Behold, the power of Teh Qte: When we featured the custom pet portraits of Valerie Leonard, cuteologists swarmed her site — but many wanted a more affordable way to enjoy her creations. And Valerie delivered, with a series of “Animal Ancestor Portraits” note cards, including a set of four holiday cards (sample below). They’re historical — and hysterical, so check ‘em out.
Newbie alert!!

Hi all! I have to start by saying all of your little creations are so fabulous! It makes me want to make dozens of them and place them strategically around my house :D
Any who, I haven't crocheted since I was 13 or so but I picked up Creepy Cute Crochet today because I HAD to have some of these little guys about. Now, I realize I'm much more than a bit out of practice, but my poor little groom looks quite....special? His head is bigger than his body and as far as I can tell he's inside out, lol. Needless to say he looks nothing like the pictures :/ He's all fuzzy and warped and generally pretty roughed up lookin'.
I've done a little digging on youtube for some tutorials and intros and such, but are there any other places online that would have vid's you'd recommend? I don't want to give up on these, but maybe they just aren't my forte...
Also, do you have any yarn brand suggestions? I went with Lion, and although it works well for me for making hair falls, I can't seem to get it to work how technically should :/
Thanks so much! (=^-^=)

WOO! I rock the wordcount. I got the 2500 words I wanted, and I got to do a meaty scene torturing one of my characters. *eg* Torture, it's what's for dinner! There are things I need to tweak, but I'll do that later. For now, I've got what I wanted on screen, and that rocks my socks off.
I actually think that I could/can do 2K a day when I've got the story in my head the way this one is. This story has marinated for a year, at least, and that's probably too long. I think the next novel I'm planning to write (the rewrites of Blood of the Chosen) may have the same "long marinating time" issues, and thus I can probably write it this fast, too. New stories? Not so much-- but these two, that I've lived with so long, I do not think this speed is hurting them. *sage nod* I don't think NaNo is for every project, and I am starting to know when it's a good idea to do it and when it's not, but I definitely think it helps when you've got a project that you need momentum for.
Now I get to go watch Cats 101 (we recorded the one that was on last night) with my hubby after I put aloe on my sunburn. It's the little things that make me happy. :D
The updated wordcount:
28075 / 50000 words. 56% done!

I'm not sure if asking questions is allowed; my apologies if it isn't.
I'm trying really hard to find this video on Youtube ... this girl is holding (what I think is a) tiny kitten, and she says, "tough guy! gonna eat you up!" and then the kitten mews and she laughs. I'm not even 100% sure it's a kitten, but I'm fairly sure it's a little gray one.
Help? It's almost like a song stuck in my head.

I've had three (real-life) friends tell me that if they had to do things over again they would choose not to have children. They all three have grown up kids although one had another child in her forties and now has a nine year old. They weren't wishing their kids away or anything, just simply stating it as a fact.
I was pretty flabbergasted - but in a good way. I know plenty of women who are not natural mothers - my own mother included. Not bad or bitter or resentful by any means, just clearly not interested beyond the basics.
Have any of you guys had friends say something like this to you? What was your reaction?

Hobey-ho, I'm Becky. I'm twenty-one and have had stomach troubles for as long as I can remember. I am in the process of getting diagnosed as, well, I wish I knew. According to my bloodwork the parts that stood out were: Saccharomyces Cerevisiae 30.7 AB (ASCA) (IGG) and Gliadin Antibody (IGG) 11 H Value.
My doctor originally thought it might be IBD, but now he's leaning towards either Crohn's or Celiac. I've had a wide range of possibly related symptoms including joint pain (it happens two or three times a year, and it's completely debilitating), panic attacks during the times my innards are acting up, loose bowels, mucus, and general lousy times. Since last year, I've woken up to horrible stomachaches accompanied by loose bowel movements. I have tried to cope by getting up an hour or two before I need to be up so as to avoid enduring the discomfort in class. My only other major health problem is hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's).
My dad passed away last semester from a cancer that spread from his colon to his stomach. He was lactose and wheat intolerant as a child but...supposedly grew out of it. As I go through this, I'm cringing at the prospect that my dad suffered all that he did because he might have never been diagnosed for something vital. I swear, if it turns out that it all could have been prevented with a change of diet, I will be so upset with the way the world works.
Originally, I was scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy on December 16th (worst birthday presents ever), but an extremely bad spell for two days last week bumped me up to December 2nd. Now, I can't help getting anxious about it. This is mostly due to the preparation and a terror that it will trigger my panic attacks. Do people have any advice of how to manage the preparation? Did it trigger your other symptoms? Would you recommend changing your diet in advance? (Especially since Thanksgiving will be right before.) The nutritionist I met with on campus said it shouldn't be worse than what I've already been through, but the doctor claimed it shocked his patients. Even if I'm going to have to do it no matter what, I'd feel better if I could mentally prepare a little.
I'm already stressed by how it's happening in the middle of the week (if I time it right, I should avoid missing classes, but this assumes that recovery time doesn't take any time like the doctor promised me). This also means I can't do the preparation in the comfort of my own home. Luckily, mom's promised to come up to my college and get a hotel so I can stay with her, instead of trying it out in the public restrooms in my dorm. (Also on the bright side, ever since I got that bloodwork done, my mom's finally taking me seriously and not brushing aside my health concerns. I swear, not everything wrong with my body can be attributed to PMS.)
Sorry if this shows up twice for some folks, I'm double-posting it at another community for Crohn's among other things.

My reproductive choice =/= your business
Posted byyushi_chan in childfree on 2009.11.15 at 15:05
I am currently feeling a little frustrated at people's lack of TACT when it comes to other people's reproductive choices!
My cousin (who is a little over 30 years old and have been married for 2 years) posted on her facebook yesterday on how she passed her exam and also finished a game. She talked of how happy she is to take these two things off her 'to do list'. Then out of NOWHERE...a friend of hers commented with this:
"So when is the having a baby going to be on the to-do list?"
Wha...wha....?? How is that even RELEVANT???? And then this conversation ensues...I added some notes in between with ( ) to clarify some stuff.
Cousin (who doesn't want kids): Now that truly will require divine intervention.
'Friend': ermmm .. that, u hv to seduce John (cousin's husband).. no divine intervention will required
Cousin: You think?
'Friend': well...you don't think so?
Cousin: look how long it took us to get married... everything move in turtle speed... (aka it's a bit too soon even if she does want kids...which she doesn't)
'Friend': that was cos' the 2 of u were physically apart (They were in two different provinces when they were going out).. now that u're living in the same house, there shld be no more excuses
"Excuses"? "EXCUSES"???? Who does that person think she is?! Why does my cousin need EXCUSES to not have a kid, or not have a kid yet! Why is it her business!!
I couldn't help it and added in a comment
Me: Jackie, I say take your time! There's no pressure~ Enjoy your time together as a couple alone. Though I plan on doing that forever, as I am childfree (do no want kids).
=) Kids are a choice, not a must.
Cousin: Try saying that to my dad... I am feeling the heat.
Me: Jackie, I can imagine how much pressure you must be having! But you know, despite other people's comments, in the end this is YOUR life and YOUR choice that they have no part in. Never give in to pressure with decisions as big as this, whether is its 'are you having kids' or 'WHEN are you having kids'. I'm already feeling a bit pressure on my side but I am not budging XD
Hopefully that'll help take off a LITTLE bit of the pressure of her back. She's being pressured so much ever since she was married...by her parents, in-laws, friends, all pestering her to have kids because she 'isn't getting any younger'. >=( She doesn't even want kids, she wants to focus on her career. But either way, people can sure be rude and downright personal when it comes to other people's choices >=(

I knew "Twilight" fans were, well, insane. But, I didn't think they were this crazy.
Twilight star Robert Pattinson says he worries about being infected with HIV when adoring fans approach him with open wounds and ask him to suck their blood.
Pattinson, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in the series, has revealed he genuinely fears for his life when fans mob him in the street.
The 23-year-old actor laid out his concerns to promote a new biography ahead of the next Twilight film, New Moon, which premieres this week.
"People ask me to bite them and want to touch my hair," Pattinson told the News Of The World.
"I just don't want someone to have a needle and give me HIV and I don't want to get shot or stabbed."
Pattinson recalled one time where a group of girls approached him bleeding from scratches they had just opened up on their necks.
"They were like, 'We did this for you' … I didn't know what to say — 'Thank you, guys?'"
Pattinson said he feels vulnerable at big film events such as premieres, where he could be the target of an overly obsessive fan or even a terror attack.
He admits struggling to come to terms with fame since the release of the first movie, which grossed more than $350m worldwide.
He has difficulty coping with so many people trying to "ambush" him in public and at home.
He said he has come to accept the attention, but would be prepared to give away acting away for his first passion — music — if the fans ever became too much.
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainmen
But remember, comic book fans are the obsessive ones.
I have to say, I feel bad for this guy. He signed a contract without reading the books, had no idea what he was getting into, and now he's under contract. He's since gone on record publicly expressing hate for the character, books, and calling the author insane.
Actual quote from the guy:
It gets better:
"...when I read [Twilight], it seemed like I was convinced Stephenie [Meyer] was convinced she was Bella and it was like it was a book that wasn't supposed to be published. It was like reading her sexual fantasy, especially when she said it was based on a dream and it was like, 'Oh I've had this dream about this really sexy guy,' and she just writes this book about it. Some things about Edward are so specific, I was just convinced - I was like, 'This woman is mad. She's completely mad and she's in love with her own fictional creation.'"
Wow...
Robert Pattinson should write a book about how much he hates Twilight, and then that can be made into a movie... and Kathy Bates can play Meyer.... well, it'd be a sequel to "Misery" but it works.
