I'm watching t.v., talking to someone, or more likely listening to a book on CD (right now it's Outlander by Diana Gabaldon) and I look down and I'm crocheting. I didn't even know I was doing it. I can't stop! I might need an intervention soon. I'm waiting for yarn burns to appear on my fingers. Everyone is getting something crocheted for the holidays. Send in your requests.
There are pics of two projects done at the bottom of the post. Another thing I've been obsessed with are wikis. I can't get enough of them. I love pbwiki. (http://pbwiki.com/) There is another wiki site but I haven't ventured there yet, mainly because I can't remember what it is. In case you've never been to one, seen one, had one, a wiki is a site where, how do I say this, it's a web page that you set up and you can give the password to selected people (or anyone) and they can edit it also. Neat business tool, although I've never used it that way. I opened one once for a kind of un-offical work hangout for my coworkers and I, but it died out. It was cool while it lasted. We had a recipe page, and a pet page, yada yada. Over this last summer I opened one for my daughter who took a trip. I kept it private (verses public) and gave only my mom and daughter the password so we could all keep track of what needed to be done and her schedule. My mom would ask what kinds of food my daughter liked and we added a page of favorite foods with pics and recipes. Another page of it had her flight times (remember this was private only) so there would be no mix up. Right now I have two separate wikis. One is for writing, where I have pages for the different stories I'm working on, a brainstorming page, favorite links I use as writing tools, and neat pics that give me ideas. No one has that password and I've kept it private. I opened it and put it online so I could get to my stories when inspiration struck and not have to wait until I got home and first kick off whoever is on the puter. My second one is for all the different crafts I work on. Dollhouse, crochet (damn you crochet for sucking me into your yarny hell again), painting/drawing, the boxes I paint, sewing, etc. There's too many and I'm still not done setting up all the pages. It's fun though, I can keep track of stuff I've done, post pics, save patterns and links I like. Okay....I'm obsessed. I admit it. Here's what I did the past two weekends. Hooded Scarf and I'm almost done with matching wrist warmers for it.

What are YOU currently obsessed with? |

Life happened, and you were put to the back burner for bigger things. I have found that the crap I really want to talk about and dish are things best left unblogged for the people that I like and know me. I wouldn't want them to look at me differently after.... The best part of a private journal is the no holds barred aspect. You kinda loose that when your mom reads your blog and then asks you what DP means. Ah well, maybe anonymous IS the way to go, that or hand write a diary again. I could try to get philosophical with you and compare the quality of friendships and relationships and how blogs interfere with them. Talking and passing stories in person and judging reactions and expressions instead of reading planned out words. How one's thoughts become generic to conform to how one wants to be perceived by all others as a group, instead of taking into consideration each personality that you communicate with. Even exploding thoughts and feelings to justify emotions and try to seem interesting to get that coveted comment.
