And I love the bathrooms in Anderson Hall. The lighting is nice (which is good for the knitting) and the toilets are comfortable! Also I used the handicapped bathroom which is great because it is like your own private knitting room. It is spacious and has it's own sink, which you can use as a shelf. I use the toilet paper holder to hold my extra yarn, so the whole setup is just great for knitting.
Okay so I never finished this entry and it is now a week later, but I'm just going to finish now.
Today was beautiful. My favorite thing about the warm weather is the ice cream man! It's great to hear him on the streets again.
Also it seems that you find more change on the ground when it's nice out, I'm sure it's just because more people are out. But I sure have been taking advantage of it. The other day I found an change purse filled with all silver coins, it was just fabulous!
But today, was especially nice because I found the crafting section of the library, which really opened my eyes to all the things I need to learn how to do.
Such as:
welding
woodworking
embroidery
gem cutting
marbling
needlepoint
working with fibers
crocheting
weaving
oh and so so much more!
Which brings me to a book that I found amongst the craft section, Vegetable Soup Activities.
The book was not on Amazon but I found other links about Vegetable Soup, which is apparently a PBS show, and the book that I found is a manual for parents. When I was paging through I happened upon a chapter that instructs parents how to teach "Black American Slang" to their children.
They call it a "secret language" and list words like "groovy" and now I wish I could remember more, but they were all ridiculous.
There is the intro for the show which aired from 1975-1980.
So is this show as obscure as I think it is? I've never heard of it, but the intro was pretty cool.
Just one more thing before I end this.
I was sitting on a bench after class today and a guy comes up to me and asks if he can draw a me a characature. So I ask how much? And he says nothing. So I say okay, then he says he has to keep it.
First this seemed weird because he was wearing a seashell necklace.
Then most people wouldn't ask you if they can draw a characature of you, they ask "May I sketch you" or something like that. Right?
So he sits down and I ask him how he wants me to look. I meant to say where do you want me to look, but you know...
And he says "Sexy" and I say "I don't think I want this characature anymore" because that was weird. But he starts to draw anyway.
I ask him if he is an art student and he says no and then if he goes to Temple and he says no. He was so weird!!!!!
I was so annoyed with him by this point, and he had only been sitting there for like 2 minutes and then he says he's done.
And it looks like shit.
