malaysia's musings

So when I'm up late at night and am tired of knitting (don't faint it happens on occasion) I start doing silly things like surfing the web randomly and doing random quizzes. This one is the OKCupid test. I just think it's funny that I'm Random and Brutal. I sound like a tornado. Or a sniper. I love the line "Then you make her bleed". I don't just hurt her....I make her bleed.

Yep.


Anyway, read for yourself.


The Wild Rose
Random Brutal Love Dreamer (RBLDf)

Colorful, but unpicked. You are The Wild Rose.

Prone to bouts of cynicism, sarcasm, and thorns, you excite a certain kind of woman. Hoping to gather you up, she flirts and winks and asks you out, ultimately professing her love. Then you make her bleed. Why? Because you're the rare, independent, self-sufficient kind of woman who does want love, but not from a weakling.

You don't seem to take yourself too seriously, and that's refreshing. You aren't uptight; you don't over-plan. Romance-wise, sex isn't a top priority--a true relationship would be preferable. For your age, you haven't had a lot of bonafide love experience, though, and this kind of gets to core of the issue. You're very selective.

So my good friend Warner pointed me toward this website that will tell you how evil your website is. At first I was saddened to find out that my blog was only 30% evil, but then I only write on it about twice a month these days so if two days out of my life can equal up to 30% evil then I can live with that.

I was also heartened by the fact that evil.com only rated at 33% evil so I feel like I'm doing okay.

Oh and if you were wondering my knitting blog was 35% evil and my website only 9%.

In other news we go into tech for Smoke on Tuesday and it feels like we are way ahead this time around. We have a few understudies going in on the first week though so most of my work is in the next couple of weeks.

Okay, so I'm actually flying, but you get the point.

Tonight ends my 11 day stay in beautiful Southern California where I have done nothing but eat, sleep, shop and knit.

I arrived Christmas morning after quite a fun drive into DC with Larry, Theresa & Kris to whom I owe a big thanks for all the stopping so I didn't throw up in my car on the way there. But we eventually made it to our planes (or I assume we did since the last time I saw Kris and Larry was in the long term parking lot where we got separated into 2 different busses) But I eventually made it to my parent's home where within a few hours I got to see family who I haven't seen since May. We ate dinner, we opened presents and once they all left I opened gifts with my immediate family. Now I know I'm old when Santa no longer visits. Of course I got two big 'ole presents from the "Knitting Fairy" (that was actually written on the slip, I'm not making it up) Tons of fun yarn and new knitting books as well as a ball winder and a swift (don't ask it's too hard to explain), plus visits to at least 4 knitting shops and I've had an amazing vacation.

New Years Eve we went to my mom's aunt and I saw cousins and aunts I haven't seen in, get this, 15 years. Which meant that many cousins who I remember as infants or toddlers are now driving which is just depressing. I managed to dodge the attempts to get me to sing and we were back home around 10 and I was asleep by 11 (in my own defense it was past midnight in Virginia)New Years Day we went over to some friends house where there was live Hawaiian music and hula dancing as entertainment and it underlined for me how different my life is now.

All in all I've eaten more in the last 11 days than in the previous month and I'm very much looking forward to getting back to work next week. If I'm counting correctly I haven't been to work in at least 3 weeks and if you know me I'm going a little crazy, but I'm feeling more relaxed than I have in years.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. JT Congrats on the Penn win and hopefully I'll see you all very soon.
