It’s Running Festival weekend, and I can’t even walk. Knee still hurts, and I just rolled my damn ankle walking home. Going to cry now.

---

@randomknits Limping home through crowds of hoochie-mamas on stilettos in Darling Harbour didn’t help. Felt like a lame, sweaty troll. 🙁

---

@drkknits Poor thing. Similar straits here. Could not feel sorrier for myself if I was on fire. Let’s agree to try to cheer up tomorrow.

---

RICEW: Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation, Wine.

---

@witty_knitter I rolled this one about 3 times last year. Had hoped it was all better. Very frustrating.

---

@witty_knitter This one goes back all the way to high school, really. Lasting legacy of my aborted tennis career.

---

@AusVintageGrrl Well, I know @thisismywww, so I’m a 3. Maybe closer; my BIL @carbocommander is in Movie Biz. Or maybe thru @mrs_sockvictim?

---

@theadrianflores I work in the Rocks. I don’t play ball, but I think a few guys in our office do. You want me to ask them?

---

@theadrianflores Ha. One of the Sitback guys already plays in that comp, he says, on the “ishares all stars” team?

---

@theadrianflores Two brothers are interested in playing: beto.renteria and fernando.renteria, both AT http://t.co/xoEulXu6. 🙂

---

@drkknits I was totes going to retweet that HARD, but you’re all protected and crap, so I can’t. But same here.

---

@missamanda I can’t stand “mobisode”. But snuggimals is kind of cute. What’s the context? Presumably a toy or pajamas?

---

RT @imdominating: “How not to die alone in your apartment” http://t.co/22qvij8f … // cc @drkknits, who will laugh and laugh

---

@Illdrinn As someone in her mid-30’s finally learning How To Be a Girl, this is very helpful. Would love to see a makeup post someday!

---

@VenessaHunt @zosainsbury Ooh, can I crash this party and say hi? Haven’t seen either of you in AGES other than on FB… 🙂

---

My name is Kris and I am a Pretzel Addict. And today I think I hit rock bottom. #halp http://t.co/6cuyli7C

---

@Ezzles ERIN. When someone says they’re addicted to a thing, you do not tell them about an even more wonderful version of that thing!

---

@VenessaHunt @zosainsbury I can do that!

---

@knitterjp OOH, I might actually come along!

---

@knitterjp Catching a bus. You guys may have moved on by the time I get there. Bowling Club?

---

@knitterjp You guys go upstairs? I’ve only been once last wkend, but I think @smark31 said you were usually upstairs.

---

@stufromoz @beardbeanie @witty_knitter @anniespjs Definitely a thing for a few years now. “Patent pending” is a little weird tho.

---

@witty_knitter @stufromoz @beardbeanie @anniespjs I don’t think they’re *that* creepy, but then, I knitted this. http://t.co/BwECWBLq

---

Impromptu decision to go to SnB led to this. Have I hit Carb Rock Bottom yet? Good times tho… http://t.co/gf0JkCEV

---

@venks79 Testing? You’re a coding machine!! 🙂

---

@kattjayne My soul agrees with you; it’s my stomach that will be punishing me later!!

---

@steven_noble You know, you now know an official Google employee to tweet these whinges at. (cc @the_snook)

---

RT @BarackObama: RT if you agree: Romney should come clean and release his tax returns so voters know whether he paid his fair share.

---

Have received spam from @Betezycomau four weeks running, despite “unsubscribing” and lodging official ACMA spam complaint. STOP EMAILING ME!

---

Finally got someone at @betezycomau to reply and unsub me from their mailing lists. They deleted my FB post though. *sigh*

---

RT @Sitback: Sitback sets its sites http://t.co/OWJ2tGAD // I was a member of that Subaru BRZ team, and I’m really proud of it!

---

Wait, WTF? Some person wants to start a Guild group in the Inner West? Uh, we already have the Inner City group meeting in Surry Hills!

---

@willemrt Sorry, I forget that not all my followers are knitters. 🙂 Knitters Guild of NSW.

---

@willemrt We give free lessons. Surry Hills Library, 2nd Sat each month at 2pm. Email learntoknit@knittersguildnsw.org.au to book in. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter Fair enough, I guess. I just like having us all in one ginormous group/army.

---

@voicework I could see that working at some hipster barbers in Sydney. There’s one in the Rocks where it would fit right in.

---

@witty_knitter Weird. I’d feel much more comfortable hiding in a big group than going to one with only a few! Harden up, introverts. 🙂

---

@witty_knitter Ooh, that sucks. Need to get @drkknits and @knitdra involved. Maybe revive the welcoming committee?

---

@witty_knitter I try to be very welcoming to new folks and sit with them. However, some of them are BORING so it’s a sacrifice. 😛

---

@drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I can see some validity, given that many of us have experienced being ostracised at other groups.

---

@drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra But I also think some people are big, weird, introverted babies. 😛

---

@blakepup That is a tragedy. Take some pepto and go! Porteno is worth it!

---

@drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra This is what happens when you work in an ivory tower all day long, Rapunzel. MIX WITH US COMMONERS.

---

@drkknits @witty_knitter @knitdra I would quote some P&P at you about being ill-suited to recommend oneself, but that shit is annoying.

---

@witty_knitter @drkknits @knitdra I just dislike needless complexity. One group has advantages of size and resources.

---

Can’t decide if my need to see myself as the Veronica in a world of Heathers is a healthy attitude or a lame self-delusion.

---

On the plus side, that means @the_snook is Christian Slater.

---

@AusVintageGrrl Fair enough. Just think it’s a bit silly to think we need a separate group for each individual snowflake’s circumstances.

---

@AusVintageGrrl Meh. I always think there’s a point at which too much choice becomes a detriment. *shrug*

---

I know some people who may be interviewing at Yahoo. I have told them to follow @blakkat. Any other Y!7ers I know on Twitter?

---

@The_Ausmerican Only if it’s okay that I considered unfriending the folks who keep liking Harvey Norman just to try to win free Android crap

---

RT @oliyoung: Only hours until we see the Samsung Galaxy 4 design

---

Wow. Getting from Chippo to Randwick is a major pain. Taxi will cost more than the movie!

---

Raiders of the Lost Ark! #geekfest (@ Ritz Cinema w/ 4 others) http://t.co/Rsqd5Rfc

---

I just reached Level 2 of the “Zoetrope” badge on @foursquare. I’ve checked in at 5 different movie theaters! http://t.co/Yd5ld5AA

---

John Rhys-Davies is a nutter. Fascinating, erudite, but a complete nutter. He’s been talking for 90 minutes non-stop!

---

Jonathan Rhys-Davies going on and on (and on and on) at tonight’s Raiders screening. Very cool. http://t.co/FkLDDJFi

---

RT @hexsteph: Now he’s providing women with tips on how to avoid varicose veins. Not even joking. It’s gotten very weird. #andmyaxe

---

@chewxy Damn. Sign up to Popcorn Taxi’s mailing list! Well worth it. They do great events.

---

@mikeefreedom Yeah, Popcorn Taxi. They had Sallah there afterwards to talk. Fun night, but late for me. *yawn*
