1. Sweater (vest) is progressing nicely; the first two stripes are complete (7 stripes will take me up to the armpits, where I have to bind off some stitches and then continue straight). I've refigured the actual stitch width, and since my stitches seem to be easing up a bit as I get better, I don't think I'll even have to add any to make it fit properly, just carry up from the armholes and bind off at the shoulder.

2. I'm having a real hard time with the "forgiveness" issue. On the one hand, I feel like even if one of my friends screws up, really bad, I should forgive them and let them be my friend again. Sure, especially if they had no idea what they did, or what was wrong. But what about when they screw up again? My current thinking is that I'm supposed to *forgive* them, but that doesn't mean I have to continue being friends with someone-- especially if continued friendship leaves me open to being screwed with again (or, from their point, leads them into temptation).

2(a). It's a really bad sign for a potential friendship with someone, when you've only known them for a day or two and they start telling you their friends' and family's deep, dark secrets. I don't especially want to know about the awful thing that happened to your girlfriend when she was 6. If she needs me to hear it, she can tell me herself!

3. (or maybe this is 2(b)). I'm still debating just what and how I want to post stuffs here. I'm thinking I may steal a leaf from voltbang and do a "who wants to be in which filter" poll. I'm really torn between juicy work stories and the other, more R-rated stuff. I'm absolutely not leaving both out in the open, or even just under a friends filter. *sigh* I learnt my lesson!
