Let's see that driver's license. <BR/><BR/>I think that is partially my problem; I don't cope well with some types of people and I'm way, WAY too passive-aggressive. So I just don't go back and they're happy and I'm happy and uh, knitting alone. The last group I tried was into the I'm-cooler-than-thou and I REALLY am not into that.<BR/><BR/>Hey, Zardra, I'm so glad you're joining 100-miles thing. Come on La, you know you want to. PEOPLE ARE POWER. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Seriously, I get a big charge knowing other people are participating, it's all kinds of inspiring. I have the craptastic knees so this will be entirely a walking/biking/elliptical-trainering 100 miles.Big Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13669587398699403481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16810556.post-1168045998565382662007-01-05T17:13:00.000-08:002007-01-05T17:13:00.000-08:00Thanks, Kmkat, those are some excellent mantras.

There's a cute little knitcafe that serves beer & wine as well as great coffee & tea, but Pami probably already knows about Mabel's. Mmm, beer.

I periodically think I should go out and find a group since I don't know anyone crafty at all and being a solo knitter can get lonely, but I have trouble paying attention to all the chatter going on that I end up sitting there and not knitting. And never mind the fact that I find alot of people annoying... I should probably work on that but sometimes people just drive me crazy and irritate the crap out of me. I'm not a bitch, I swear! :)Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026202921059151681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16810556.post-1167849842983734242007-01-03T10:44:00.000-08:002007-01-03T10:44:00.000-08:00I'll be interested to see if you find a new knitti...I'll be interested to see if you find a new knitting group. I attended several groups in DC, but since moving to Portland, I haven't ventured out. I'm lucky that there's a group that meets sometimes at work. I'd like to get out more though. I guess the first step in the hardest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16810556.post-1167846925619401692007-01-03T09:55:00.000-08:002007-01-03T09:55:00.000-08:00So when I come to visit my sister-in-crime-fiberph...So when I come to visit my sister-in-crime-fiberphile in a week or two, shall we three get together for a spontanous stitch-and-bitch? Pami and I feel the same way you do about the socialization of the genders. She and I are both, like you, carving out our own existance in an unapologetic, if sometimes lonely, way.

BTW, I did not consider it a rant (precious post), rather, it reminded me of too many painful times, hit a little too close to home...now approaching 56, it does not come up on a daily basis for me, but I am reminded of the issue(s) surrounded by teenage girls. Painful.<BR/><BR/>A happy and emotionally prosperous year to you!zoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17309459588974207604noreply@blogger.com
