so i got my tax stimulus or whatever from last year which was a complete surprise to me because it was practically gone in my mind and i only got 300 but i was excited just to get anything. so what did i do with the money? im almost up to date with my dethklok collection minus 2 figures 2 hoodies and a set of guitar picks, so i spent like 120 or something on my collection, mike took me to a music store and i got 2 sets of different hello kitty guitar picks for jewelry, 4 pairs of hello kitty underwear and most exciting of them all A NEW EFFING SEWING MACHINE!!! i looked online for reviews first, this one was like the best. it had the most reviews, the highest rating out of those, and it was only like $100. my old piece of crap was on there too and it was the same amount, but it sucks and it rattles and it breaks the thread and it ripped my latest project and made me feel so defeated last week and i got really depressed over it. like the kind of depressed that is best conveyed by nathan explosion in the dethdoubles episode when he was all like "WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIIIIIGHT!" so i got to try it out at sears and its exactly like my old shitty thing but its quieter and smoother and more features-er and ruffler foot available-er and totally awesome. i bought that shit like whoa. and the ruffler foot. i bought that shit so hard. then when i got it home i was seeing all what i could do and there is an option for free style embroidery or some shit and you have to take the guide teeth or whatever off. so i did and then after i used the ruffler which is a bitch to set up when youve never used one before. so i get it all set up and the thread keeps breaking like amillion times. so i thought it was the thread from the 70s that i was using, then i thought it was the shottily spun thread i was using. then i figured i was doing it wrong. so i spent like an hour watching videos on how to use it, but most of them weren't what they were labeled so i watched a bunch of general sewing videos. then i found a video of a girl just showing what the result was. i swear it was like a 10 second video, and i thought i figured it out. so i watched one more linked from that with actual instructions, and then i tried to do a proper ruffle like ironing and everything like it was some serious shit and when i started to sew the rough edges together i noticed that I FORGOT TO PUT THE EFFING TEETH BACK UP and then i put them back and used it and it was great and now i am excited again but am also slightly annoyed with myself.
