Ok. I've known about Etsy for some time and have been wanting to put some knitted stuff on there.
A few people have brought up that I should sell my stuff, but not in a way that inspired me to do nothing but burn all my knitting needles, yarn, and everything I have knitted or crocheted. (Some suggestions were like doing craft shows and commissions at local boutiques - all were valid ideas, I dont want to mass produce tedious, unfulfilling items just to make my time & effort worth while at craft shows, boutiques or other such places). For me knitting has become a fulfilling hobby and will only knit things that I have an urge to knit (I'm not really into commission knitting - will do it, but it'll have to pattern specific, nothing made on the fly).
With Etsy, I can knit things on my own time, and sell them w/o investing a whole lot of time (like at a booth at a craft fair - granted its a good way to network).

Knitting to a Different Hair Colour.
To start off. I've dyed my hair, again.
Yes, I even did my eyebrows.
I enjoy freaking my mom out. This is one sure way of doing it.
So, here's what I've been up to knitting wise:
1. Participating in Hat-Attack (an elimination competition that the winner gets $500 worth of yarn - I've been knocked out already, but I'm proud that I've lasted thus far - about 50% of the other people were knocked out before me).
2. Knitting birthday presents - a couple friends birthdays are coming up soon in October. The gifts are going to be hats in their preferred colour schemes.
3. Making a mojo for a friend to inspire songs.
4. Continuing to make hats for my 100 hat challenge.
5. Queing up assorted projects for Christmas (family's presents).

Dating.
I give up.
Plain and simple. The whole dating thing has eluded me. And it's not from any lack of interest on my part.
At this point, I give up and move on.

Oddly Exciting.
Ok. I have a YouTube account. My first video is of my loveable glove hat (and yes, it's named Jeffty Jeff Jeff).
Lately, I noticed that the video has gotten up to and surpassed 1,000 views!!! *gasp*
Seriously, the number jumped from a couple hundred (somewhere between 300 & 400) to over 1,000.

Opps! I Did It Again!
Ok, so I've pierced my ears.....again!
In case you're wondering, I have a total of 10 piercings, 5 in each ear.
Yes, those are my real ears.
Why so many? I say, why not! I got my first piercings right before 2nd grade. I was so excited about it. :) I had wanted to get my ears pierced for about a year when I finally got them done.
Now, how the holes grew and multiplied, didn't start until I was a freshman in college. I had asked my RA (who happened to be my next door neighbor, good friend, and only one in at the time I knew would have what I wanted) for a safety pin or a needle. Didn't explain why I needed it, just needed to borrow it for a short while.
About 1/2 an hour later I had returned it to her with 4 new piercings in my ear lobes.
She freaked out a bit b/c she's a bit squeamish about needles, piercings, blood and that sort of thing. Said I could keep the safety pin.
Eventually I had gotten 10 piercings in my ears, but ended up taking out two a little too early and they closed up.
At one point I even had my nose pierced as well but things didn't work out the way I wanted (1st one was a fish hook and I ended playing with the stud while I slept and the 2nd time I took the nose ring out a little too early).
I'm thinking of getting my nose pierced again. And maybe my tongue. But I don't know. I think if I do get either or both pierced, they'll get pierced a bit down the road.
