While It Snows, I Knit

Scarf #1: FINALLY done! A bit short but wide, and it goes with my chocolate pink gloves to boot. :3

Scarf #2: Just barely started, so I can finally focus on this one. All-too-soft pink eyelashness with black yarn, you sexy thing...

Scarf #3: Ahh, kinda forgotten at the bottom of the bag. I had too much fun with stocking up on red eyelash yarn at one point....maybe more pairings to come with that one.

I have a big ball of yarn similar to the eternally soft pink, this one more blue-ish. I was thinking of doing the same thing, pairing it with the black yarn, but we'll have to see.

All in all, my vacation has pretty much consisted of shopping, knitting and late night Corner Gas marathons. For the first week, I find that pretty productive! Especially since it's snowing now. Not a hardcore blizzard, despite my childhood hopes....but still counts. :P

Ohh The Irony

Of course this sort of thing happens. I'm ready to choose one of the coats, and what happens? "No longer available". Well that's promising.

Start looking at the other coats, and the same thing is appearing. Unless it's a size 12 or something like that, then they actually have something to choose from! Even the plaid coat was disappointing, the pretty wine plaid they had was sold out in my size. And the other three....didn't need them.

Now here's where the irony shows up. I check the puffer coat, and AMG they have it in an XS. Preferably I'd go small just because I don't know how they'd fit comparatively to the rest of their clothes, but still. Sitting right there, as an option, is an XS. Only in black, but practicality also came into issue, so going for the white would have been cleaning torture in my mind. So basically, my size in black was the only thing I could really choose from, unless I wanted to go VERY large.

And of course, the puffer coat is the one that HCB had  pointed out as his favorite. Seriously, this may be another sign. I'm starting to get tired of these signs, they make me get my hopes up. D:

Nuuude!

I don't necessarily have a problem with buying things. Most of the time at least. My problem is that I will go for long periods of time without buying something unless it's completely necessary. Which yes, will end up being the occasional undergarment or stuff to that effect. The only thing I buy on a regular basis is a book or two, and thanks to college I'm way behind on that front. So what is it this time I'm behind on?

Coats. The last time I bought myself a coat was what I call my brown bomber coat, which I got at Walmart. I remember buying it because it was February, and I had forgotten my normal coat at school. Plus I couldn't go without it because that weekend was my cousin's wedding, and there was snow on the ground, and cold weather does not go well when you have to wear a dress. So it was an emergency coat purchase, but I still love the coat to death. But I need something that's between classy and warm, which my coat sort of lacks on the classy front.

Therefore, these are the coats I'm looking at for the moment...and before you wonder, I have a card for Victoria's Secret that I want to spend it on. Plus I like their coats. >.>

The Trenchcoat of Woolness

The Canadian Pufferness...And Leather?

The Awesomeness of Plaid Coat

The Classic Wool Coat of Luuurve

Currently, the voting stands at one vote for the wool trenchcoat and one vote for the puffer coat. I think you could guess who voted on the puffer coat, but I can't blame him, the puffer tends to be warmer and it sort of reminds me of his green coat with matching military-issue gloves. 47 confirmed kills with those, or so he says. :P

However, I need opinions. Particularly before I buy whichever one I damn well please, then go back and buy an extra coat for good measure. And that last plan is looking pretty damn good...

Meanwhile, I really want this shirt: http://shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=14639

Also, I think I've run out of steam on the shoe-buying front. Which is good, because I have my fair share of boots. Even though that number is at three. :P

One Small Step For Man

One incredibly high jump over the deep end for the small girl who doesn't know what the fuck she's doing.

It's a small step, an infinitesimally small step, but it's a step!

Sures is gonna be bummed that I didn't just say it outright that I like him.... >.>

And the Facebook thing was last resort, too. He came out near the end of my shift and almost went back in, until I lured him back by making him look at some coats I wanna get. Then right when I had my shot, the phone rang. IT RANG. Effin' DPS calling cuz they wanted a cell phone number for a kid in Olson, but uhh this was the Beede/Mick desk? Damn you, DAMN YOUUU....fine. Facebook it was then.

Totally chill here, totally chill............ :D

Late Night Amusement

IIIIIIIIII love drunk phone calls. Especially when they're at 2:20 AM and from my gay friend Adam. Because he then talks about how he can't get his shoes off, and how long his legs are, and then gossips about 'speculations' with me. Particularly about the asshole Richardson hall director. Speculation has it that he is indeed dating dumbass Allie, who can't keep any important keys on her to save her life. Bahahahaha!

Psychological Warfare

I'd never have the nerve to post something like this.....but thank gawd Michelle was just cruel enough to post this on HCB's wall, BAHAHAHAHA!



However, I did like it. As did Brookney's older brother. Ha!

All I Need Is Some Hot Cocoa...

At this moment, I'm sitting on my bed in my newish yoga pants, listening to Pandora Christmas music, Christmas lights plugged in, a can of Canada Dry nearby, watching the first legit blizzard of the year. So this is Christmas.... :D

I'm surprised, midnight tends to be the changing point as to what makes a good day vs a shitty day. And yesterday wasn't too bad. I had to get up early and work at 10am, but that means more monies! I didn't have to talk to Lindsay for any length of time other than 'hi' and got to handle and business-y stuff with the awesome Phil! Then HCB came and hung out with me at the desk for a half hour or so, but lately I've kinda given up on timing it. Mostly it was him playing music and looking for an iPod Touch or anything to buy on Best Buy's website. Also complaining about wanting food, he was hungry. So then a little after noon he asks me when I get off work. Depressingly, I still had to work till 2. Then yo, "Ah, if you were off I would've asked if you wanted lunch."

Ohhh snap! First time he's offered having lunch with someone other than Terrance!! XD

"I would've said yes, too."

Ha, my attempt at suaveness. :3

The rest of the day was just a lot of lazing around procrastinating on crap. I had two papers due at midnight, and I got those done no problem. It's the rest of the studying/homework stuff that I'm not looking forward to. Plus I've got to find time today to get some facetime at our weekend program and work the desk at the same time. Ahhh I can do it, with the way the day's been going, lol!

HCB also came out a bit after midnight to check out the desk, too. But every time he would say he was going to go study, and he would come back out. Twice. At least. We got a little bit in trouble with Kristi for kicking the volleyball around too, but I was too tired to really care, lol. Plus he looked really tired/stressed, but I mostly say that because he was much quieter than usual. Not to mention his music choices while there was...interesting. >.>

Fun fact: One of his exes didn't say much more than three words on their first date. That was brought up because Kacee was saying she tries her hardest to not say something overtly awkward or sexual when she's with her crush, so she ends up really quiet. Which I admit, I kind of do from time to time, too. Otherwise I say something REALLY retarded. :P

Seriously, I don't want to go take a shower and sleep with it snowing like this. D:
