thrihyrneI posted about the fun conversation I had with a fellow knitter a couple of mornings ago— well, this morning I was sitting at a table at an area outside of a Starbucks inside an office building where I usually hang out and eat my breakfast (yogurt with granola/almonds/craisins that I bring with me) while the 15 or so minutes pass by before I catch my bus to Beaverton, when someone stopped and said, "Hello!" It was my knitting buddy from two days ago, who had had a similar idea as she was heading out that way a second time this week. I was floored; I'm used to feeling invisible or at least not seeing anyone I know whilst out and about on my commute. So we talked and knitted on our ride and I gave her my info (and let her know I'd blogged about our meeting) and have added her to my friendslist over on Ravelry. Just very cool, all around.
I'm also really looking forward to this holiday weekend. Not just because I'll have another three-day weekend, but because Jen will be spending it here with me, and Julia will be in southern California. I don't mean to intimate that we don't get along or anything like that, but it will just be so lovely to have my friend here, and for us to do what we want and eat and chat and read and watch movies and make fires and go to Bipartisan Cafe and get massages and it will all be so simple because it will only involve us. And the cats. But they do their own thing and don't have issues about inclusiveness.
And a total side note: my dear friend emansil_08 sent me The Chosen to read as part of an xmas gift, and I am positively devouring it. I beta'ed her Yuletide story, which was written for that fandom, and said (before I had any idea she was sending me a copy) how interested I would be to know the canon material. I am really enjoying it. I started it last night, and thanks to my commute and being a fast reader, I'm already 3/4 finished. :P
