Oh yeah, I'm backspacekeyless. Let's just say that it makes noveling more interesting.

Outside the Comfort Zone...
Woah. I just stepped way outside my comfort zone. I'll start this story at the beginning. Every year we usually go to the Thanksgiving Eve service for the interfaith group that my Church and many other churches in the area belong to. The service moves from church to church every year. I wouldn't call it a very diverse experience, as just about everyone there is Christian or Jewish. This year, they changed the Thanksgiving Eve service to Sunday night, and my Mom thinks that there should be a Thanksgiving Eve service on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, not on a Sunday night. We ended up not going to that Thanksgiving service. My mom stumbled across another, much more diverse Thanksgiving Eve service in the area. It was held at a Gurdwara (Sikh house of worship) I'd never been to one before, so that was interesting. there were people from many different religions, such as Sikh (Obviously), Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judisiam, Baha'i (ism?), Islam, and Native American. It was really interesting to see all these different traditions. Most of the prayers and such had the common messege of "One God. Be nice to people. Worship God." The religion that I learned the most about was probably Sikh. It was an interesting, new experiance, and I felt pretty odd to be sitting on the floor, barefoot in a place of worship. Apparently after all weekly services, the Sikhs have a meal, which was pretty good.
Things like this restore my faith in humankind. If we realize that all these religions belive things that are so much alike, we begin to question why we fight at all. We belong to the human family.

I found this cool little thing on the nano site.
This isn't the last sentence that I wrote, but it definetly reflects the erm..quality level of my writing. ""I'm just really good at remembering stuff. Most of that was from an essay that I read on the internet." Caleb smiled. hanging around such idiots made him feel very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, smart."- Fifty Stories to Tell at my Funeral
As you can see, someone will totally be in for the nobel prize for literature....any day now.

If you were at the tournament today, chances are you could mentally connect that sentence with something dirty, but I'd prefer if you abstain from mentioning.
Speaking of the tournament, I made it into the super session! I ranked 17th! Out of like 40 people! I don't think that's too bad for my first real match. My bill was destroyed, but that was to be expected. I probably would have ranked higher in the super session if I had actually given a speech instead of just asking questions, but I had very little research on the bills at hand, so I didn't really feel confident speaking about it. Oh well, I still think I did a good job.

I gots me some pictures!
I was reading Lolly Knitting Around, and marveling at all the pretty pictures she has. I took this picture a few weeks ago when I stayed home from school. Yeah. The trees have lost a lot of their leaves since.

You know, my last sentence involved the latest episode of Ugly Betty, and how I wanna be Christina if i grow up, and that's pretty embarassing, so I'm just going to stop here, take a shower, and bask in the fabulousity of my new handwarmers. Toodles!

What? This girl knits?
So, I've just finished a fabulous semi-secret project! It was really quick to knit, would take about two hours or less if I'd had a two hour block of straight knitting time. The pattern and one picture are ready!
Materials:
Size 11 needles
Any worsted yarn. I just used some black red heart super saver from the stash
Cold hands (or a friend with cold hands)
Cast on 20 stitches with yarn doubled
Knit in garter stitch for 28 rows (around six and a half inches) with yarn doubled
Bind off
Sew cast on and bind off edges together, leaving an about one and a half inch hole for your thumb
Make second mitt the same way. Go type, knit, or just chill with fab warm hands!
