Hey all, Theriophile Girl here! Just posting to say I have come up with a brilliant hobby that really takes my mind off things at hand. I have officially discovered Amigurumi!! It's a really nifty crochet technique, that I actually find extremely satisfying to do, especially because everything that seems to be made is friggin' adorable! My buddy, Jackie, showed it to me in an attempt to get me to do something productive with my life, because I have no job. So if any of ya'll have an Etsy or are following Badger Momma's Etsy, you can expect to see something about it real soon. As in within a couple of weeks :)

Whoo Crafty Fixes!!

9. Abortion: for or against it?

Depends on the situation.

As a form of birth control...no. If the mother's life/health is at risk...yes.

10. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?

No, I think if the right woman was placed there, we would be just as successful as any other time a male did it. If not more.

11. Do you believe in the death penalty?

Yes.

12. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

I really don't care because I don't use it. There would have to be age limits like with cigarettes and alcohol. But I don't care either way.

13. Are you for or against premarital sex?

I'm alright with it. I just don't think you should get loose with your sex life.

14. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

(I agree with most of what the person before me said)

Yes, I do. Why should someone not have the same rights as someone else when it comes to marriage. To me, marriage is about love (don't even bring up the Bible)...and why shouldn't someone be allowed to marry the person they love, regardless of their sex?

15. Do you think it's wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

Yes. If they want to be here, do it legally. Everyone else has to.

16. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

No.But I do think that the age appropriate for going into the army, and buys cig's should be raised to 21. I know first hand of too many people to abuse the system as it is.

17. Should the war in Iraq be called off?

Yep.

18. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?

No. I honestly think that if someone really wanted to commit suicide, and not just say it to get attention, then they'd do it. They wouldn't tell anyone, because chances are that person will try to get them not to, and they would just do it. Assisted suicide though... I'm not sure.

19. Do you believe in spanking your children?

Yes, if nothing else works.

20. Do you worry that others will judge you from reading some of your answers?

Not really. And there's nothing I can do about it anyway.

Monave New York giveaway

The Five Fish is having a great giveaway for a Monave New York gift set. There will be 3 winners, lucky ducks!

Welcome

'Welcome to the blogging world' is the first thing that comes to mind when I look at this blank page. I've never really been into writing my thoughts out for everyone else to read. For some reason it tends to make me feel empty. But ever since I began to watch my mom do it for her crafty fix, I began to see it in a different light. It doesn't have to be a journal of your feelings or of what you've done that day, it can also be a way to connect with people, make new friends you'd not have had before, and to express yourself in your own individual way. It actually seems somewhat fun. Mom, some of you may know her as Badger Momma, seems to have only good things to say about this environment.
So, with that thought being said, or written, I've decided to give this whole thing a chance.
