identification...

Blogger has recently added a new feature called Stats. As the name suggests, it tracks what type of systems and what type of Internet browser has visited in the last whatever - the last two hours, las day, last week, last month, or ever since June. (I guess that's the farthest back they can track... or that's the first time they can tell that anyone's actually read it, since I've had this blog since last February).
So, for example, I know that from the 19 people who have visited the blog in the last week, 10 were on Windows and nine were on Macs; six visited from Safari and six from Firefox, while five hits were from Internet Explorer and two were from Chrome. Cool, yes? The only problem is that it won't let me not track my own pageviews, so I account for at least some of the Windows hits. My only question is: who's on the Mac(s)? (if you are who I think you are... HI! If you aren't... HI ANYWAY!)
Anyhoo, in addition to my attempts to identify the Mystery Readers (whom I would like to know, by the way. *cough*comment*cough*), I also have found the time to be SUPER psyched that there's an early release tomorrow (which means I can get some legit writing done. It also means that my mom is making me get a haircut and that I have to finish my English project. But those aren't important. Okay, yeah they are.)

knits :D

I got my second-ever knitting commision yesterday! Hooray! I'm not sure whether to actually call it a commission because, since it's for a friend, I'm doing it for free. But I still consider it a commision because she asked for certain colors and width of the stripes and stuff. I'm making her a pair of black and white fingerless gloves. YAY!
For the record, yes, I'll knit you something if you ask me too. And yes, I'll probably end up living in a hole if I keep knitting stuff for free. (I don't know about you, but living in a hole doesn't sound that appealing.). But I'm EXTREMELY psyched for this because it's the second time ever that someone has asked me specifically to knit something for them. The other time was in 7th or 8th grade. Funnily enough, that time was for a pair of fingerless gloves as well. Strange how these things work out.
Anyway, still no news on the yellow scarf. I still have to set up the Etsy account, however. And figure out a good price for it. I've been asking around, and so far, two people have said they'd pay $20 and one person said they'd pay $5. And I'm saying I have to do homework.
