Competitiveness

I have been competitive most of my life.  Nothing gets me going as much as going for the win.   Our team is the smallest but I figured if we all went for the 100 point dissertation for a large three month project, we would be in the running but we all must do in.  Got shot down today when one person blythely stated...no dissertation.  What a sinking gut feeling....  But I know this Nerd Wars is mainly just for fun.  The moderators state so..but then there are people like me on other teams and some teams filled with those who push themselves.   

Surrealness

Now I realize just how fortunate I am to even be on a team.  Over 75% of applicants in Nerd Wars got their first choice but some got their 3rd, 4th choice or even did not make it onto a team.  I suppose I am a bit bummed because the enthusiasm within the team I am on is so much less than on my first choice team.  But I'm going to work with it and do the best I can.  The team captain has only posted ONCE for goodness sake's!  I feel she should be out there encouraging us and getting up the team spirit.  Hopefully she is just resting and waiting until the start on June 1st to be more communicative with us.

As a Christian, it is surreal to be a team member with a real life Lady of the Night.  In this person's country, that occupation is legal.  And she seems like a nice person from her posts..so I will just ignore the occupation then.

Nerd Wars

http://deliciousstitches.blogspot.com/2008/01/lace-panel-raglan-pattern.htmlWell, as much as I'd hoped to get onto Team Hellmouth, it did not happen.  I am now a proud and willfull member of Team Bite Me!  And I still can incorporate my favorite Buffy verse vampires...very much of the good.   Just have to hurry up and revise my dissertation plan.  Maybe I can use the sweater I picked as being for Pam from True Blood as she likes to wear pink/lavender.  Originally,  I'd planned it for Dawn,Buffy's human sister, which won't be acceptable for this group.

Easy Summer Tank

Buffy KAL ideas

So psyched!  On Ravelry, I joined Nerd Wars and hope to be a member of Team Hellmouth which supports the universe of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I am a huge Spuffy fan!  The site linked can give some ideas of items to knit.  Currently rewatching and getting ideas.  One woman wants to knit kitty beds to support the poker kittens.  That's an allusion to the currency of kittens used by the demons in a poker game. 

Nerd Wars

Lately, I have not been really satisfied with my projects.  In fact, I have felt downright incompetent because of all the frogging done.  But whenever there is set deadline, I seem to have no problems rising to the occasion.  Recently also, started a new business venture which means less time to devote to projects.   Between my full time, training for the part time business, karate  and other geeky interests, the time for knitting/crocheting has decreased significantly.  However, always can devote the half hour before I get out of bed and the hour before going to sleep to knitting and crocheting.  Just slower ..that's all.

Anyroad (yes, Lennon fan here), Nerd Wars is scheduled to begin 6/1/11 and I am in on a Buffy related team.  Probably small projects due to my time limitations.  Currently thinking, patrolling beanies and a vampire themed pair of socks.
