There must be something in the air. First I notice Kat with all of her quiz results, then there is Amie and her quiz results, then I find mzundercover with her quiz results. So I have to do this one too.
So here are my results:

You appear to be a Knitting Guru. You love knitting
and do it all the time. While finishing a piece
is the plan, you still love the process, and
can’t imagine a day going by without giving
some time to your yarn. Packing for vacation
involves leaving ample space for the stash and
supplies. It can be hard to tell where the yarn
ends and you begin.

What Kind of Knitter Are You?

Okay, so I had to take it twice. I had two answers on some of the questions, so I guess I’m a Knitting Guru with a Knitting Purist streak. :)

You appear to be a Knitting Purist.
You are an accomplished knitter producing beautiful
pieces with a classic feel. You sometimes
lament losing half of your local yarn shop to
garish novelty yarns. Perhaps you consider fun
fur scarves the bane of knitting society and
prefer to steer new knitters towards the wool
and cotton blends. Some might call you a bit of
an elitist but you know that you’ve been doing
this craft long enough to respect the history
behind it and honor it with beautiful piece
that can last a lifetime.

Oh, what to write? I should write something. I’m tired, it’s grey outside and I want to be home curled up on the couch reading. After three days of no headaches, I have a headache starting. This is so annoying! The whole row of us at work (three of us) have all had headaches for the last 10 days. It could be the weather and it just turning cold or it could be other things. I wouldn’t be surprised if the air in the building has something to do with it. I didn’t want to take any Excedrin today but looks like I might have to.

So the election is almost over! Yeah! I usually enjoy the election season, but this year it’s really getting to me. I can’t stand hearing about the polls and they say it’s so close, which makes me very nervous. My mom has said if this Bush Administration has been bad, what will they do when they don’t have to worry about running for re-election. Our country could be in shambles financially, environmentally and whatever else they can mess up. Today on NPR they mentioned dealing with Cuba and I said to Bryan, “Are we invading Cuba next?” What is the Administration going to do, invade every country that disagrees with our policies? How about negotiating, it’s worked for hundreds of years and war is NOT the answer!

I’m reading a really interesting book right now, The Secret History by Donna Tartt. At first, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. It’s about a college student and he becomes part of an exclusive group of students who all study Greek and the Greek classics with just one instructor. It’s really interesting to get to know the characters, but I’ve just been along for the ride thinking it’s a book without a lot of action and more about the narrator’s development as a person. I could tell there was something boiling below the surface but wasn’t sure what. The book kept me interested to the point that it kept pulling me back, “like you know something is going to happen, you just don’t know when, so you should read more.” Then in the 70 pages that I read yesterday, I realized that there is a lot going on under the surface. I don’t want to ruin it for anyone, but now it’s getting really good. At first, it seemed like it was taking me a long time to read a few pages because the pages are long (lengthwise) and the type is small but in the last several days as I’ve really gotten into it, it seems to be taking less time to read a page. This is Donna Tartt’s first book, it came out in 1992, I think. I found it in a BookBrowse interview with Audrey Niffenegger, the author of The Time Traveler’s Wife, one of my absolutely favorite books! By far my favorite book that I’ve read in the last year! So when The Secret History was one of her top ten books, I figured I had to read it. :) I’m tracking my reading of The Secret History on my Recent Reads page. It’s a new page that I created to record what I’ve read and am reading. I figured, I have my current listening page, why not a current reading page. :)

I’m starting to work on my application for Library Science grad school. I sent out my requests for transcripts yesterday and will be sending the forms to the people writing my letters of reference tomorrow. Next week, I’ll be interviewing a library director for one of my essays. We’re supposed to interview a library professional to talk about issues related to the library and information services. It should be very interesting. So things are really gearing up. I hope to have my application sent in before the end of December! Then it’s just a matter of waiting for three months to find out if I get in.
