This will be my weirdest, bizarrest (is that a word?) post yet.
Knit Night.
Sounds innocent doesn't it?
Like you're gonna go knit, right?
Well, for really strange reasons, I cannot actually tell you what happened.
Something DID happen and LEGALLY, I can't tell you yet.
Don't worry.
It wasn't bad or horrid or violent or any of those nasty things.
BUT................
I can only tell you how I feel for now.
I feel like I have been abducted by aliens.
I feel completely out of sorts.
I feel off balance.
Just suffice to say, I would liken it to an alien abduction complete with flying saucers and I feel totally strange right now.
I feel so NOT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
And then, it's so evil of me just to write about my 'feelings' and not what happened.
I'm sorry.
This may qualify as blog abuse?
Anyway, I slept for a grand total of 3 hours. (thank you neighbors for hammering at 7 am. that was sooo lovely to wake up to!)
KNIT NOTE
I DID show my punk tank to my trusted knitter friends.
I got major thumbs up!
I just need to finish it now. Nearly there. Nearly there.
But it deserves a name doesn't it?
I hereby dub it: THE JANIS TANK named after Janis Joplin.
the piccies will be coming soooooooon. I promise.
Well, apologies for this cryptic post.
NOTES
Lara - I am so glad you got the "I hate to be typical" comment! ha!
Nathania - You are like this cyber friend who is always understanding and manages to send warmth through all these 1's and 0's. I did dig in to the chocolate, am planning a nap today and had a cup of my fave tea last night and will probably goof off to a movie somewhere today. :-)
To Lara in Oregon - you are so funny. I do struggle with money envy alot and it's lame. I have enough to get by. It's not like I'm starving or anything!!!! And I can even buy yarn which, let's face it, as much as we addicts have our problem, it IS a luxury. Nevertheless, nice to hear that someone else has their money woes, too. At least it's not so sticky, sweaty today.
To Wendy - Your blog is so amazing. I guess it's cuz your knitting is so damn good. :-)
To all who've been asking..........the JANIS tank piccies soooooon. I swear.
One other knit note: over at Knitty, where they have their best issue yet...........I ended up finding this group blog and designs and just feeling rather blown away by their fiber finesse. I am sooooooooo punk in my....er....style. (read lack of finishing and lack of patience technique.)
HOLIDAY
I will be leaving next week for a trip to Vancouver to hang with Bam's mum and dad. (Yes, they're English but they emigrated to Canada many years ago.) I probably will not have much access to cyber land while I'm there ...........so forgive me when this blog goes blank from July 20-28th or so.
Well, I must deal with some reality and make coffee and just try to get crap done.
Just a note that clicking on the link to WendyKnits in this post got me a batch of pop-up ads and not her website.
So is it the good kind of abducted by aliens feeling? Like when you were a kid and spun around and around until you fell over? (okay, some of us still do this)

There was a tv miniseries last week called The 4400. A whole bunch of folks disappeared over the years and then one day just reappear on a mountainside. Were they abducted by aliens? We assume so. Now those folks were really outta sorts. Here's hoping you feel earthbound soon.
And have a great vacation. I am jealous!
I love Vancouver!!

I had twilight zone music playing in my head while reading your post... Are you ok?

Yikes! Do we get to find out at some point what the alien abduction is about??!! Call me nosy . . . :-)

So now I'm dying of curiosity. Not even a hint?

You can't keep us all in suspense... do tell what happened.
