What do you love about where you live?
Submitted by Emu with a Clue.

I love how everyone knows just about everyone else.  And even if they don't it's very easy to play six degrees of separation.  Now it's also a curse because everyone has a way of thinking they know me and really they only know of me.  I love how people take care of their own.  That's something you don't get an a huge city.  There is real community here and while living in a small town can suck ass there is still some good to be found here.

Project Notes: This project has taught me that sometimes I am not smarter than a 5th grader.  I took me days to do this.  The knitting was easy and only took less than an hour.  However the construstion took me some DAYS.  I would sew then pick it all out because it was all wrong.  Then it hit me I'm not supposed to sew both layers together after sewing the cast on and cast off edges together.  After I had that epiphany getting it to cinch up was a breeze.

I love Sea Monkeys. I think they are the coolest pets ever besides iguanas.  I had a tank about four years ago and it was so much fun.  Recently I decided to start a new tank only this time I would document it with the video feature on my digital camera.  But I'm the proud new owner of a pink Flip Video Ultra so I used it instead.  YouTube compresses every vid but I think you'll agree it came out good.  This is also my very first YouTube video!

Other than TeamVox, who was the first person you added to your Vox neighborhood? What made you want to be their neighbor?
Submitted by TheFiercestCalm.

Margotinto was my first neighbor and I wanted to be her neighbor because she said she liked my first Vox post.  And besides who doesn't love Lil'ReRe?

I've been waiting to get my taxes done since 1pm and we're just getting started. Thank goodness for knitting. I've started a Tribble here. I have one at home that needs sewing up but it's not going well. I'll post more on that later.

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?
Submitted by Eileen.

Australia hands down.  I've always been fascinated with Australia.  I did a presentation in college on Australia.  My partner and I presented the parallel between both it and the US.  We served our teacher and classmates meat pie and it was a hit.  My partner and I were the only group to get an A.  I also love the Aussie show McLeods Daughters.
