So I’m trying my hand at a scarf and I think I’m doing alright. It’s a really pretty metallic mohair blend. I’m in love. Knitting is absolutley theraputic—until I drop a stitch, then I want to strangle someone with my half-scarf.

So now I’m dating my best friend’s cousin. My best friend happens to be a male, and he happened to have a thing for me for a very long time. This is one strike.
This guy I’m dating is a Republican. I am not. He really cares about guns. I, uh, don’t. I think he’s a homophobe, and perhaps a racist.
He just got out of a bad relationship. His girlfriend sent me a very ugly email accusing him of cheating on her and also threatening my life.
He has yet to take me out on a proper date.
Strike. Strike. Strike.
I’m smitten!
Stupid but true: I avoid driving on the highway at all costs. I’ve always been in some kind of steady relationship, or at least since I was sixteen, and the guy always wanted to drive. Pair this with a six car pile-up on a Baltimore highway several years ago while looking at colleges, and I’ve never really been comfortable with highway driving. It’s something I’ve been meaning to do more of, and now that I’m single for the first time in my life, it seems like a good time for a road trip.
