Current Projects

Ug. I guess this goes hand in hand with the "Ambition" post.

But it always feels like I have at least 10 projects going on (as in actually on knitting needles) and at least double that of what I have planned/want to do!

Right now I have:

1. An endless granny square afghan (purple hues - an on again, off again love affair)
2. A seemingly endless wool sweater (which has been hibernating in the closet since forever)
3. A smattering of small projects (including chap stick cozies)
4. Fingerless gloves for a belated x-mas gift
5. Fingerless gloves for a birthday gift
6. Hat for belated x-mas gift

And that's just the short list

Ambition

Why is it that I always want to do more than what I can do? AND that I still think I can do it all?

I dont know. It baffles me.

Animagus

I was researching blog topics one day (included in that search was writing and journal topics as well), and this was one of the topics: What kind of animal would you like to be and why? It made me think of the Harry Potter series and a select few in that reality that could change themselves into another animal/creature.

In the past I gave this topic some thought and came up with a short list of different animals I might enjoy being - real and possibly imaginary.

Here's my short list:

1. Ladybug
2. Bear (either Grizzly or Brown - mood depending)
   
3. Otter
4. Griffin
5. Phoenix
   
6. Fox
7. Giraffe
8. Hippogriff
   
9. Jaguar
10. Kangaroo

Some of them (those beyond #5) were some that I have thought about in more of a fleeting thought than anything else (the top 5 are the top 5 simply b/c they're the ones I think about the most).

I would say that the Ladybug and Bear are almost interchangeable in terms of personal preference. I've sort of had a fascination with ladybugs pretty steadily for ages (it would be apart of a tattoo if I was going to get one) and the bear - but a little less.

I dont know if its possible for someone in Harry Potter's world to be able to change into more than one animal (from what I understand, it's hard enough to be able to change oneself into ONE thing to begin with). But heres to wishful thinking.

Worldly Travels

I wish I had the chance to go back to Greece again and to see more of England. While I'm in England, it would be nice to see Ireland and Scotland to boot.

It would be fun to spend at least a month in each place I go (roughly 5 months including travel time). Getting to explore a specific region more in detail.

I hear CouchSurfing.com is a website to find inexpensive lodging. Granted, I've never tried this website nor do I know how "safe" it is. Though a couple people (indirectly) greatly recommended using this site for one reason or another. Also, I dont know if it's limited to one continent or if its international.
