clap-o-tee and bothersome people
c'est finis.
was finished frantically on the plane to manchester, NH and in the back seat of the van to the hotel in MA in anticipation of ACTUAL SNOW. It performed lovely... warm and smooshy as a scarf, yet stretch-out-able to cover yourself when you are freezing in an auditorium where people don't seem to notice that the COLD AIR is blowing directly on you.
---a bit of complaining... feel free to ignore this!---
So at the beginning of this year, after the tsunami and all that, I gave. a bunch. to several large organizations. who now have me on the list for every damn thing they do. I'm now a "member".. ??? for a $25 total contribution? wth? I managed to email them in time to get myself off their list they sell- I hope! they will spend more than $25 in their attempts over the coming years to get more money out of me. Ain't gonna happen. Note to charities: only pester people who give "real" money- over a few hundred at a time at least! my measly contributions might add up, eventually. if you stop calling me and mailing me crap about how you need more money. Ugh. I like giving money, but don't need updates on every little detail. I always feel so bad for saying no, too. but uh, student loans, wedding, car, house?
Also, to the wankers who keep calling me and sending me mail about refinancing that student loan? Guess what!?!? I graduated at probably the best possible time. There isn't a chance in hell you could get me a better deal on interest rates. LEAVE ME ALONE! Is a phone message telling me an 800 number to call really gonna change my mind? Does this work for anyone?!?
To the people who send out victoria's secret catalogs? Um.. I order online. save the trees and all? how can I stop from being bombarded?
And finally- UPS? you suck! and companies who upgrade shipping without really telling you. I thought it'd be nice, getting a package overnighted. Only, we're not ever home when the ups dude comes. Requiring me to sign for a package means I won't get it. which is why I didn't WANT overnight! thanks anyhow, but apparently my new shoes have been sitting in the apartment office for the past week, no notice to me. thanks so much.
next up, a happy update on rogue. after I finally get some sleep and some healthy food. (had a rough trip -consumed lots of filet mignon when all my colleagues insisted on eating solely at seafood restaurants.. now I'm needing something not beefy.)

clapotis is starting to take over my life, and i think i'm just gonna let it. it's coming along nicely on the thinner yarn... i wish i could take artful pictures like you, but in my cluttery house, i haven't found a suitable place to do so for this one yet.
