Ripping a couple of cds I got recently and one I found out the physical cd got two more songs than the digital download version.
Today I found out I'm now considered somewhat the weirdo in the neighbourhood. And it isn't because I mostly wear black and dark coloured clothing. It isn't because I love a band shirt (especially of a certain satanic band). And it isn't because when I'm out and about I wear headphones most of the time. It's because I cross stitch. A couple of weeks ago a package for a neighbour who wasn't at home was left at our place. I had the window blinds open because I was expecting my own package, one that wouldn't fit in our package box and delivered by DHL. When a package delivered by DHL doesn't fit in the box they just leave it in the front garden. I was on the couch cross stitching and when the neighbour picked up her package she saw me cross stitching. She asked if I was embroidering and I told her it was cross stitching.
Since then I've had several neighbours ask me about it. One asking my in a whisper about it. As if it's some kind of forbidden witchcraft.
One of my planned projects is to stitch a couple of smaller Halloween themed project to put in our front window. Halloween is celebrated in our neighbourhood; some neighbours decorate their house around that time and there's a Halloween treasure hunt for kids where they can go by houses to collect some candy. We wanted to at least participate in decorating our house/front yard for both Halloween and New Year.
