Sometimes I think Tobias and I could be true shorm. A shorm is a deep friend, someone you never lie to, someone who knows all your secrets. The word shorm means “tail blade.” See, it’s supposed to mean a person you would trust so much they could put their tail blade right…

Day 14: What’s the worst yarn/fiber that you’ve...
Once upon a time Lion Brand Yarn made a worsted weight acrylic that had all of the bad qualities of Red Heart and only one of the good - sturdiness. Not realizing what fresh hell I was unleashing on my fingers, I grabbed it from my mom’s stash (which is huge and primarily ancient and acrylic for various reasons). I think when I’m done with what I’m making with it I’ll use...

Fibro "Fun" Fact #10
entropyandflux:
fibrosupport:
Patients with FMS have lower pain thresholds, than is seen in the general population. The mechanisms most likely responsible for the low pain thresholds are the central nervous system, not in the peripheral nerves or muscles. The number and severity of tender points, and the severity of FMS symptoms are directly related to the degree of additional body distress.

Day 13: Do you have yarn that you love but can’t...
Yes. It is BRIGHT TEAL and bulky and a little bit thick-and-thin and has bright splashes of other colors mixed in with it, and it’s so soft… But what am I going to do with something BRIGHT TEAL and bulky? Idk.
And that is why it is still in the store and not in my hands. And people say I don’t have self-control. Psht.

14. Tell us about a time you met another asexual,...
So one time, there was this one person in my class who I pretty much never spoke to but I thought ‘hey that person looks like a cool person to get to know, why am I so socially inept and completely anxious? This is really annoying, actually.’ And then that person turned out to be ace, which I found out via a group thing without which I never would have talked to that person ever. And...

Day 11: Do you have a “Crocheting Hero” or someone...
Um. My great-grandma could knit, crochet, sew, quilt, maybe spin, and continued to do whatever forms of yarncraft she could long after she went blind. I’m not sure she was doing anything in the last year she was alive, but she was up there at the 100 years old area, so I think she had an excuse.

Doing this real quick because I need to be awake in four hours and asleep now.
Okay, so. The most accepting person I’ve come out to, I’m going to assume for this question’s sake, is the person who took the least amount of time and asked the least amount of questions and accepted it as fact and truth.
Which makes it the boyfriend of my best friend/sister-type person. He was...

coolmoniker:
There’s something I’ve seen from time to time and I’d like to address it, albeit in a rambling, storytelling manner. I am not known for brevity.
Before I was outed as asexual, I had mentioned to my friends, years prior, that I was asexual. It went over without comment so I believed that it was…

^ Folks on the asexual spectrum are definitely invalidated by the GSM community and straight folks alike, but it’s really on an interpersonal level that I don’t believe is actually supported by institutional systems of oppression that would warrant being sexual in itself a privilege. Plus, I think the...

I love singles. All singles. All of them. I’ve loved any and all I’ve ever worked with and I just.
Singles are my favorite. No regrets.

I may have been waiting for this question. Just maybe. I’m also going to interpret ‘said’ (and maybe once ‘[my]’) loosely, because I’ve been out for six years and wording is fuzzy/some of this I heard later/broad strokes hit targets, intended or not.
From the top yet in no particular order:
My asexuality means I’m suicidal.

Project Gutenburg has a wider — and better formatted — selection of public domain works, IMHO.

And if you like sci-fi or fantasy, there’s the Baen Free Library. It has a small selection, but one worthy of mention.

Day 8: What’s your most challenging project?
Right how, it is Supernova. Seriously, this afghan is going to be awesomeness blanketified, but right now it’s just annoying me.
Ways in which Supernova has tried to thwart me:

Caused me to have to...

9. What does being asexual mean to you?
This question confused me as much here as it did when someone asked me in person using the same words. My initial response it seems will always be ‘-insert textbook definition here in a slightly confused voice that assumed you already knew this?-’ and thus reveals my over-fondness for specificity (sorry roomie, I know it’s a banned word, but it has the specificity I needed <3)...

Day 7: Your least favorite?
My mom’s Christmas present, which is a grey cashmere cowl/infinity scarf/thing. The original pattern I had picked out for it was fine for the yarn, but the one my mom picked after I frogged the first (which was starting to come out weird) could definitely have used more stiffness and body, in my opinion. Maybe more color too. I don’t know. Haven’t taken pictures of it yet, maybe...

8. Do you believe there should be asexual pride?...
I think pride should be taken in being asexual, absolutely. I’m not sure that I can imagine it as one lone thing or concept, though. We have the flag, and there’s the black rings too. I like both of these symbols and have adopted them, and I know that other aces use more symbols, like an ace of spades or whatnot.
For me, asexual pride manifests as feeling wholly comfortable and...

I’m thinking my favorites were the mittens I made my dad for Christmas this year. Seen here on my much smaller hand. It has a lot of firsts for me: first color change, first pattern alterations, first post stitching… Made with Lamb’s Pride bulky so he can get lots of wear and work out of them.
