And I'm dazzled by the techno-savviness of the crochet-community, who are twittering, blogging, and conducting e-commerce.<br /><br />I don't remember what happened with my lunch! It would have tasted like defeat ;)<br /><br />Louisa: Thanks! Trips down memory lane are less painful when they're lined with yarn, I guess :)<br /><br />i cant sew: Thanks Rosey! I'm glad that <A HREF="http://www.symondrake.com/2009/06/crochet-rocks-thanks-to-woo.html" REL="nofollow">b for burton</A> kindly sent you over! :D <br /><br />I'm sure you'll add crochet to your already long list of creative skills! I remember getting insanely frustrated when I couldn't loop yarn onto the crochet hook.

But if she is keeping in character with her ten-year old version, she won't be trading words with me :D<br /><br />As for providing properly written patterns, please stay tuned! I've been studying patterns lately. Why are there four different ways of writing a crochet increase or decrease? :D<br /><br />Julie: Thanks :) I bet the original Julie is enjoying a successful jet-set lifestyle with a partner who isn't a starving crochet artist haha<br /><br />JenGoPop: Did Facebook-friending your old crush bring everything back to healthy reality?

It's good to know that accidentally waving to a stranger is a shared embarrassing experience :D<br /><br />Sharona: hehe Thanks for your faith in my yo-yo tricks! I have a feeling Julie would suddenly become a far superior yo-yo trickster! :)<br /><br />Renee': I'm glad you like the yo-yos, thanks! I found a <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRb9PONMeLY" REL="nofollow">youtube link</A> to the 1987 song, <I>How Ya Like Me Now</I>, by Kool Moe Dee. That could be the official soundtrack to this sad tale hehe<br /><br />Wren: Thanks! If Julie does read this blog, I'm sure she is sighing from relief that she kept her distance ;)<br /><br />It was hard to find a plaid shirt that resembled my 4th grade wardrobe. I must have wanted to be a cowboy. I also revisited the <A HREF="http://birchland.sd43.bc.ca/Our+School/default.htm" REL="nofollow">same school</A> as a backdrop for these new photos, and it was a trippy experience!<br /><br />mochaxlight: Those memories of elementary school crushes are so vivid, aren't they? My niece had yo-you fever a couple years ago too... I guess the craze returns every decade! Just like mohawks? ;)<br /><br />lovely little deer: Thanks! :) You look far younger than I. Maybe craftiness & childhood-embarrassments preserve youth? :D<br /><br />Yoshi: I'm glad we're all familiar with the mortifying experiences of being a kid-with-a-crush! Thanks :)<br /><br />Kathy: hehe I agree that she didn't mean any snub. And if she saw me running away, I would have been the snobby little boy running away from her. I wonder if Julie blogs? haha Thanks :)<br /><br />taffyyarn: Yes, that would be awkward! :D I wonder how long you've spoken with someone on the cell phone before discovering they were no longer on the other end? :)Howie Woohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797015012363795975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788959362283659665.post-14838784385199468002009-05-29T19:48:24.545-07:002009-05-29T19:48:24.545-07:00Waving back at someone who isn't waving at you is...Waving back at someone who isn't waving at you is a little bit like talking away on a cell phone to someone who has "lost signal" (if you know what I mean.)taffyyarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577440629765563468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4788959362283659665.post-56995184072675951662009-05-29T19:36:49.963-07:002009-05-29T19:36:49.963-07:00I don't think she meant to snub you at all.
