First on the agenda:
I FINISHED MY SLYTHERIN SCARF!!! Yay! The first two pictures are my almost willing and excited models respectively. Lol, imagine that. Xena (that's my dog's name) doesn't like being dressed up, even if it's just a scarf. However, my brother loves the scarf and just wishes it were in different colors. :D
Oh, yes, and the shirt my brother is wearing is the same one he wore when we went to see the new Batman movie later that night and he said when he was there that his shirt was a bit blasphemous. Magz got why... and I think I sorta get it... but not completely. Not really that important, but I figured I'd mention it.
Oh, yes, and seeing as I've finished the Slytherin scarf... I've started on Ravenclaw (for Sarah). This is my progress so far though I plan on working on it some more tonight so it won't look like this for much longer. :D
Oh, and this is just a picture of my slytherin scarf on its own. I love it! It's so warm (so I can't use it right now but it'll be nice in the winter!) and also, I love how professional looking it is. I need to find my tags so I can put a tag on it that says "From the Knitting Needles of Samantha Hintz". My mom got me those for Christmas last year. I couldn't wait to use them and now I finally do and I can't remember where I put them... Probably 'somewhere safe'.
And the final piece of news literally just happened. On my way home from work today, I got in my first fender bender. And it was completely and totally NOT MY FAULT! I was leaving Dundee and I was at a light, in the lane to go straight. The light turned green, the person in front of me started to go but then decided he wanted to turn left (even though he wasn't in the left turn lane) so he stopped. I stopped. The person behind me didn't stop.
I was freaking out and didn't know what to do. So I went through the light and pulled over to the side of the road. I was hoping that the person who hit me would pull over too and I almost thought they weren't. But she did. It was an older lady, way too talkative. Wouldn't stop saying sorry and saying that it was the car in front of me who was at fault (which is technically true, I suppose). So anyway, I called my dad and asked what I should do. There wasn't any real damage done as far as I can tell. He told me to file a police report anyway. So, because I felt weird calling 911 for a fender bender in which no one was hurt, I called Subway to ask the two cops who were eating in there when I left if they could come do the report.
So, one of the cops (named Officer Jordan) came by and dealt with everything. Strangely, I just thought of something... When he was done, he told me that technically he didn't need to file a report because there was no visible damage but that he would because it was me. I just realized how odd that is. It's not like we're really friends or anything... he just comes into Subway. *shrug*
My best guess is that it's because just in case there's damage that isn't visable right away, there will be a report that I can show the insurance company.
Anywho, I'm fine, my car's fine so it's not even really a big deal. But you know me. I freak out when it comes to things like this. Knowing the cop really helped though. If it had been some random cop I think I may have died from hyperventilating or something.
Let's see, any other news...
Sarah got the job as a music teacher or whatever!!! YAY!! That's doubly good now, because one of our best friends, Brandi, is moving back down to Tennessee. Now that Sra has a job too it means that we'll both actually be able to afford to visit her sometimes. :D
Anything else? Hmmmmmm...Oh, well I'm currently reading a suggestion from Sra on FF.net. It's a series with a character named Danger in it. It's pretty good actually. Though there's a lot of Mary-Sue action in it... It's tolerable though. I've finished the first story. It's called "Living With Danger" by "whydoyouneedtoknow". That is actually the name of the author by the way. I'm about halfway through the second one now, I think. It's called "Living Without Danger". These stories have Hogwart's Founders, a werewolf tamer (Danger, Remus' wife and Hermione's older sister), Harry, Hermione, and Draco living as siblings, pairings include Sirius/OC (Aletha Freeman), Remus/ OC (Gertrude "Danger" Granger), Draco/Luna, Neville/OC (Meghan Black, Sirius and Aletha's daughter), Hermione/Ron (I think. There hasn't been much of this yet), and Harry/Ginny (this is just starting to show up). The story also includes: hiding from the ministry, then Sirius being ruled innocent, animagi up the yin yan, a pack and a pride, prophesies up the yin yan, Seer Luna, Seer Danger, music, wizard Dudley, evil!Nott, quidditch, denning, etc.
Most of that probably made no sense to you but if some of it sounded interesting, try reading the story. Search for it on Fanfiction.net. There's a link to FF.net in my links area.
Now, considering the fact that Sarah's the only person who usually ever reads this... this entire post was worthless because I just talked to her and told her all of the above. However, if someone else just happens to read this... Wow. Let me know, just 'cause I can't believe that anyone else would ever read this. :D
I think that's everything :D
