I want to like someone again. I have a couple crushes at the moment but they aren't realistic or with girls I know enough to actually like. I miss having someone to like.

I didn't have a lot going on today. Yesterday I got Sniper Elite: V2 because it was seventy-five percent off and I have been wanting to get it for quite awhile. I remember really liking the first game on the original Xbox but when I tried to play it recently it felt terribly clunky. I played through the first level of the new game today and thankfully it controls a lot better than the original. I was a bit clumsy with it and had to turn down my mouse sensitivity because every time I tried to slightly turn I would end up doing a 180 degree turn. I seem to be on a third-person game kick recently with Hitman: Absolution, Max Payne 3, and now Sniper Elite: V2, and they all have slightly different controls which creates a bit of a problem trying to switch between them. They are all fun to play though so I would like to find the time and interest to actually finish all of them. I also still want to finish Borderlands 2. That game is so much fun when it isn't being grindy.

Tonight at work I started reading a new book, started watching Grosse Pointe Blank, and added a bit to my blanket. I really should have been counting rows because I am fairly certain some color stripes have nine rows and others have eight. I have learned you can't really count on the yarn to be accurately labeled when it comes to length. Tonight I nearly finished what I believe to be the ninth row of gold yarn but ran out of yarn. I have plenty left over from previous skeins but it is a tad annoying. And looking at the blanket, it looks like maybe the most recent stripe of light blue has only eight rows. I don't know. I'm hoping that if/when I finish it I won't focus too much on certain stripes possibly being one row thinner. I am about to start the last skein I have and I am hoping that Hobby Lobby will have restocked their yarn selection the next time I go in. I have yet to actually check online to see if they have it there. It would look weird having half a blanket with a repeating pattern of stripes and then the second half being whatever yarn I can get my hands on.

I think tomorrow I might be going to the library book sale with my mom and sister. It feels like they just had one although it has probably been at least six months. I don't need anymore books and I definitely don't have room for more books, but it is really hard to pass up inexpensive books. I love books. It's a deep, obsessive love.
