Misleading Blog Title

I was just sitting here (on our new futon, how wonderful) knitting, and thinking about how misleading the title of my blog is. The name "Ladybugger" goes back over a year when I was trying to think of a name for my brand-new iBook so I could put it on the Bowdoin network. Since Jim occasionally calls me Ladybug, presumably as a friendly term of endearment, the computer was spontaneously named Ladybugger. Now that I look back, it really seems somewhat obscene. Assuredly, obscenity is neither intended nor pertinent to my lifestyle. Unless you'd like to think it is...

I'm going to the Common Ground Fair tomorrow!! I've never been, I think it really ought to be fun. I'm going to keep an eye out for some nice yarn to knit a scarf for my mom with, provided it's not excessively expensive. Which it might be. I went to Halcyon Yarns in Bath today to check out the selection. I ended up even more knitting-inspired than I have been lately, and I now just can't wait to knit. I've gotten about 5 inches done on the front of Jim's sweater, so now I have a back, a sleeve, and a significant portion of the front done. I'm going for done before I leave, we'll see how that works out. I'm hopeful.

I had dinner with Leah, her roommate Sara(h?), and Barry on Wednesday night. We had a wonderful time, and talked about so many things. It was really inspiring to be around adults with so many different interests. Especially those unrelated to science. I mean, I love science and all, but it's neat to be around people who aren't involved directly. Sarah is a poet, and Leah is an artist, and Barry has been my mentor and advisor for years. Leah showed me a poem on marriage from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran which I thought was really beautiful. I'm now reading the whole poem, slowly. I think it needs absorption, and I haven't stopped to absorb a piece of writing lately.

Jim set up a Fark Personal to find more friends. Now that we're all gradgitated, it's a bit more difficult to find friends. His in college were all manwhores, and mine were all psycho, so...we've whittled down our social lives to the bare minimum. At least I have Lisa (HI LISA!!)... Anyhow, Jim's personal is pretty funny, check it out. If you search for men seeking either men or women within 5 miles of 04011, you get 2 profiles, one of which is Jim's and the other of which is this boy who lived in my house last year and decided he was completely in love with me. His life would have been much better if he could only be with me, according to him. I refuse to confirm or deny his hypothesis. I just found it somewhat amusing that both the men who placed personals in Brunswick were/are simultaneously in love with me. I feel like such a heartbreaker. Ha.

Jim is now home, and photoshopping a photo of himself. He's making it look quite interesting, if not good. Just joshin, Jimmy.

Anyhow, I'm too obsessed with knitting at the moment to continue spending time on my computer...so...
