Now that I'm back from NYC

... I can get back to business. Like that scary list of UFOs I need to work on. Here are some developments:

An incredibly gay-looking beanie for my friend Rob. That's pretty much just the crown, and considering I started this about two hours ago I think I'm making good time.

The first half of a Yorick scarf for my friend Keith. He wants to pick up hot Goth chicks in Japan. This might just help him achieve that goal.

Some non-craft related news:
- They filled up the pool at my apartment complex. As a result, I'll be in it pretty much all day tomorrow.
- I have watched so much Top Gear that my inner monologue is starting to sound quite British.
- In addition to the above, I called gas 'petrol' today while chatting with a friend. That's just wrong.
- I leave for Europe in 47 days OMG.

Ah crap

I was tagged, so I guess I'm doing a meme.

1. List 7 random facts about yourself on your blog.
2. Tag 7 more blogs, making sure to let them know.

1. I obsessively shower. Usually two times a day, if not three.

2. In the words of Ghandi: Be the change you wish to see in the world. And that's why I'm vegan, straightedge, and politically aware.

3. Alkaline Trio has been my favorite band for eight years now.

4. Besides being a singer, I can play guitar, bass/bass guitar, and euphonium. Helpful instruments like the piano, though? Nope.

5. I've discovered a new way to annoy my cat: laser pointers.

6. I'm more-or-less Buddhist, although I have yet to go to a Buddhist temple for worship or meditation. I think I'm still too "white" to do that. This is also interesting due to my employment by random Christian churches. $$$

7. From time to time I'll joke about things to get a laugh out of Keith, but for the most part I am ridiculously PC. Which is part of the reason why my family drives me insane.

Hmm, who should do this ... AuraLee, and six other random people that stumble across this blog. hah.
