Feb. 28th, 2006 01:31 amAUGH GROMMETS SUCK SO BAD.
Seriously. Any sewing project that has "ball-peen hammer" on the materials list is, for the record, ONE TO AVOID. I am going to be like a WEEK with these fucking grommets, oh my GOD. I mean, it will theoretically look awesome when I'm done, but I have to hammer in like 20 goddamn grommets before I can find that out. CRAP.
Fannishly (it occurs to me that I have not talked about anything remotely fandomy in a while. Oh, except that BSG post, but my point stands) I realized today why I always get Billy and Teddy mixed up when I talk about the Young Avengers, even though I know perfectly well who they both are. My thought process went something like this: first, I realized that, yay, comics fandom has a Ted again! sure he's blond and relatively laconic, as compared to his more high-strung, dark-haired boyfriend, but-- oh, wait, THAT's why I mix them up! Billy ACTS LIKE A TED. And therefore I apparently think *he* should be named Ted, and his boyfriend should have a name that starts with a B.
Shhhh. It makes sense if you're me.
Oh, and I think I have a urinary tract infection, which, ew, but I got those cranberry concentrate pills and they seem to be helping, as I no longer feel like I have to pee every five minutes. I wonder if that's what being pregnant feels like?
