Now I didn't buy this shirt anywhere, even though Craftster does have some pretty cute ones. No I actually had this shirt made. I had to have it in black (of course) so I ordered it from Neighborhoodies which is a fine business I recommend highly. Anyway-so now you know I'm not only the type of geek to go to the trouble of having a shirt like this made but I also do really love those Beastie Boys just that much. So when I saw this survey loosely based on the lyrics from the very same song as my t-shirt is based on, well I knew it was destined for a blog post.
1. I've been hooked on the needles since: Learned to crochet from grandma when I was 5. Knitting from my godmother soon after.
2. I'm still a virgin, but not for long: I’m dying to knit a big fancy lace shawl this summer. Also socks on 2 circulars. I’m also a virgin to steeking but I don’t think I’ll be getting past that one for awhile.
3. She's crafty - she gets around...to : Knitting everyday or every other if that’s not possible. If not I’m a serious crank. Seriously. And I rarely miss a meal. You don’t want to see me hungry either... Give me yarn and food and everybody’s happy...
She's crafty - she's always down...for: Knitting, tivo, trivia, eating out, cooking for friends, online shopping.
She's crafty - she's got a gripe...about : The serious injustices in the world today. The blatant consumerism in this country. The fact that youth culture has been replaced with Coach bags and Lindsey Lohan. The phone, I hate it. MySpace, I just don’t get it. I feel like I was a geek in high school and now I’m a geek on MySpace. But lets not talk about the gripes...
She's crafty - and she's just my type. What type of knitter are you? A process knitter (as opposed to a project knitter). I like the finished objects, but it’s the activity of sitting there and concentrating and knitting and relaxing that always brings me back... See #3.
4. I'm dying to try: lace shawl knitting.
5. I gravitate towards colors like: Black. Gray. Red. Purple. Green. Brown.
6. My most cherished possession (kids, pets, family don't count) is: Maybe this sounds cheezy but for as much of a collector as I am I’m really not into possessions lately. They’re things. Lately for me it’s all about people and action. Put me in a store (unless it’s a yarn store or I need something) and I feel bored to tears. I don’t need anything. Time, rest, peace of mind, more time to knit, now that’s the stuff I really need.
7. I'm stuck on an island, what am I reading? A knitting or food magazine. Or doing crosswords or sudoku.
8. If I were about to be executed and I was offered a last meal , I'd be dining on: It’s ridiculous how I’ve always known the answer to this question and it comes up in conversation a lot-rack of lamb, Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic, and creme brulee for desert.
9. Music to knit by: I usually knit to the tv or to podcasts. Music on the ipod right now would include the Pixies, NOFX, Bad Religion, Ella Fitzgerald, the Replacements, Louis Jordan...
10. I have a crush on: Jim Halpert on The Office. Drool....
11. Least favorite celeb: I don’t know why this question kind of bugs me. But I guess I’d have to say Teri Hatcher. Can she have any more plastic surgery? And this is supposed to be our new standard of beauty in this country?
12. Choose:Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp? Johnny Depp
Madonna or Janet Jackson? Old Janet Jackson- the Control album, I wish there were more female artists out there that still were delivering that type of message to young women. Sadly, I’m afraid I think Janet has even abandoned it for that troll Jermaine Dupree....
June Cleaver or Peg Bundy? Peg, only because Katey Segal also did the voice of Leela on Futurama
Jackie or Marilyn? Jackie
Love or Money? Love
Brains or Looks? Brains
Math or English? For me english, but because my math is lacking, I’m totally impressed by it in others.
Cat or Dog? Cat
Leader or follower? Hmm.... How about sarcastic bystander? Degenerative heckler? I’m not a follower, but I don’t think anyone should follow me either. Really. Do I look like I know where the heck I’m going?
Beer or Champagne? Good beer-I’m a beer snob. Although I wouldn’t turn down good Champagne either.
13. My favorite smell? The grill in the summer. Bacon cooking. The smell when you walk in Carvel Ice Cream.
14. Not many people know this about me: Nobody knows that stuff for a reason... :)
15. My hidden talent is: digesting legal info and spitting it back out sounding like I understand what I’m saying. Yeah, that one’s hidden for a reason...
Happy knitting, hope everyone's having a great weekend, I'll be posting knitting pics soon.

I think you might be my long-lost twin or something.
Your response to #6--YES! So sick of the "stuff" culture!
"Sarcastic bystander"--too funny. I feel the exactly same way ;)
But best of all, "the smell when you walk into Carvel." You're a woman after my own heart!
So glad that you did that one! It was fun - now you've gotta try the Soundtrack of your Life... Its random and fun and kinda right on....
I totally agree with the celeb thing about Teri H. How many more skinny bitches do we have to tolerate?
I mean COME ON! Do they actually think its great that they can wear the size 6X girls?
I like that meme too. I am sick of all the stuff you have to have too.
Because I am a bad person I have not fully read this post yet but I will comment on two things. 1. I LOVE that you had the shirt made special - you failed to mention that at the unveiling last year. 2. I love that you found an did a Beastie Boys survey and so I shall snatch it from you and complete it myself as I was just listening to Paul's Boutique Friday night because I felt an emptiness in my heart and realized it was from a lack of recent BB's listening. An extended departure from the Violent Femmes can also bring this on. Thank you for understanding :-)
