Living on Your Own, Friday, Aug. 15, period 1
Tyler didn't seem especially inclined to chit-chat as he started class today, but that wasn't so far from his norm.
"All right," he said, once the students were all seated. "So you have a house -- decorated to your specifications -- and a job, and what you need is something to do in your down time. Drinking yourself into a coma is always a popular choice, and so is watching TV until your brain turns to goop. But on the off chance you need something more active to do and don't already spend all your time on the Internet arguing about plot holes in the new Z-Cases Movie, hobbies are good things. And knitting is a really popular hobby."
He held up a skein of gray yarn with knitting needles through it. "I learned to do this here. Eleven years ago, I could make a scarf. Right now, I can make a slightly better scarf. Here's how." He explained and demonstrated knitting, looking oddly proud of himself as he finished a few rows.
"The other popular thing to knit in Fandom, and I do not wanna know why, is dildo cozies." He held up one that looked like a very long, very skinny sock made from neon purple yarn. "There are patterns for those on your tables, should you feel so inspired."
"And that is it from me for the day, go ahead and knit. I'll be around."

"It's not about knitting." The 'you moron' part was left implied. "But learning to multitask on by, yes, knitting and say, watching television, means you're better prepared for other situations where you might have to multitask."
