Analyze That

Yes, more introspection. I know y'all just live for these posts. Remember all this introspection has been a result one of the SITS better blog challenge assignments and this article on niche-less blogging. I'm supposed to have a niche. I am stubbornly refusing to get one.

I've already told you why I blog. Today I am going to analyze who I am (at least blog-wise.)

Don't say I didn't warn you. (Is anyone else getting the image of Ian McKellen as Gandalf? "Run, you fools!")

Ok. So I need to develop my "who." (Sounds very zen, doesn't it?) Apparently it's pretty easy to do. All I have to do is be myself, be authentic and be engaging.

I.am.so.screwed.

Being myself
I edit the hell out of myself. Seriously. This post was originally a foul-mouthed diatribe, but I've gone back an rewritten it.

I really hold back about many things. This is a knitting blog, right? So I stay mum: mainly about politics, education, and why everyone should quit expecting us (teachers) to be the sole providers of a child's education. That's sort of mainly your job, mom and dad.

But since I have you here and I feel like running off at the fingers: I kind of think ethics are more important than morals. I don't care what you smoke, what you drink or who you boink. Just be nice and stop saying mean shit...even if someone does have a different opinion than you do.

This may come as a shock, but I am quite religious, sort-of anti feminist and *gasp* a bit conservative. Hmmm, that must be the sound of readers un-following the blog.

PS: I would be quite happy if the world would stop putting conservatives in the "they are dumb fuckers¹" box. I'm not the devil, ok? It kind of hurts my feelings that people think I am. Yeah, some conservatives actually have feelings. 

Authenticity
If I were authentic the name of this blog would be "The F-bombing Yarn Hag."

hmmm....

Engaging
I'm pretty sure "engaging" implies not making people angry. Oh, and staying on topic. In general, keeping people reading and coming back.

Oh look! I finished something! I was going to save it for Friday, but I feel the need to bribe you make amends. See? They are cute little fishies!

Orange...just like the non-vegan snack
