Does anyone feel...?

Like they need a break from life in general?

Or to learn again -and to dwell forever in the sweet moment of revelation- what life is actually about? (Even though you know that's not what is completely right or good for you?)

Does anyone feel as if their feet were somewhere besides solid ground, and their hearts were stuck on earth?

Or feel that they are viewing the world and life from a different perspective than everyone else? As if you were an outsider, and not a participant?

Because that's kind of how I feel right now.

In oddly eloquent words.


But then, you read something like...

"5 Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. 7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings." (Jer. 17:5-10)

*sigh*...I don't like being superficial.

No, I am not dead...

Behold! I live...

There is really no proper/good excuse for my extended absence from such worthy activities as blogging. I was simply lazy and whatnot.

So, as I have not posted in practically forever, I suppose I shall now. Starting with what in the world I've been doing (or, not been doing) this summer.

TOP FIVE ACTIVITIES
5. Chores (I have conquered many loads of laundry in the past few weeks)
4. Various Internet surfing adventures
3. Watching good movies (Lady in the Water, The Village, The Visitation, Spiderman 3 and Ratatouille :D)
2. Playing Phantom of the Opera music (on the piano) until my fingers (and the ears of all my family members) fall off.
1. Alternately reading Nancy Drew mysteries and Macbeth! :) :) :) (The height of my summer intellectual stimulation is astounding, no?)
(0. I suppose drawing, as well.)

FIVE HAPPY THINGS,
5. New Torrey books (that are huge)!
4. Complete and Unabridged works of Shakespeare for two dollars!
3. New Latin book (that is also huge)!
2. The general relief of not having schoolwork!
1. My relatives (who live in Washington State) visiting for an entire week next week!
(0. Spending the weekend at one of my bestitiest friend's house; Mary-Kate @ www.checkity.blogspot.com)

Anyways, that's the basic summary of what I've been doing for the summer.

Oh, and

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!

(bah, this text is not big enough...:/)
