Oh. My. G-d!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!!!! I have 2 followers!!! This is all I have ever dreamed of for my blog, to have followers and people who comment on it. This is a very auspicious day in my life!
So here is a shout-out to my loyal followers/commentors. I love you guys!
Here is another shout-out, to melsyoungestsis......you are right it is good to find a fellow knitter, and it is extremely cool that I can talk to someone all the way over in Australia. I have always wanted to have like a pen-pal or something, so if you would like, melsyoungestsis, I hope we continue to talk over this wonderful invention called the Internet!!! There is a very good website for knitters and crotcheters, where you register, and then a few days later or something you are sent an invititaion to create your account. People can become friends with their fellow knitters, find projects, patterns, yarns, from places all over the world! It is Ravelry.com. I think you should try it out! I have an account on it, and to tell you my opinion, it really comes in handy when you are looking for a pattern but don't know a specific one, there are so many different ones. For instance, on Friday I was at my mom's office, because I was going to my friend's house for the weekend and my mom didn't want to go back and forth, and I was looking for a knitted tie pattern. So I logged onto Ravelry, went onto the patterns part, put in "knitted tie" and I found two really cool patterns and one pattern for a bowtie! It's actually awesome!!!
Now I ahve one more shout-out. I am at my friend's house for the night and I'm using her laptop. She wants her laptop now to use, so here goes with the shout-out to my one voter!!!
Toodles!! Gnite!!!

Rethinking My Name
Just to clear things up a bit, i am not rehtinking my real name, just th name I use to sign my blog posts and stuff. right now I use my real first name, because of what my teacher pointed out to me, how I have nothing tohide so why shoudl i use a fake name? Well, I'm thinking fo different nicknames, because they're more fun to use on a blog than my real name, so tell me what you think rate it 1 to 10 please:
-sassy bird
-sassy chick
-little miss sunshine
-purple princess
-sweet knitter
-sassy knits
-sweetie bird
I am willing to do any of these names without the spaces in etween the words. Please leave comments on which you like most. Or rate it 1 to 10. The voting results will be posted when i get them. Whichever name gets most votes will probably be the one used. Uch, I don't know why I felt the need to say that!! I'm sorry. I probably made you feel really stupid just now. Please don't take it personally. It was my bad.
Until then!!
Toodles!

Posts and Ties
Gosh, I'm writing so many posts today! I am in a very author-like mood right now. I'm not really sure why. Maybe later I'll be in a very different mood! Who knows?
I just finished looking online for a knitting pattern for a necktie. men's or women's, it didn't matter. it's just that I have always wanted to try knitting one, so I figured that now was as god a time as any to look for a pattern. I actually found 2 patterns, and I might just try both of them. One pattern is called the "Party Tie" and the other doesn't really have a name, but the woman who mad eit wrote that she wanted to make her husband a funky tie, and this is what she came up with, so I named it the "Funky Tie." (not very original, but what can you do?) When I'm done, I'll post pictures so people can vote on which they like better. That way everyone is involved!
At the moment, my mother just walked in, and saw me writing this. She, being her curious self, asked what I was doing. I decided to eb totally honest with her, and I told her I was writing. (Very honest, right? But it's true! That is what I am doing. It just isn't the enitre truth.) Continuing being her curious self, it was inquired of me "Are you writing on a blog?" "Yes." "Who's blog is it? Do youhave a blog?" "Yes, this is my blog." "Does anyone read your blog?" "No, no one reads my blog (at least not yet)." "So why do you have it? How do you know?" "I have it because it's fun, and I knwo because there is this thing called 'Following' which is what you do if you like the blog and want to continue reading it. As of now, there are no followerfs on my blog. It's as if no one likes it!" I hope that's not true. I like to tell my self that people are just having trouble figuring out how to be a follower, or that they are just having trouble finding my blog, because when they were going to become a follower their computer shut down from a power-outage, and they can't seem to relocate it.
Anyways, as I was saying. Right now I am in the middle of a lacey scarf. The pattern is called "Feather and Fan." As soon as I am done with the scarf, I will post it along with the pattern.

*NOTE TO SELF*
DO NOT FORGET TO POST PICTURE AND PATTERN FOR "FEATHER AND FAN" SCARF!!!
I believe that self-reminder will do its job quite sufficiently.
Adios amigos!!
Toodles!!!

WOW!!!
I am actually really impressed with myself! I knwo this is weird, because my blog had a different name justa few minutes ago, but I decided to change the name, because I like this one better. Even though the old one, "Tickle Me...I'll Laugh" is really true about me. I hope you like this one better too!
WOMEN'S RIGHTS! WOMEN IN COMBAT!
I am at my mother's office right now, working on my social studies essay. The topic I am doing is "Should women be allowed in combat in the U.S. army?" Well, so far I ahve read 3 or 4 websites, and they all bring up good points for why they should, and why they shouldn't.
One article brought up how in the israeli army women are allowed in combat units. Also, they can get promotions. In the United States army, things are a little different. First of all, there is the issue of the Army Phiysical Fitness Test. You are required to do a certain amount of sit-ups, push-ups, and a 2-mile run. Men and women are both judged equally on the sit-ups, but women are based on an easier scale when it comes to the running and push-ups. This already sets us women apart! Women happen to be shorter than men. This proves a problem when a woman has to carry out a wounded soldier from a battlefield. Women soldiers can carry wounded soldiers up to a certain weight. After that weight is passed, many of them end up dragging the other soldier. This has nothing to do with them being a woman though! If one was to look at the Israeli defense force, women are treated thesame way as men. They are allowed into combat units and can be promoted. Why can't the U/S/ do the same? Many women would like to be promoted to general or another position of honor like that, yet they are uncapable. And all because they can't be in combat units. In the U.S. army, you have to have been in a combat unit in order to be promoted. This is very unfair to women!
Another website I found had the opposite view. The author wrote about how having women in the army at all cancels out the idea of men protecting women and children from harm from their enemies. I guess this guy has a point.
I have to go finish typing my essay, so i'll finish this later.
