I'm Stephanie. I like to knit, write letters and poems, read (novels and blogs!), and stress out to the max. ;) At Sunbeam Soapbox I write about the knitting, letters, and whichever thoughts I want to share with the world. I also like new friends! Feel free to drop me an e-mail anytime using the contact form.

my 'read' shelf:
There was ZERO knitting this weekend, lots of insomnia (yes, that’s what I call staying awake until 4am hanging out outside with friends… insomnia…), a visit to a play that I had to review afterward, and a food festival in the city park with beautiful weather.

I want to thank everyone for the comments on my last post… I’m still kind of in shock, and sort of going through my own problems at the moment, so I haven’t been able to respond to everyone. I’m sorry. But thank you for your support.

I went to a paper store today on my way back from the grocery store (all in the mall right next to my apartment), meaning to get [...]
So I’m planning on dragging the rest of you down with me. I’ve already got my first convert too. :D
That’s not to say I haven’t been knitting—far from it. It’s just that letters are easier to talk about lately. However, I’d like to point out that I wrote the other day in my journal that [...]
I realized that I didn’t write all that I wanted to about letters yesterday. For example, I didn’t tell you all the realizations that came at the end of the story after learning about German job application letters. And I didn’t point out the letter-writing blogs I stumbled across, nor did I lament the fact [...]
In my German class (learning German, that is) we’ve been going over applications for jobs. Many of the people in my class are people that have relocated to Berlin and want to live and work there, and therefore the topic of applying for a job is necessary for them. For me it’s fascinating. I think [...]
