Friend or FO (I'm 2 Clever 4 U)--this will be my hit single when I am a pop star.

I haven't had an FO that I didn't frog since...a REALLY long time! I think not since I made all those hats over the summer. Everything just languishes around now, because I fear commitment (?).

Also, I guess I haven't had that much knitting time, what with the job and the homework and the relentless kanji quizzes (ASK me about my Japanese minor, if I haven't blogged about that enough) and the carpal tunnel and the drugs! Oh, the drugs (not the steroids though. I am proud to say that issue cleared itself up with no side effect of hair growth).

Strange that this is a knitting blog, yet the only thing I've managed to accomplish is soup. And something about Uncle Remus? I seem to recall blogging about that bit of excitement. Then I moved my work-talk to my other blog, because I am ashamed of my Joel Chandler Harris fangirlery, and fangirlery is for livejournal. I should make a T-shirt.

Man, as soon as I'm some sort of celebrity, I can be 9000 other things too! Fashion designer, talk show host, director, cereal spokeswoman, dancing with the stars, the list goes on and on. Now all I need to do is be really hot and in some sort of lawsuit. Or a reality show. Holy crap it's almost midnight and there's totally another one of those awful kanji quizzes tomorrow. But after tomorrow there are only three kanji quizzes left and then I'm DONE with Japanese forever. I'd be sad except that, like most things with me, I've done too much Japanese in my life and now I hate it.

I really hope that taking a carpal-tunnel-induced break from knitting will prolong my knitting-love for a few more years. Then I'll become obsessed with something else, let's say the hammer dulcimer, and the yarn will just hang out in my house with all my other abandoned hobbies such as needlepoint, clothespin dolls (I was REALLY good at making likenesses. I never made one of myself that I didn't give away. I smell a project!), sewing, reading, making those felt chocolate people from that one craft magazine from 10 years ago, plastic canvas box-making (I don't know what that's called, but I made a lot of boxes), and exercising. Maybe I'll take up yoga. I think I might need to relax.

I bought Gretel, by the way, and am delaying starting it because I can't find a crochet hook, and my roommate is too far away (20 feet or so) to ask for one. Plus, OMG KANJI QUIZ. WHAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF 浅い?! AND WHAT DOES THAT EVEN SAY?!

(it says "asai"--"shallow"--and the opposite is 深い)
