The Knitting Revolutionary

So. Freekin. Cute!

For anyone who plays WoW, you'll understand why this conversation with my young nephew, who has just started playing, is so damn cute. Everyone else... as you were.

*grin* The caps lock. The melee'ing with the staff when he had a perfectly good wrath spell. The complete disregard for agg or quest objectives. All the things that would drive you crazy and make you click "leave party", suddenly become ridiculously cute when it's your adorable blond nephew playing hundreds of kilometres away, who sms'd you that morning to say "come on WoW and play!".

Oh and I got extra warm fuzzies for the day when I logged and started the little mageling, and realised that Josh was all the way over in the elven area, and I was literally on the other side of the world. Rather than waste 30 mins of leveling to my huge level 4 (LOL) I ran up to Ironforge and said in general chat what had happened, and was there a mage out there who'd be happy to go a random act of kindness and port me over to Darnassus for free so I could play with him. Sure there was, and what a sweety. Widgget from Khaz, you made my day. Until of course I joined Josh in Teldrassil and the fun really began. But hey, who can compete with warm fuzzies like that, hm?

It's Friday, and all is well...

Life has been pretty good to me lately.

So far, I'm enjoying my new job as youth worker. Unfortunately I don't really get to talk about work at all on the blog, so booooo to not being able to share one of the coolest and most interesting bits of my life with you all. Those of you who know me in person will have to catch up the old-fashioned way. :D

The weird thing about me is that the more I'm doing, the more I get done. No, wait. That sounds like a statement of the obvious, but it's not really. I mean... when I was not working, I tended to just get around to the housework whenever. But now that I'm working again, I'm remembering how much energy I used to have, and am rediscovering. So I'm actually doing more housework, and getting back to the gym (whee!) and knitting! Because my work hours aren't flexible (double boooo) I get up at about 7ish, but don't have to be there until 9am... and I usually have about 1/2 an hour free in the morning to hang out and do whatever.

So instead of playing WoW for that 1/2 hour (30 mins isn't really enough to get into it and have a proper play) like Marty-Bear has been (tsk tsk Marty, you'd better start leveling that shaman), I've been doing a little bit of housework some mornings, and knitting. Yay! AND... the days I'm in the office for lunch (it happens occasionally), I pull out my knitting. It's attracted less comments than I thought it would, but my work colleagues are slowly realising that I'm not likely to poke them if they're nice to me. *evil giggle*

I finished the back of my green jumper last night, yay! And I'd be casting on for the front of it, but I felt like bragging instead. :D Isn't it loverly? After the setback which saw me frogging a good 20% of the back, I put it aside for a little while and voila! I get a job, have hardly any time any more, and the only thing that's suffered is my gaming time. *blush* Funny that.

SSK last Saturday was AWESOME! The piccies will go up sooner or later, but M-H is even busier than she usually is these days, and for now you'll just have to believe me that it was huuuuge and there were so many people there that I didn't get to talk to most of the new peeps. My priority was more to catch up with my buds that I hadn't seen for so long though, so no biggie. Ooh! There's my alarm... I'm off to work, more later! :D:D:D
