Flamies tomorrow, recap on Wednesday (ish)

the Fibear: Well I’m a rather boring guy, 33 years old, living on the south coast of Massachusetts even though I still pronounce all my Rs. I have been crocheting for a little over ten years. Picture it, Plymouth, MA, New year’s eve. A young man sits in his apartment. He has no TV yet. he has read everything in the apartment at least twice, he’s watching the ball drop on the computer screen. Ain't that sad? He knows that he gets very fidgety without something to occupy his brain and his hands, so he runs (well, drives, let’s face it, I’m a fluffy man, not so much with the run) to his local walborg shopping center and picks up a “teach yourself crochet” kit. A legend is born.. a note: I have tried to learn knitting. I’ve tried several times. I almost gave myself stigmata with the needles. I do not try anymore. My health insurance does not cover fiber-arts related injuries. Stupid PPO.
