Day 17

I’m doing this knit-a-long. And I’ll probably blog about it when it’s finished, or as I go along.

Is blogging images during a mystery KAL an illegal spoiler?

Meh. Awful night. I hate everyone. (Except for you, probably.) (But definitely YOU.)

Day 16

Giveaway update: The first piece is almost done, the second is designed with all the necessary supplies, and the third is an almost-designed solid idea. I’m pretty excited to show them off here once they’ve been given away.

I forgot for a while that I was using prompts for this NaBloPoMo thing, and so I have a few saved up. Which is lucky, because I’m low on ideas for today’s post. It’s also unlucky, because all of the questions I accidentally skipped are ones that I absolutely do not want to answer. But I’ll do my best.

Nov. 10: What do you like most about cold weather? What do you like the least?

I’m not sure that I like anything about cold weather. It’s nice to not have to shave, but I still shave anyway because I don’t like the way stubble feels under tights. What I’m most excited about this winter is to have a break – when my internship ends and winter break at school begins. I’ll miss the internship (mostly because I’ll miss the money), but man it’ll be nice to stay home with Grady all day every day.

Nov. 11: What do you *really* wish you were doing right now, and how soon do you think you can make it happen?

Well, I kind of have no goals or aspirations. The things I want selfishly would come at Grady’s ultimate expense, so I don’t really want them. I do wish I were in a relationship (a healthy one would be nice), but have absolutely no idea how to “make that happen.”

Nov. 12: What’s the biggest sacrifice you’ve ever made for another person? Was it worth it?

Didn’t I just answer that? I sacrificed a life, an identity, a body for Grady — and yes, it was absolutely worth it. I still tend to complain, but that’s mostly because I’m forgetful. For example: Just now I was complaining about being single, forgetting that it’s pretty likely that I’m single because I’m a busy mom. Knowing that Grady is on the other end of that bargain makes it absolutely worth it, but sometimes I forget about the connection. Bah. I suck at writing today.

Nov. 15: Are you spiritual, religious, agnostic, or atheist? Do you think there is one path to God, or many?

I’m an atheist, and generally feel great about that. For me personally, atheism has absolutely made me a better person that any sort of religion ever did. I get that doesn’t work for everyone. I really don’t care what people believe — just don’t be stupid, hurtful, ignorant, intolerant, or an ass.

Nov. 16: Who’s the most difficult person you’ve known in your life, and what would you like to tell him or her?

I am the most difficult person in my life, which is kind of a self-sufficient parasitic problem. Beyond that, I’ve already said everything I could possibly say to the second most difficult person. I told you. I didn’t want to answer any of these questions. But I must remain true to the completely arbitrary rules of the website that comes up first in the Google search for “NaBloPoMo!”

Note: I don’t know what that image is of. I use a thing called Zemanta, which makes suggestions for images and links and tags as I write blogs. If I have a post without a picture, I’ll add whichever of Zemanta’s recommendations I like most, and that one was my favorite.
