This is all I've been able to do in the last 3 days - play Phantasy Star 2 and drink vodka soda waters. I am starting to see fight screens while I am work!

You don't have to tell me what a nerd I am. I know.

Anyway, I am new. Wanted to say hi. Below is a picture of the OTHER thing I do - I cross-stitch pictures of people. That one isn't done yet. I've been working on it for 9 months. Crazy, yes, I know. You'll see me in the MoMA someday! Or not!

What's cross-stitching?

It's an embroidery stitch - little Xs over and over and over! I wish I could upload the full sized picture... it's about 8" X 11". HUGE. takes about 500 hours of stitching.

It started out as a dare... I think all crazy things start out as a dare.

I make the paper pattern using a computer program, print it out, then I gather all the different thread colors and fabrics, and start hand-stitching! I do it with a regular needle, DMC floss (a type of thread), and about 60-70 colors. It takes forever. You have to use the pattern... so it's all counted out. The fabric is made up of tons of little boxes, and so is the pattern...

Neat. I did a similar thing once. I made a rug of the mandelbrot set. I've still got it somewhere.
