in the game (fake money, not real) the links here:

Hot Shot Bussiness

It's incredibly fun. If you play the game, I suggest playing a candy store and finace with your own money. Plus, when you get the research and development option, take it. Instead of barely getting past rent, I would be making 5000 extra in addition to rent when using the research and develpoment object. So, yeah. Have fun with it.

In knitting, I havn't been doing much. Yes, I am still trying to find that project that pops out at me. Have I found it? No. I've been thinking I might knit a cozy type thing for my bowling ball bag since, frankly, it's ugly. But no motivation yet. I'm going to check out Craftster.org and see if there is anything there.

FELIZ ANO NUEVO! (imagine the squiggle above the n)

HAPPY NEW YEAR! WELCOME 2007!

Okay, back to knitty land... I decided last night to stay up late and continue knitting the cardigan since I am trying to uphold my New Year's resolution to try to minimize the number of projects on th needles. I was so freaked out last night when I couldn't find my size 6 needles for the ribbing of the cardigan. I was like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! But then the needles ended up in the bottom of my yarn basket. Do do do... :)

I have about 20 more rows to go. Then I can start on the front right, front left, and the sleeves and then before you know it, my first handknit cardigan sweater will be fini! If it fits me then that would be awesome. If it's too big then I'll probably see if it fits my mom or sister. I bet it will fit one of them. I'll just have to knit and see.


Oh my goodness! I heard the funniest knitting joke in the entire world. (from http://plcdesigns.blogspot.com/2006/12/pricing-your-work.html )
It goes: 'A woman is knitting as she drives and her speed goes up to 95 mph when she passes a parked police car. The officer turns on the siren and gives her chase but the woman, oblivious, doesn't notice him. Finally, he pulls up alongside her car and yells, "Pull over! PULL OVER!" to which she replies. “NO! It's a CARDIGAN” '

The same page has an awesome tutorial of how to price your knitted items. Very informational. A definate read.

Anywho, hope your New Year is bright.

New Year Knitting

I have no idea on what my first project of the new year should be. I want it to be something spactacular and different that I've never tried before but at the same time I love the pattern. (I find it unappealing to knit something that I hat since when I am forced to do so, it takes me forever to do)

I am going to start my SUPER SEARCH. First I will go to the knitting pattern central, then crochet pattern central, look at the links in my 'really good knitting pattern' folder in my favorites and then end in craftster.org. If I can't find anything in any of those, then well, I'm screwed. I'll just make up some makeshift pattern of some sorts. idunno. Well, I'm off. If anyone who reads this wants to make a comment and reccomend a really really really good pattern that would be awesome.

I NEED YOUR HELP!

Okay, so I have a job for you! Yes you!

I am dying here havig no idea on what to knit. I am desperate and willing to knit anything (okay, not anything, but you catch my drift). I would like all entrys by Thursday (sometime) or Friday.

P.S. When I'm done with the selected project, then I will show tons of pictures.
