Wanted: Lots of Cats

I've been on a knitting kick recently. Not the kind of kick where you find a cool pattern and you've got some cool yarn and you just wanna make cool stuff, but the kind where it's all you do. In all seriousness, I've knit 2 hats, and 2 sets of gauntlets in the past week alone as well as learned 10 new stitches.
I need help.
Here in southeaster-PA, we've hit the August/summer doldrums. Especially me. To explain the situation correctly my parents both work, I can't drive, and my sister is at camp from nine am to one pm. In other words, this girl is stuck. So, after exhausting my mum for chores and my dear friends Dr.Who, Sherlock, bookshelf, and oven all I've got left to is knit. And I'll be damned if I haven't knit up a tornado.
I really need something to do.

And that's my entire "weekly" update. In other news, I've chopped my hair, renamed my tumblr, edited the first chapter of my book and discovered a love for Johnny Cash and Frank Sinatra. Also, Robert Redford founded Sundance (a clothing company), which confounded me.
Oh, and I'm dreaming of North Carolina. Can you just imagine the beautiful Appalachia and the air and food and Biltmore? I decided when I was a kid that if Biltmore was my home, there would be no way to NOT dress like a princess everyday. The place is of a gentler era that demands gorgeous dresses, shoes and well-styled hair.
Tell me if I'm wrong:

I think I'll talk about one of my novel-projects next time. What d'you think?
