LordSpleach Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Yes, it's American Football. The Superbowl is the final championship game for it, and the biggest sporting event for us in the USA. A lot of parties always goes on that night. Me and my roommates had a party at our place, and we were happy because our team won it. 1 Quote
*Jess♥ Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 congrats! I understand how you feel because Wales won the six nations rugby last year. unfortunately this year they lost to Ireland. Quote
river_chaos Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Yeah, the Superbowl is Football (not Soccer; Football is a hell of a lot ruffer). The only other event that I can think that rivals the Superbowl is the Olympics. I was secretly cheering for the Ravens too. Don't tell anyone XD Quote
LordSpleach Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I find Rugby ruffer because it's bone to bone contact. Quote
river_chaos Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Hmm.... *quick search on YouTube* Yeah, I'll agree with ya Spleach. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Unfortunately, in the UK, American Football is looked upon with derision because people say they are basically playing rugby but they wear armour because they are afraid of getting hurt. Well I am sure those guys would be excellent Rugby players if they chose to give it a go. English Football is pretty pathetic though, I watch them running about and one guy might catch the other one on the leg a little bit and he'll roll on the ground crying. can't stand it, even though it is the most popular sport here. Rugby is the only team sport I will watch because it holds the essence of the Welsh man. Quote
river_chaos Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 Oh no, we're not afraid of getting hurt. We wear the armor because of how serious the injuries can get in a Football game. Last I remember, it was said that Football players tend to get more injuries than any other sport for men. Yeah, soccer's not very popular here in the states too. I guess we Americans perfer to see the players tackle the hell out of each other. Quote
river_chaos Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 I have begun to notice that people tend to listen to me a lot for whatever reason, from advice to information for school work and whatnot. Kinda gets annoying actually. I'm not a wiseman (or wisewoman, whatever the politically correct term is)! Why listen to a blonde ditz that is among the crazy art majors and nerds? I'm not a philosophy or humanities student that can probably give better advice than I can. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 You have a wisdom they do not. You now how to value the people you talk to and that is why they value your opinion. They trust you. That is a special thing. Another thing to think about is that... when people ask for advice, what they are actually asking for is a different perspective to help them make up their own mind. don't worry about the advice you give to people. s log as you are honest that is exactly what people need.

river_chaos Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 I'm usually blunt when I give advice (except for certain topics). I'm surprised they actually trust me. I haven't really done anything to earn anyone's trust. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 maybe it's your honesty they value then? Quote
river_chaos Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 I guess so. On with a new drabbly post: I have discovered that watching movies on the new Ipod nano takes a lot of energy; I was able to watch The Sword in the Stone three times before it died on me. Then again, sound volume for movies on it aren't all that great either, so that might have contributed to it. Quote
river_chaos Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Never again shall I buy yarn from WalMart All the yarn I've bought from there has been absolute crap! I swear, they bloody stock up on the "discounted" stuff knowing it's faulty products! Screw you WalMart! I'm buying my craft stuff elsewhere! Quote
river_chaos Posted March 12, 2013 Author Posted March 12, 2013 I just sold my first product on Etsy yesterday! I forgot to mention that I now have a little shop on Etsy.com where I'm selling knitted stuff Fantastic site if you love the eccentric handmade stuff that people come up with. Anywho, I sold a pair of yoga socks after a customer messaged me asksing if they'd fit a size 7 foot. I told her they do and bam! they were sold. I was happy for the majority of the day until I got to German class and remembered that I forgot to do the homework Then my I was cussing myself out. Quote
*Jess♥ Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 wow, it's awesome to sell something that you enjoyed making! I still haven't completed my first bit of weaving. I made good progress on it at the airport, but it's still not half done. Quote
river_chaos Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Things that are made with tender love and care tend to take a while I noticed. Such projects are worth the time and effort though. 1 Quote
river_chaos Posted May 23, 2013 Author Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) I'm happy to say that I'll be teaching a beginner's knitting class at the local Hobby Lobby for the summer I'll be teaching on Thursdays starting in June; I'm so excited! By the way, I've just started up my summer line in my shop of Etsy and am now taking orders world wide. Hopefully I'll make some more sales now that it is summer time *crossing fingers* I don't think I provided a link for others to look at my shop, have I? https://www.etsy.com/shop/KnittedRiverMarket?ref=si_shop Edited May 23, 2013 by river_chaos Quote
*Jess♥ Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 Wow! that's pretty damn awesome!! you're selling stuff... and you're teaching your craft! so lucky!! I also plan to be teaching my craft as soon as we get a centre to use. Quote
river_chaos Posted May 24, 2013 Author Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks, Ryuki! Make sure to check out the rest of Etsy when you get the chance. I tend to find a lot of cool stuff on there every day, and even some gift ideas too. I'm planning on adding Rastafarian hats to my inventory once I finish some. They're starting to gain some popularity lately I noticed. Quote
river_chaos Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 I'm now starting to spin my own yarn! Just got my drop spindle in along with several roves of wool and bamboo, and the Guyver DVDs I ordered from BN. I'm gonna have so much fun with this XD Quote
river_chaos Posted July 11, 2013 Author Posted July 11, 2013 Just got a job working temporary at my dad's company for the summer. I started today, and Lord have mercy I'm TIRED! Oh well, it'll help with college expenses...zzzzzZzzzz Quote
river_chaos Posted July 25, 2013 Author Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) I can't believe I'm saying this but: I MISS COLLEGE!!!! I'm tired of working out in the factory; tired of not being able to upload art onto devianArt because my numbskull cousin maxed out our internet via YouTube; tired of my meemaw hounding my rear on my career path; I WANNA GO BACK ALREADY! Edited July 25, 2013 by river_chaos Quote
river_chaos Posted July 27, 2013 Author Posted July 27, 2013 Hey guys! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I got a summer internship for a new American manga company that's just starting to work on their first story. They're called Rock Steady, and their story is also called Rock Steady. My job right now is to get the word out about the project and help build an audience for Rock Steady, and also help them find a manga artist that is willing to work for free (time will be compensated though). I have read part of the story thus far, and IMO I think it's got potential to be a good manga.

Once the artist is chosen there will be collaboration agreement. Submissions: Columnwhite@gmail.com P.S.: I didn't know if it was okay to post this in a separate thread, so I just posted it as a blog entry Quote
*Jess♥ Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 you should probably make a thread for it. I am sure some guys will find it interesting. good job on that, it's great to be involved in things. I recently stepped out on something I have been heavily involved with for months. I really need to focus on my own stuff now but the work I did will definitely get me recognition. Quote
river_chaos Posted July 30, 2013 Author Posted July 30, 2013 Done. It's in the General 'whatever' section I'm lucky to be working with theses guys; this'll help out once I start looking for a job with manga companies or something similar. Quote
