neither you nor i

things are very good in toronto. i am feeling very good and glad. but also i am very much missing home right now. and the people who are it. my magical family. i am nervous at the possibility of christmas without emma & charlie. i don't even know what that would look like. i am sad that declan is getting so big. i hope he won't be as shy as me, and that he'll always be warm to his aunt erin. i am grateful to have love so big that it hurts.

tonight i'll be roasting pumpkin seeds. and sleeping in flannel sheets (even though it is not cold enough here, and i have to leave the window open so i don't roast myself). my heart will be in the prairies, driving from farm to farm with gerry, collecting candy and drinks.

when i decided to dye my hair dark, i had to come up with an appropriate halloween option. i was deciding between:

audrey horne. and. an owl. 

i brought this up with roommate-sarah and because she is so smart she said: 'why not be an audrey horne(d) (owl)?'

i tell you all the time. she is so smart. so that is exactly what i did. and sure, no one got it. but it was HILARIOUS for me. and i got to do up my eyebrows like hells yeah. (i worked all day long on making owl wings, and then i was so tired from all the sewing that i abandoned the party i was at early, and didn't get a decent picture of my awesome outfit. daaaaamns. damns you sleepiness! these rubbish cell-photos will have to do... i mean. it is creepy weird in the lobby, like twin peaks. so. that's good.)
