A College Post

I have to add a little addendum to my previous post:
I was switched into another dorm and thus have another roommate.  It is the dorm of my choice and my roommate is really nice.

I also have a question for all you gothy types out there... what are some alternatives to wearing skirts for the romantic goth/ neo-victorian minded person?  I have a few skirts but I don't usually wear them so I'm still getting used to them, but in the mean time I want to find some pants to wear.  I was thinking knickers and such but a girl can only wear so many black pants before it starts to look like you're wearing the same pants over and over.  I do eventually hope that I can get my confidence up to wearing cooler skirts and maybe bloomers but until then....

On another topic, I think I'm going to start a textile arts club at my college.  It would help people learn to sew, knit, crochet, weave, spin, and so much more.  I especially want to teach card weaving.  A great book to learn how to do it is Candace Crockett's book on card weaving.

 It not only gives you a history of the art but it also teaches you how to make cards, different ways you can keep the tension, and it gives a lot of patterns.  I really want to try the pattern that's shown on the cover of the book...it looks  so cool!  I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to do card weaving.

Again if there's anything you want to know or want me to post just leave a comment.

New Stuff

On a quick note, I apologize for not posting in a while.  I have been very busy with college stuff.  (I have a whole corner of my room taken up with stuff)

So, as the title says, this is a post about new stuff.
Item No. 1: A kitten!  My sister and her friend found a little kitten in the parking lot of a school and we brought her home.  She looks to be about 2 months old but the vet said that she is actually about 6 months.
Item No. 2: Decent make-up.  I adore the Bare Minerals brand even though it is crazy expensive.  It turns out that I need the fair foundation (yay!) and I actually have dark circles.  My mother and I both got the creme cover up stuff and I got the foundation that I need so I think I may be set with that for a bit.
Item No. 3: A laptop: My first laptop that's just mine and not a shared one (even though there are plenty in the house).
Item No. 4: Sims 3 Supernatural: Ok, so I don't actually have this yet, but I will when the 4th of September rolls around.  I squealed when I saw the trailer for this expansion pack.  I am so excited.
Item No. 5: My dorm and roommate:  I adore my roommate and, even though it isn't my first pick, I think i'll like my dorm.

Now those are 5 of my new things, feel free to comment some of your new things that you are happy for.


Lots of Love,
