So I was on Craigslist looking for work, as I like to do when procrastinating. Then I go to the For Sale section and check for yarn, because I like to do that. I have told myself many times that I will not buy any and that tempting myself is simply a test of character and most of the stuff is ugly, old, or overpriced. But then I see a listing for $5 Lorna's Laces sock yarn in downtown Seattle. I mean really, what am I supposed to do, resist that? Telling myself that of course I will give the yarn as a gift and not horde it to myself in my dresser of yarn, I e-mail the poster. I get a call less than a minute later saying "Hi, it's Kia." In my head I'm all what the crap, that's weird, the only Kia I knew was in high school and I haven't spoken to her in ten years. But yes, it's the same Kia and she is selling yarn on Craigslist and I am going up to meet her tomorrow. This all just goes to show that willpower is overrated and yarn brings people together. Seriously, yarn is cooler than Facebook.
In non-serendipity news, spinning is stupid. Writing papers is stupid. Sewing costumes is stupid. I'm going to focus on the yarn.
