Tell Me Again, Why Am I Here?
This is the question I have been continually asking myself for the last 7 hours.
Why am I here when I could be at home knitting, working on the oh so cool thumb for my mittens (now that I know how — Thank You, Erin!)?
Why am I here when I have nearly half a pound of unspun Merino at home begging to be played with?
Why am I here, when clearly my time would be better spent working on the blog?
More importantly, why am I here when I could be at home playing World of Warcraft?
Oh, right. Money. Bills. Food. That stuff. I can’t remember if it was a personality test, or a horoscope summation, that said I tend to dislike the practical details of life. Maybe it was both. Whichever, it was right. I hate the practical details of life. Yes, I want a clean toilet, in theory. But really, does it have to take so much time to clean your house? Or go grocery shopping? Or rake leaves? Or balance the checkbook? Or, for that matter, go to work?
The stuff of life, it would seem, is determined to take time. I am beginning to suspect that learning to enjoy it all may be an important part of this whole contentment thing… Hmmmm…

Ok, I’ll tell you why you’re here. You’re here so you and I can laugh about Christopher Guest movies when we should be working!
But I share the sentiment. I’d rather be at home sifting through my stash to find my next great project!

Great to hear from you! Another knitter who plays WoW! Goodness me. I dont know why I didnt think they existed - perhaps I thought I was the only one crazy enough to cable while on a gryphon.
What server are you on? I’m on one of the central servers… starts with a g… garona or something (maybe i’m thinking of my sharona…)
I’ve got an undead rogue named Wedgey (my old eq name!) and a nightelf hunter named… umm… Thite. Well, I guess the chances of us being on the same server are slim… but I’ll keep an eye out for yah anyways!
Glad to have found your blog!
