Time for a new project! I bought an absolutely TERRIBLE cross stitch kit that had a pattern I really loved, so I'm doing my best to salvage it. For example I'm using some proper plastic backing instead of the cardboard (!) they gave me. Anyway, can you guess what it is?

Guys guys guys! I made it into the Fantasy-Faction Top 50 SFF Novels of 2025 list! Thank you to everyone who voted for me!

Beaded Totoro cross stitch final update! It's been sewn up and stuffed and it's ready to become an ornament as soon as I find my jump rings!

Beaded Totoro cross stitch update! Oh man, doing all the gray beads took FOREVER! Now to cut out the beaded bits and sew them together!

Look what I dug up! I'm in the mood for cross stitching, so let's finish up this adorable bootleg Totoro keychain!

Once again I have been given an ornament at the ketamine clinic that was made by a patient and once again I am sad it doesn't say Ketamine on it

Chapter eight of my Cult of the Lamb fanfic Kaiseki is now up! In which Heket and Forneus finally have a very important picnic. archiveofourown.org/works/570141...

It's time for another sneak peek at chapter eight of my Cult of the Lamb fanfic Kaiseki! In which Aym and Baal might not be the best babysitters, but they're certainly the coolest.

I'm sorry, why is the McDonald's trash can transformer named Kurtis the Divine???

At my old terrible office job I would get "randomly" picked EVERY TIME there was a random drug test. All I can figure is that there was one person in HR who was like "Amber isn't stoned? Impossible! Test her AGAIN!"

Still snowed in, so let's enjoy a sneak peek at chapter eight of Kaiseki, my latest Cult of the Lamb fanfic! In which The Lamb has a slight issue with Heket's love life.

This may be the greatest sock imp I've ever made. Behold! The gay frog imp! 🐸 🌈

I'm trapped in my apartment thanks to a snowstorm so that means I've been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb and fanfic writing! So enjoy this sneak peek at chapter three of Kingmaker, where Narinder gets a visitor while in prison.

5 classes you'd teach based on your life experiences/interests: 1) Why it's okay to flunk out of college 2) Whoops I wrote a novel and other fanfic writing issues 3) Don't Fucking Climb Mt Everest 4) Fiber Arts and why it should consume you 5) I MEAN IT DON'T FUCKING CLIMB MT EVEREST

Still waiting for the ice to melt. I made another sock imp today and some slightly better than last time muffins. They're flat, but at least they're not melted.

During my last supply run to the dollar tree I found Fight Club socks of all things! Naturally, I turned them into a sock imp.

Ice Storm Journal: Since we might lose power and get into the single digits later this week I've created a blanket fort out of broom handles, duck tape, zip ties and my largest blanket. May it actually keep me warm.

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

Once I worked a job where my boss yelled at me for not coming in during a massive blizzard because if I had taken my job seriously I would have bought an SUV like him. We sold plumbing fixtures. I made $10 an hour I should have laughed in his face.

"Dreamcast", a haiku Each day he rises. Asks me, "Is it still launch day?" "Yes," I lie. "Always."

If you want to know what the 90s were like: In middle school my class was taken to a semi-fancy restaurant on a school trip and all the boys ordered steaks and all the girls ordered chicken and I got called gay for ordering a steak.

Ko-fi shop update! I've cleaned things up and added more options for my Sock Imps! Not to mention you can now buy the epub version of my novel Echo of the Larkspur on my shop! ko-fi.com/aughtpunk/shop

Final latch dragon rug update! It is finished! I applied special rug glue to the back and gave the front a much needed trim. Now to figure out where I can hang this up in my apartment!

You know, I knew with middle age would come health issues, I just didn't think all the health issues would happen ALL AT ONCE

I was trying to remember when I played Mega Man Legends over and over multiple times but only played the sequel once but then I remembered The fucking 99 question quiz

Latch dragon rug update! I'm almost there! Just like 1/4th of the rug to go! I'm really enjoying this project, and I've already picked up two more kits!

Fanfic Update! Chapter 7 of my Cult of the Lamb fic Kaiseki is up! In which Heket teams up with a certain Midwife to kill a monster! archiveofourown.org/works/570141...

A fight broke out at D&D tonight

Latch hook dragon rug update! I'm halfway through the rug! I'm impressed by how the rug looks. I was expecting something waaaaaaay messier. Now let's see if the second half of the rug goes by much faster

Latch hook dragon rug update! I made it past the white sections by the skin of my teeth! I have a ton of all the other colors so no worries about running out from here on out. So far so good!

Chapter Two of Kingmaker, my Cult of the Lamb Narilamb Board Game Club AU is out! In which an arrested Narinder demands to speak to his lawyer. Remember kids! Never talk to a cop! archiveofourown.org/works/769424...

Kingmaker chapter 2 preview! I'm which Narinder teaches us all a VERY important phrase. Remember kids! Never talk to a cop!

Once I was driving and this guy was up my ass and then he passed me and I saw he had a decal that said ASSHOLE that stretched across his entire rear window with two skeleton hands flipping the bird and like, I couldn't even be angry about it anymore. Dude's honest.

I went to Dunkin today and I guess they were having some sort of deal because they handed me my donut in what might be the smallest, most useless bag I have ever seen in my life. It holds exactly one donut. What on earth am I supposed to do with this?

Latch hook dragon rug update! Starting to get the hang of this. However I am dangerously low on white yarn already. Which is odd because there's a ton of yarn in all the other colors but not white. I might have to get creative in a few rows

Since Walmart dropped the ball on Christmas I'm instead having my steak dinner for New Year's! Also I like, need everyone to look at how big this potato is. I've never eaten a potato before and then had an entire potato left over.

Latch hook update! After three days of cursing the concept of yarn and latch hooks I think I got the hang of it!

Look I love FF3/6, it's my favorite JRPG of all time, but thirty years later I still don't understand why we let the guy who was going to creepily kidnap an Opera Singer against her will onto the team It really is just because he had a sick ride huh

The only time I ever had anything stolen out of my car was when some thief broke into every car in the apartment parking lot and robbed everyone blind but all he stole from mine was a bottle of ice melt spray I still feel kind of insulted by that

Gen Xers and older Millennials from New Jersey aren't allowed to make fun of kids saying 67 all of the time because I remember how in middle school we'd laugh whenever a teacher said 37 EVERY. TIME.

Being in my 40s has mostly been learning that all the things I was told were no big deal or not actually a real problem were in fact causing me real actual PTSD that's lasted for decades.

My Mom knew I couldn't deny the siren song of learning a new hobby so she got me a latch rug kit made for children

The urge to cross stitch has returned, and I've decided to work on this extremely not bootlegged and completely original character Forest Cat keychain that shall become a Christmas ornament! First the outline, next the little green leaf.
