Well, it's official. I'm graduated, and have joined the ranks of the working adult (*snort*). The day before the ceremony, my graduation present to myself (ordered a couple of months ago) arrived in the mail. You can veiw him here (You may need a Den of Angels account in order to see the thread).
I won't tell you how much I raked in from my graduation party. I will, however, tell you that I ordered a Mac Mini and a new printer (the printer was free, by the way, once I send in the rebate), so you can do the math on your own. Mac makes me squee.
So far, being Graduated isn't that exciting. Especially since I requested to start working 40 hours and am stuck with 18-25, which is exactly what I was putting in during the school year (that sinus infection? Totally a result of working 7 days a week for two months immediately after having my wisdom teeth out).
I started knitting again. I'm making a sweater out of the Spa yarn at JoAnns (is that Carron? I think it might be. It's bamboo/cotton/acrylic). I'm about halfway done with the first sleeve. Pictures when it's a little more exciting.
Speaking of excitement...I have none. See you when I do.

Call me Scarecrow
Has anyone seen my brain?
Things have been a teensy bit crazy lately. I've had a ton of homework, and with no real internet access at the house, it's been a little hard to do anything online. I do have studio space at school now, with a great connection, so things have steadied out a little bit.
I'm actually semi-caught up this week, since we had the remnants of Hurricane Ike sweep through and knock out power to five counties. We still had power, but the school didn't, so I got a three day vacation from school.
The other reason for my absence? Blame Alice. It's all her fault. She's an enabler, you hear me? A bad influence!
I started looking into Asian ball-jointed dolls a couple of years ago, but the price was a little bit of a turn off. Then, about six months ago, Alice starts looking into them. And listing all of these reasons why the price is completely reasonable. And thus, I've been haunting Den of Angels (think Ravelry for doll freaks), and ordered this little darling:
Her body should be arriving this week. The cool thing about BJDs is that you can customize them completely. Don't like the body? Order a different one. Want blue eyes instead of green? Well, you can order blue ones. Some people even dye, carve, and otherwise alter their dolls, or give them tattoos. It's really a lot of fun, and they are so beautiful.
