literally

we may seem different, but i don't think we are. not way down at the core. it's kind of reassuring to know that. i just wish we could talk about the surface differences so we can understand each other better. that's what i want - understanding. that and i want to be known.

it's raining a lot these past few days, and in the days to come as well. it makes we wonder how we'll all keep afloat.

shanno works at david's tea, and i like to go in when she's working to sample the latest and pay her a visit. i used to do that when beck worked at minotaur, only i would check out the merch instead of consume it. i like it when my friends are employed at downtown shops. i have to admit, i'm becoming a bit of a DT elitist, i was at the goat last night and the tea i had there was not nearly as good. b likes to imagine that david from david's tea is like the wizard of oz. i like to imagine him as my dear friend david - i can see him owning a trendy and sophisicated beverage shop.

did i tell you that i'm listening to jane eyre on audio book? i saw the movie trailer at the screening room, and it freaked me out. but later bren and the erbs saw it and both said it was excellent. so i warmed to the idea of the novel, and thought i'd give it a go. it's not creepy at all, and i'm quite enjoying it. i re-watched the movie trailer and can tell already how much they condensed it. i'm so very pleased with the progress i'm making with b's cardy, it should be finished this weekend. which isn't a moment too soon because he's in desperate need of one. i got home after work yesterday to find him wearing one of mine. this is the first sweater i've ever made, and it's going pretty well! except for the problem with my purling. i don't purl correctly, and i noticed that the body and the sleeves have distinctly different stitches since the sleeves were knitted on the round and the body was knitted and purled. oops. oh well, i think only knitters would notice.
 
this sunday's sermon is coming along. it's just about ready. the write is my favourite part. the delivery is probably my least favourite, but i'm sure it will be fine. it always is :)
 
does the space cold do funny things to your nipples, making them all pointy?

That's funny. I've never heard anyone say "I don't purl correctly." When Brendan went to the car to get his jacket last night, I thought he was trying to reinforce the idea that you need to get his sweater done asap. Subtle hint.
