Making Friends.

Hey, How's it going? I haven't been here in a while. Sorry, I've been knitting. What you say? I know it is trendy, but I met some ladies and they knit. Damn, that peer pressure. It wasn't my fault exactly. I ran into the exchange pilots from England, and a friend I knew from Oklahoma (small world, weird story, stick around, I will tell it later.) The Scottish woman (from Engalnd, another long story) is like a master knitter, she started talking and I kept nodding, because I only understood every third word. So, now somehow I am knitting... The group is hilarious, half of them are tipsy, half are sipping lattes. Those of us sipping lattes formed a Bible study, I kept my Baileys to myself:)

I really like it though. It keeps my hands busy, and from checking facebook, every 10 minutes. Because I could really use 10 minutes without reading about how much better, and or worse your life is than mine. Not that I don't love facebook, but I am pretty sure it may be a soul sucking pit.

I've also met some friends on the spectrum side of the fence. They are very serious people. Half are talking law, the other talking science. I discovered jokes about autism, and or albinism, are not funny in this crowd. But they seem like good people to know. Baileys helps with this group as well.

I agree about the soul-sucking element of Facebook.

The knitting sounds nice. Too bad about the serious autism moms. There must be some ones out there with a sense of humor. I enjoy the support groups where you can talk about your child licking the floor or smelling strangers and laugh about it. I'm willing to sit through a lot of serious stuff as long as some of the time is spent hearing other people's crazy stories.
