Ahaha... NaNoWriMo.

NaNoWriMo Day 1: ~4 pages, 1,908 words. Not bad for the first day.

...Of course, I also haven't gotten any of my homework done or anything... but shhh. That's what November's going to be like.

It's NaNoWriMo flist... so I need a good distraction. So... what's up? How's about this- comment on this post with something. Anything. Anything completely random. The first thing that pops into your head. And we'll have a conversation about it. Because we can.

...Just do it. For me? Please?

I'm learning to crochet very small things, with thread. I want to move on to lace, once I get good.

I can't find anyone who cares, so I'm kidnapping you.

Really? That's actually pretty cool. Is that how you make lace, or...?

[anemptycagegirl.livejournal.com]

Technically, lace can be made in a million different ways - in its purest form, it's done with just a needle and thread - but you can crochet it, too. Right now what I'm doing is really small, really girly stuff. I'm trying to make some sort of a wrap/shawl, like something really small and lacy that you can wear around your shoulders with a formal dress, but I'm not really sure. I'm not really good at it, yet.

Well, it makes sense that you're not, if you only just started. That's pretty amazing though, if you can make it that long... that would be pretty intense. I used to try to crochet... but I forgot how ages ago... and then I did it with a regular crocheting needle and yarn... I wouldn't have had the patience for anything else.

Oh, honestly, I like it better with this small stuff. It feels less trashy to me, and I can make a small motif in five to ten minutes' time, and then I feel accomplished. With bigger things, it takes forever.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. I wouldn't really know- I've never been able to finish anything of the sort- I'd be all motivated at first, but then I'd get bored with it, and then I'd find something else to do...

[anemptycagegirl.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm honestly amazed I've managed so far.

If I make something brilliant, though, you want an exciting, super-classy Christmas present?

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

Wait, seriously? Because I actually really love stuff like that- it always looks really classy~

Mmm, I still have to figure out what I'm giving you for Christmas myself...

[anemptycagegirl.livejournal.com]

Seriously. Tell me what you want and I will learn how to make it, because you are an awesome friend and I have never in all of the years of knowing you given you a present except when I bought you a paid account, which hardly qualifies.

[arthoniel.livejournal.com]

That absolutely qualifies as a gift... but thanks~ I honestly don't know though... maybe something to wear around the neck? Small, but classy...
