Election!!!

Well, the new president for the United States of America is Barack Obama. I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I mean, I don't think he'll be a bad president and ruin us all, but I don't know if he'll help. The thing is, I don't think anyone can really "save" us from this entire yucky economy thing. What I think is funny though, if Kerry had won four years ago, McCain would be being elected now. It really is just that people want to blame somebody, so they blame a party. Now don't get me wrong, I don't like everything Bush has done, but think about it. What would you have wanted him to do? He couldn't just not do anything, but anything that he would do would make people angry. And that's a tough situation. He could have dealt with it better, I'm not giving him excuses, but I guess I'm trying to understand. What I support is what a Republican should be. I want a smaller government that doesn't control our lives as much. Why should we even have to have laws legalizing gay marriage?? Are there any that legalize straight marriage? Why should we have laws about abortion? Shouldn't a woman who doesn't want to have a baby be able to stop her pregnancy? Do you really think someone who doesn't want that child will provide a good home for the baby? I don't know, I guess I'm just frustrated with people who refuse to think about situations where something could be good. But anyway. Knitting. That is what this blog is about. :D So I started a sock. A jaywalker. I'm really excited. I think I could reall get addicted to socks. They're really fun.... I'm already really excited, and I'm only just now starting the actual pattern..... but I cast it on on Halloween, because i wanted it to be in Socktober, even if I didn't finish it then, just to start it. Another thing. Apparently I messed up the clapotis pattern, so I'll have 18 dropped stitches instead of 12, but that's fine with me. Except for the part where I run out of yarn. Yes, I know. Bad idea. I bought 4 skeins. Surely that's enough I thought. Well, they're rather small skeins (I'm making the clapotis of noro) and so it's only 440 yards. dumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumb. Did I mention dumb? Okay. Wanted to be sure. Just for the regular clapotis you need 820 yards. And I'm making a slightly larger clapotis. Dumbdumbdumbdumbdumbdumb.......... But yeah, that's all that's exciting for now, I'm going to sleep....
