That's pretty good, haha. Are they pointy or round or flat? I've bought a few things on eBay. I bought a box full of 90 skeins of yarn for like 80 bucks (which is a really good deal) about a year ago.

Holy poop. I wouldn't know what to do with that much yarn. I just opened up a box I had to find gem glue and I found all my looms and random yarn and I was like Holllllyyyy cowabunga. Pretty colours. So much yarn. I can crochet though I haven't recently I finished one boot sock and didn't move onto the next sock so it's lonely and in the corner.

They were small skeins, but I have a lot more yarn than that, lol. So I've told myself not to buy any until I've made a significant dent. It'll be awhile before I can allow myself to buy any more, assuming I actually keep my fast.

I have that problem with socks. I've made one or two individual socks but never finish. XD.

Can I see a picture of your stash? is it organized? Yarn is so pretty. Life is too short to knit with cheap yarn.

It isn't very organized it is just a couple of large boxes right now xD. My room is in a perpetual state of mess, and half of the stuff that belongs in there is hiding in boxes in the basement. And much of my yarn is cheap, I experiment and start over too much to waste expensive yarn xD. I might spend more money on it if 1) I had an LYS and 2) I had concrete plans for it.

I actually have a lot of recycled yarn as well. From sweaters purchased at the thrift store or given to me, from cut-up t-shirts and from cut-up plastic bags.

I am not smart enough or keen enough to destroy sweaters. I'd probably wanna wear them. Lol. I'd be a hipster if I wasn't so weird and uncool.

lol I can't really wear sweaters, I just don't find them comfortable and I get hot/sweaty. I prefer hoodies and jackets that I can easily remove and layer with t-shirts. It does take a little bit of know-how to unravel sweaters, and only certain kinds can even be unraveled at all but it makes for a cheap way to get nice yarns like some cashmere I am using to make a scarf with right now.

I demand to see the pictures. :( I wish to see them. I am taking pictures of my peter pan collars. I am super self concious about the pictures I show to you as first impressions. I've also been sick for a week, so these might be done tomorrow because I might wake up and be like 'Why."

I think we chased em off xD. She's a little OCD (in the actual diagnosed way) and so she takes a long time on decisions like that.

My brother has OCD. And ADHD. Oh buddy, it's rough sometimes. Hes not like the way people assume (clean, perfectionist), more like if nervous he'll pick his skin, if he has money in his pocket he has to spend it, even if it's for someone else, he has to spend. In the recent years mom has managed to get him to be able to save a little bit by giving him $10 of his own pay check a day. OCD is a hard condition man.

thankfully she isn't as bad as that, but she does stress out considerably about things most people (even me, and I have plenty of anxieties of my own, no actual diagnoses though) might take for granted. She's on a few meds though, she was a lot worse before. But for instance today I made pancakes (it is just the two of us in the house this week, apart from the dog and cat; our parents are out of town with our older sister) and I was amazed that she had syrup because one of her phobias is sticky things. Normally she gets stressed out at the mere mention of syrup or the word "sticky".

I have diagnoised anexity. Sucks. Didn't know what it was, and I was too scared to sleep at night cause I was sure I'd be killed before I woke up. That ain't exactly normal. I need to decide if I wanna shower or not tonight. Hohum.

That does suck :(. I don't drive and it took me forever to get a job, cause of my stuff, too.

Decisions, decisions. I don't usually shower if I don't have anything else to do right away, and I don't feel gross XD.

Meds were the best though. I am able to do things, not procrastinate, sleep, have one thought at a time with no background noise. I honestly didn't know how bad it was.

I just don't wanna get out of bed, and stand in the shower. And go to sleep with it wet. I have to wake up at like 8:30am and it's 12:15am right now. Sooo.
