urpdates.

so i haven't posted in a while because i keep waiting, hoping that i'll be able to post that i'm employed. i'm not, but other stuff's been going on, too.

• i've been looking for a job
• had one interview for a place that's very far away.
  
• the guy said i was awesome and i'd totally fit in there and there'd be dancing in meadows and copious drinking and laughing and all would be merry.
• i didn't get it because i live far away and would have to bike through kinda seedy parts of town late at night and he was concerned with my "safety."
• sigh.
• talked to a few places around where i live
• they aren't hiring
• i feel like a chode giving people my resume
• gotta keep on keeping on, i suppose
• chicago's amazing
• i've been trying to get out
• went to Beirut, which was amazing, as is the new album
  
• went to a bike workshop for girls and trans only, it was cool, learned about my bike, got to talk to some nifty bike girls
  
• i think i've been to every yarn store in the city of chicago, yarn is my friend
• dr. furey recommended some places to check out, i'm psyched about exploring, but still don't know how much i'll actually do before i get a job
• yay crafts!
• i finished my fingerless gloves, it took a little experimenting with the pattern though since i have freakishly long hands. i feel more confident about tackling some harder patterns.
• now i'm making a chain. it's a fun pattern and it'll be my first felting experience.
• knitting in public seems to be the most surefire way to get strangers to talk to you, short of having a small child or puppy. for once in my life, i like strangers talking to me.
  

i found out my mom's oldest sister has breast cancer. i think they caught it early, but it's still scary. we'll know more in a couple weeks. until then everyone seems mostly upbeat.

well, i'm off to a flea market type thing at a local venue. much love to all.
