This past summer, I combined my former 10-year-old self's obsession of making bracelets with my current self's obsession with highlighter yellow and began mass-producing these knotted gray/black/highlighter yellow bracelets (very fashionable if I do say so myself). I then needed people to give them to and since I'm sort of in love with my roommate's staff (she owns this coffee shop that's pretty great and has a bunch of people who work for her who are also pretty great), I decided that they should be the recipients of my lovely neon yellow creations. Each one takes like forever and a day to make (or an hour) and are usually created when I'm supposed to be doing something productive and feel like procrastinating. And since procrastination is one of my major flaws (or gifts, depending on whether you're a glass half-full or a glass half-empty type of person), I've naturally been able to get quite a few done over the past 6 months. I think I've only made about 10 so far (which is clearly the definition of "mass production") but hopefully I'll finish the rest sometime in the near future.
Also, it made sense that our bracelet-wearing crew needed a name so Nate dubbed us the Neon Braceleteers, and since I feel like we would make quite an effective super-hero team if such a need would ever arise here in the good ole Ox Box, the name seemed pretty fitting.
