So I went to the theatre tonight with a guy. We were walking down Sixth Avenue after dinner and we passed Macy's. I wish I had my camera with me because you're not going to believe me when I tell you that they already have a giant Christmas Tree. It's only been October for about 2 minutes when we're there, and already, a fucking Tree.
We were pretty appalled by that. I was not surprised, but not thrilled, either, when we got to his place and told me that he "wasn't interested in dating" at the current moment. Story of my life. I just wish I didn't have to get up early in the AM so that I could be knitting right now; I think it'd make me feel a bit more upbeat.
Funny how metal sticks and lucious fiber can take your mind off of things...
Posted by Jon at October 1, 2004 12:49 AMWow, a tree. That would make my skin crawl -- I wrote last week about how I got the big "Christmas book" from a mail-order retailer. Ugh. I know they're trying to be all "plan-ahead" helpful, but it really is just annoying.
Condolences on the breakup. Luckily, your knitting is always there for you. It's so soothing for me, too.
Posted by: Ann at October 1, 2004 08:08 AMKnitting helps me to relax and forget about things as well. During hectic days at work I will sometimes calm myself by knitting a few rows while sitting at my desk.
Posted by: D R E W at October 1, 2004 12:08 PMa tree? omigod! I would have started yelling at the window, I swear, which might explain why I was essentially single till I was 35. Sorry the guy wasn't interested, but that frees you up to date other more emotionally available material. Dont lose hope or get discouraged because I do firmly believe that people to love land in our lives at the wierdest possible moment, when we least expect it. (and usually when we're not ready for it.) LOVE the poncho! can't wait to see it finished, even if it is hungover!
Posted by: gaile at October 1, 2004 01:00 PMI completely agree with the power of knitting as therapy. I had a difficult morning at work and all I could think about was getting a little lunchtime knitting in to get myself back in shape for the afternoon. For me, it's something about the magic of little stitches coming together into something wonderful, something I'm in control of.
