Good Bye, good luck, and new beginnings are ahead of us now.

I finished Twilight! Well, I actually I finished about a week ago, but I finally got around to posting it! It was one of the best books I've ever read, I'd put it up there with Harry Potter. On to New Moon!!

Today I finished my first sweater for myself! It's a Hardcore Cardigan by Ryan Marnell. It's really cool! I have a link to the pattern on knitty.com. I found it when I was looking for a real nerdy cardigan pattern, you know like the ones they used to wear in like the 50's. So them I found this pattern and i though it was extremely cool and that I had to knit it because, "Cool Boys Knit."! So be sure to check it out!

P.S. I'm wearing it right now, by the way.
Have you ever broken a bone? If not, what's the worst injury you've sustained?
Yes I have broken a bone, actually two, thanks to the turtles at the X-dojo. I broke my left hand, thanks kid with no control, and my right thumb, Thanks Wes.
The funny thing was that when I broke my thumb when the doctor (military) took the x-rays than they (the health clinic) said that they where not sure weather or not it was broken so they said to come back in three months and then they would take a new x-ray to see if there was any bone build up, and then they would know weather or not it was or wasn't broken. Then for an other injury my physical therapist was looking through my x-rays to find the one of my back when he saw the thumb x-ray.
he said, "Oh, it looks like you broke your finger," then I said.
"Yah my left little finger," then he looked confused and said,
"No it looks like your thumb."
Okay only in military heath care will the radiologists say they don't know and the physical therapist who was treating an entirely different thing just glance at it and know it was broken! (it actually was broken)

I got a new kitten! =D
I used to have a cat a long time ago that I loved very much and when she passed away I was very reluctant to get a new cat. You know, it's one of those "if your boyfriend dumps you, you don't want to go and get another one the very next day" sort of things. But maybe that's a bad analogy since I don't think any of us have ever had a boyfriend? (We're just too cool for that stuff.) Heh heh... But anyway, you know what I mean? Getting a new cat was the last thing on my mind.
But while I was away at camp my Mom's boss found this kitten that was dumped and tried to get my Mom to adopt it as she (Her Boss) already had many cats. My Mom was also reluctant to get a new cat (just because that's how Moms are) but when her Boss got the kitten ALL its shots, food, flea medicine, etc. with her own money, she couldn't refuse!
So it was a big surprise when I came home and found a kitten on my bed.
But it turned out to be a good surprise. I'm glad there's a cat in my room again. =^.^=
...
I named her Mali after the country in Africa. NOT to be mistaken for Molly. I never liked the name Molly. But MALI is totally different. And totally cooler. ; )
So yeah, if you actually read that you'll be pleased to know I will post pictures of her ASAP.S'all for now! =] =]

I got back from summer camp! Obviously. But I won't talk about everything I did because that kind of stuff tends to bore people. Heh heh...
Oh! Happy (late) Independence Day!! Yeah! America is now 224 years old. Wow, we're such a hip, young country. ; ) I would have posted this on the 4th but my cousin and I stayed up really late drinking Monsters and watching Titanic. Heh heh... Yeah...
So how's everyone been? I haven't talked to anyone in a while...
Well, ta ta for now! =]
