Just Stop It


To the people who have found this blog through searching for "nicest butt contest", "stupid things I have done with my vagina" and (arguably the most disturbing) "Loonette the Clown Naked", just stop it.

I actually asked my husband if he went online at work and typed stuff into Google just so they'd show up in my stats. He said no, but he thought it was a good idea. He's a bit of a shit like that, which is one of the reasons we work, most of the time.

To the person who found me by typing in "fell down stairs butt swollen" I'm very sorry, it hurts like hell, and it takes about three months for it to get back to normal. Just wait it out. Or, you know, go to a doctor rather than trying to find out shit on the computer. I mean really, people.

Looks like I'm going to be without camera access for at least another day, which is annoying. I have a bunch of wool I've dyed that I'd like to sell but well, one can hardly say "I have nice wool, send me money" without pictures.

Coming up shortly will be four skeins (135 yards or so each for $9 a skein) of "black orchid" in worsted weight, 600 yards of aran weight ($40 for the lot) in "frog barf" ... I was going to call it Swamp Thang but I like Frog Barf better, two skeins of pale grey/silver/mauve in sockweight Peruvian wool ($16) and two skeins of superwash merino in Hairy Berry which is almost-black to claret to almost-pink ($30). There are also five skeins, about 450 yards, of very chunky in clown colours and maybe some other fun stuff too. I can't do the FTP thingie up and down to the sidebar any more, as I'm on Linux now and the original page is on my old hard drive, so I'm going to have to just sell it all here on the blog.

I didn't want to make this a wool sale blog so it's annoying the fuck out of me, but when you're pushed to the wall this hard you do what you have to.

I'm also going to be doing some destashing and I have about a thousand yards of Top of the Lamb by Brown Sheep in black for $25 plus shipping, four balls of Kureyon in two different colourways (I think 95 and 72 but I'll have to check) for $20 plus shipping and two balls of elann.com alpaca silk in peridot for $5 plus shipping.

If anyone reading is in the greater Vancouver area, I'm also divesting myself of tons of acrylic for 50 cents a ball and also a fair amount of cotton. There's no point in shipping it as it would raise the price beyond the original value of the yarn, but if you're around here and you do a lot of knitting for charity or for kids or happen to like acrylic, and would like some of either, please let me know at bunniegirl at shaw dot ca. I'm going to do an inventory of what I have but there have to be at least a hundred balls, and I'll deliver if it's in Vancouver, Burnaby, or on the North Shore.

Oh man, I hate being this pathetic. Wasn't this blog supposed to be about knitting and drinking and spinning and cussing?

Anyhow, I think I managed to sleep about five hours last night so I'm going to go crawl back in with the kid and get another four, should there be a deity who is listening. I don't usually sleep a lot but I have this stupid cold that everyone has right now and I think I deserve a treat.

Yes, I've gotten to the point where sleep is a "treat".

I promise I'll be fun again soon. No, really.

Honest.

Comments:
I would be interested in taking the Kureyon of your hands, if you can ship to the US. If that will work, email me: the_lady_emm(at)yahoo(dot)com.
 
I'd love to take the Hairy Berry off your hands, if it's still available! Trying to expand my stash beyond various shades of blue...heheheheheheh!

Sweet dreams! Hope you feel better soon.
 
woo, Rabbitch.
sending lovings.

And I so would've bought that Kureyon. Can I take the alpaca silk off ya?
 
You're still fun, even when you're feeling sick. Hope you got some sleep!
 
Hairy Berry sounds beautiful.
Hey, no problem, the blog's still about yarn. (The verification word is hbupr, which seems appropriate.)
 
Sorry if it bugs you, but I do think that were you to hold a butt contest, then your butt contest would undoubtedly be one of the nicest butt contests around.
 
just rest, rabbitch, rezzzzzzzzzt. nobunny deserves to feel like $#!+.

I don't know about you.. but to me "Stupid things I've done with my vagina" sounds like it could be the memoirs of a porn star.
Do you have a scanner that you could throw the yarn on so that people could get colorway ideas? I used to do that before I had a digital camera that was any good.
 
You know, my mother-in-law was raised in Vancouver, and on your best day, you're a lot more fun than she is...
 
No, no. On your WORST day, you're more fun than she is...that's what I meant. See, I'm a little sleep-deprived myself.
 
I'm curious how you know what color frog barf actually is.
 
I'm late to the party again, I see.

:sniff:
 
Jeez, really girl you gotta get things fixed so I can see the yarn and buy it! I might be very interested in the grey/silve/mauve stuff. And black? It's black, do you need to say more! The colour of half my wardrobe.
 
Hey I typed in "Loonette the clown naked"... Way to disapoint me.
