Everyone agrees! So, you have to admit it, too. 2006 was the Year of Suck.

Anyway, I didn’t personally do much for Christmas/Yule/stupid holidays. Mollie wanted a hat, so I made her one. And I made Jay a birthday card, and bought him some popcorn-in-a-bucket, ’cause he’s a Christmas baby. And I STILL haven’t finished Whitey’s scarf. but that’s what he wanted. But I got him a watch to hold him over til I finish the scarf.

I was interviewed for the local paper about National Novel Writing Month! It should be in the paper this Thursday, I think?

I’m also half-looking to give my ‘keets away. If they continue their good behavior, I might keep them. Vash’s constant screaming has been causing me a great deal of stress, and it can be heard throughout the house most of the time. I just HAD to get the one ‘keet that was a screamer! >.<

I sought help at the parakeet forum I frequent off and on, but they mostly say I’m not giving them enough attention. WTF? If I paid any more attention to them, I’d have to strap them to my face. But, I’ve tried to kick it up another notch or two, and finally added those manzanita branches, and loaded one with toys. They love the branches and I even half-taught Vash how to ‘whistle’. So for a couple days now, it seems to be working. But if it stops working, or if I just go into a coma from paying too much attention to them, then OUT to the curb they go!

But really, who knew that trying to ignore the screaming would make it worse? Seems to me that would give them the clue that they don’t get what they want when they’re doing that. Apparently with cockatiels, ignoring makes them stop.

Ah well.

Oh, <a target=”_blank” href=”http://resirem.com/funky/”>Funky Cat Studio</a> is being redone a bit. A friend sent me a camera so I can start selling my stuffs online. I started taking pics of everything I’ve made since my other camera died. I’m only writing this right now ’cause my batteries are recharging.

Speaking of photography. I did photos at HASL’s New Year’s Eve party. Photo Den donated the camera and equipment so I could print the photos on-the-spot. I want one of those photo printers! Iiieee!

But anyway. Here’s me, and a certain someone. I blurred her out ’cause its none of your business :-p
