frosh descending like shadflies
Shadflies:
A bit about shadflies for those not in the know. These things descend on Brockville like a plague for a week or two every summer. You have to use the windshield wipers to get them off your car. Sort of like how you have to push frosh kids out of your way to get anything done at York anymore.
I appear to have started a crocheting/knitting club at York. Want to join? I have actually been thinking about doing this for a long time, but then I realised that official York clubs have constitutions and treasurers and presidents and I am not interested in that. I just want to crochet things for homeless people. Of course, I also want to sell some stuff through the club to raise money for yarn for crocheting for homeless people, so maybe we are in need of official club status. I think we can get around it though.
I accidently informed Chris that crocheting is also known as hooking ("crochet" is a French word meaning "hook")... which makes me a hooker... and leads to puns like "hookers do it with chains." I must watch my tongue in the future. He teases me enough already, there's no sense giving him more ammunition.

You're a hooker everywhere, too. The subway, the street, over the internet...
You don't know how gratifying it is to find someone who likes needlework AND Trainspotting.
Knitting kicks crochet's messy loopy sloppy butt, though.
shadflies...when i spent a summer in North Bay....they were BRUTAL! They are the cause of most accidents in North Bay for they make the roads immensley slippery.
The frosh kids...they make me feel old...sigh...
Start a crocheting club! I wanted to start a pirates club here at Brock..there still is time for me to do that....
blah shadflies...I agree with Sanda, North Bay is disgusting when the shadflies hit(i grew up just south of there)...haha heatherann the hooker.
