5:35 Mid Tuesday Evening I feel Close to Him Again But I've been thinking a lot about Steve lately. I should send him the letter I wrote. I acquired the first 7 (original) Sailor Moon books. The whole lot was $10.50. The catch? They're original. in Japanese. The only thing I can read is "Se-ra V!" ...which I always say out loud whenever I come by it, by the way. Caleb and Caleb's brother at home both took Japanese in high school, but Caleb's absolutely useless at it. haha. Sharon is taking it right now and she's tried to help me but we ended up just making up what we thought was happening. good times. Oh, I was like, 3 cm of stitching away from finally finishing my skirt when the tension went out and the machine went bung. ah well. hopefully i can fix it today. ----------------- 10:40 p.m. Sooo....pretty much all of my sewing machine problems can be attributed to the fact that i can't thread them worth beans. Hahaha. I felt like such a dick after reading the manual and seeing i'd been threading the danged thing all wrong. Oh well! However, about a foot from finishing touching up the edge on Sharon's new skirt (just a line of stitching to keep the fray at bay), the foot pedal stopped working. I'm pretty sure that's not the threading's doing. haha, and then i touched the cord to see if it had fallen out, and it went absolutely nutso! I won't go into any more boring detail. I am boring. I've spent the rest of the evening at caleb's back, reading Aldous Huxley while he worked logic problems in an effort to study for tomorrow's exam. Finished exercises are rewarded with kisses.
