Menace to Society
Have you ever thought about the duality of some relationships? For example: you can get along well with someone on a social level, but when it comes to any kind of collaboration, you both tend to be mutually bent on ripping the other person's throat out using your respective bare hands.
It's a Multiple Personality Friendship (or Acquaintanceship), folks, and while it's a roller coaster, at least you're always secure in knowing that while your Collaborative Relationship is in ashes at your feet, you can fire up the old Social Relationship and grab some tapas or something...
***
In other news, I'm concerned about the number of How To books I've been collecting. I just bought Stitch 'n' Bitch today and it covers basically the same stuff Knitting for Dummies did. And all that Debbie Bliss stuff too. My stack of writing how-to's is hefty and what is this all amounting to?
Good: A Rough Draft (admittedly has been collecting dust since 30 Nov)
Bad: Two half finished scarves and a hot pink piglet torso (knitted of course) lying around the house aaand collecting more dust.
***
Finally: I set aside this time to work on my First English Assignment Ever but ended up getting frusterated because I'm still new to poetry and still take it literally. Once someone gets me started on brainstorming, I'm golden but until then: writer's block.

PS: A shout-out to Ken, our brand new, orange-crush-orange vaccuum cleaner! Yesterday Joe and I got a Thank You Note from Lynda at Sears that said, "Happy Vaccuuming".
Happy Vaccuuming, Indeed, to one and all!
