What to do with no camera? Meme!

So, my camera is very, very dead. I thought it might have been the battery, so I bought a new battery. Alas, it is not the battery. It is the camera. It is dead. So, no new pictures of knitting – although Ravelry is mostly updated with old photos, so go there. But because I wanted to blog something (and also, I know you were all desperate to hear from me), I am stealing a meme from Nathania.

(Disclaimer: I did skip a couple of the questions, because I can.)

1) What’s your first name?

2) What’s your favorite food?

3) Where did you go to school?

I would like to say at this point that my undergrad school is Randolph-Macon Woman’s College. There are no photos on Photobucket. There are other reasons (*cough* it went co-ed *cough*) that I am choosing to claim Georgia State (where I got my Masters) instead.

4) What’s your favorite color?

5) Who are you listening to right now?

6) Favorite movie?

7) Favorite book?

Favorite Disney princess?

9) Favorite drink?

10) Where’s your dream vacation?

11) What’s your favorite desert?

12) What do you want to be when you grow up?

Technically, I would like to be a statistician for a baseball team. Apparently there’s no one out there who’s tagged anything on photobucket as “baseball+statistics.” Go figure. (I said figure. How punny of me. When you’ve stopped admiring my wit, you may continue. Ha.)

13) What do you love most in life?

14) One word to describe yourself?

Your turn – go!

Life on the Blogland Playground…

I’ve been tagged! Which is very exciting! Because it means someone has read my blog! (Or, at the very least, someone knows I have a blog – either way, it’s progress.)

Specs got me for the “7 weird things about me” meme.

1. I have an inexplicable desire to own a pet turtle named Pablo.

2. I am one of those obnoxious eaters who can’t stand for the different types of food on the plate to touch. As a result, I often find myself using three or more separate pieces of dishware in one meal. Also? I eat one thing at a time, in order of least favorite to most favorite, and I always turn my plate so that the thing I happen to be eating at that moment is directly in front of me. Apparently, I’ve always done this. Right, Mom?

3. I do not like – and by do not like, i mean HATE – to fly. (This is on my mind because I have to fly tomorrow. Wish me luck.) I would much rather drive for 42 hours to get somewhere. And yes, I realize that this is statistically irrational.

4. When I was very small, I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. This lasted until I changed my goals to become a Dallas Cowboys player. Why Dallas? I have no idea – I can’t stand the Cowboys.

5. The sound of people filing their fingernails just about makes me nauseous.

6. When I set an alarm, the digits in the minutes have to add up to the digit(s) in the hour. For example, my alarm set for work is at 5:41 AM.

7. My favorite movie ever? The Cutting Edge. I even tried ice skating lessons once, but quickly realized it was not for me. I think it was one of the few things in my life I quit halfway through.

Now, I’m supposed to tag people. I still think I’m relatively new in knit-blog-land, so I don’t know if I’m going to tag someone who’s already played…or if the people I tag will even know! Oh well – c’est la vie! Here goes – I tag Leah, Sarah, Nuttnbunny, and Ashley.

Oh, and because this is a knitting blog, here’s a picture of yarn.

Specifically, Classic Elite Skye Tweed for Ester – I’ll be casting on this weekend on my trip. Stay tuned to see pictures of the Top Secret Graduation Gift after it’s unveiling…
