Does your username come from the verb "to these" and its variation "theseqing"? If not, please explain where it did come from. Nope, it came from trying to find a username on IRC back in the day. My real name is somewhat common, so it would always come up as being in use already. A friend of mine (as we were sitting on a step watching the dance floor at a now defunct club in Toronto), suggested adding a silent 'q' to my name to make it unique. I decided to just use the silent q as my user name. :) Said friend used the nickname 'InUse'. :)
Ravelry-stalking you,[...] Er, I'm not on Ravelry, is someone else using the nickname silentq there? I can barely knit and purl, I tried to learn a while back but the way I hold the needles aggravates my elbow RSI. I sew, infrequently, and do enjoy havin to focus on a project (eep, sun dress needed for July 3, must get on that).
Didn't you say you were moving? What is up with that? Not soon, I hope, I just had my work visa renewed, it runs out in Feb 2011, and at that point I'll have to either leave the country or be in the process of applying for a green card. Currently leaning toward the former, as New Zealand is calling to me. :)
What is the best, most joy-bringing thing you experience on a completely average/boring day? Whizzing down a hill on my bike. :)
If you could repeal or change just one US law, what would it be? There are some pretty stupid (IMO) immigration laws, but I'd change mandatory punishment for rape to be a lot harsher. :/
