Never commented before, but have been reading for a year or so. Anyways, I'm a social worker, and I try to teach my angry-for-good-reason teenage clients to think exactly the way you describe. In fact, you've reminded me to buy this poster for my office: http://portal.creativetherapystore.com/cts/cat/img/TCA-2_l.jpg

So thank you, and I totally agree with you on the cause of anger. I know it's true for me.

Also, you've got a swell blog here and you seem like an equally swell person. (Although I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that, it's always nice to hear.)

And I can imagine getting sick of looking at a project that takes so long to create…

Corvi: That's my big fear — that I'll have multiple WIPs languishing at once. I'm trying to force myself, already, to swear that I'll never do that, even though I see that most knitters do. :)
Just the word Usenet cracks me up and makes me think of the most epic, hilarious flamewars I've ever seen. It's like the flame rite of passage, isn't it?

M.R.: Aw! Okay, it won't be a quiz-quiz, then. It'll be easier and more fun. (But still narcissistic. It *has* to feed my ego in some way, y'all. That's the only thing that'll get me to the post office with signed books.)

CJ: Ha. Yeah… I could say that there are a lot of pictures of sallow-face-making FOs online. Or that there are a lot of "I Want That" people in the malls who don't shop at all. :)
But I think the other two categories were… like… experimental knitters? And I can't remember the other for the life of me.
I'm happy to be knitting now because there are only 4 colors on earth that I *don't* look sallow in, and persimmon-y orange is one of them. Hence the Vogue props.

Carrie: How about a contest where you get to knit me an orange sweater (one that amuses you, of course) and I pick my fave?

:)

I'm not assuming anything about who or what the first section of this post refers to, but I agree with it. I've come to the same conclusions in dealings with my ex husband which is basically the only area of my life where I am even capable of feeling anger anymore, I'm so evolved.
