Is tiring, and I love it.
The End.

Commas, sunburns, and tadpoles.
And a new layout...that is still work-in-progress...
So, I am reading John Locke's Second Treatise of Government. Or at least I am supposed to be. I just don't have a whole lot of determination to read it, especially with his affinity for commas and sentences that resemble paragraphs.
And as for sunburns, I have turned the most marvelous shade of scarlet. But I guess it was for a good cause; yesterday at the beach was soooo much fun. My friends and I regressed at least ten years and had mud fights and buried each other in the sand. :D (However, safety cautions that people standing within 100 feet should whip out their sunglasses, because I'm pretty sure the UV rays from my face will either blind or really, really hurt your eyes.)
T.A.D.P.O.L.E. (The Art Dump Place of Lovely Entries), my new art site, is up and running as of today. When you feel the desire, or are just plain bored, I will now be posting random bits of art there.
And so, without much further adieu...
I bid you...
Adieu.

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.
*rant* *rant* *rant* :/

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...:/)

Ah, pulchritudo!
In a random moment of glee and happiness, I shall provide my good audience with such a Link as:
http://freeplaymusic.com/search/category_search.php?t=v&i=962
(Please press the "Preview" buttons on songs #1 and #5...but, if you are scared of badly-accented Cockney grasshoppers, refrain from #5...)
The first is a thing of beauty. The second...perhaps not as much...:)
Oh, and just for the world to know, First Love Calvary Chapel Christian ISP's production of The Taming of the Shrew is coming up in three weeks...and my dear director and her family (her oldest son of which happens to be the main part) just had to go and get stomach flu! GAH!
Pray for mercy. And no more stomach flu.

Teehee...it's Friday!!!!!
Yah! And d'ya know what Friday means????
NO MORE SCHOOL TILL MONDAY!!!!
*giggle*
*chuckle*
*guffaw*
.....
Okay, so, yes. I am ridiculously ecstatic, exuberant, and all other manner of words beginning in "e" that denote happniess. Isn't that glorious?
And now it's time for
Random Words in Latin:
Porrigo (poor-rig-oh)- Dandruff
Tosticula (toh-stick-you-lah)- Little Hairdresser (courtesy of Latin 3; commonly used as an "insult" for passers-by)
And, my personal favorite,
Sandaligerula (san-dahl-ih-gare-you-lah)- Maid who picks up sandals...
Aren't bad fohnetiks fun?
Most of these words were randomly found in the Latin-English dictionary as a result of Study Hall periods with nothing else to do. (Mainly with my amici boni www.aboveallshadowridesthesun.blogspot.com and www.checkity.blogspot.com. View their lovely blogs or else. Your soul will be better for it...)
And, just for one last thing, our Shakespeare play (Taming of the Shrew) is coming up (May 21st; four more rehearsals till the Big One)...And half the cast barely knows their lines! Oh joy and happiness!!
Our director's threats of crying grow more abundant as we "progress"...

Schoolhouse Rock...

Yes. It so does. I simply needed to state this ultimate truth, this beautiful reality. Schoolhouse Rock is amazing and...well, yeah.

Randomosity ensues...
Ah yes, the everlasting joys of...Latin?!
Yes, my friends, today my Latin teacher announced that we were to write Latin plays. With the group I got, our character list consists of a Schizophrenic Cat, a Hippie Wizard, an Evil, Unnamed person w/ a Snake Voice, and a Poor Person, who also happens to be the hero of the story...
Latin is not something to be trifled with.
And the below picture, by the way, is a random, practice...thing that I drew out of boredom.
I must say that I'm ridiculously proud of it. :) (you can view my "art site" at
www.celestialbeauty.deviantart.com)
Till next time, folks.

In principio...
Erat verbum, et verbum erat- oh, heh...never mind.
Indeed. So, anyways, here is my loverly blog. At least, I think it's loverly.
To introduce myself in a nutshell, I am a nut. :0) Huzzah. I am a student of the great Mr. Leigh (you can view his blog at www.isleofthemighty.blogspot.com) and I like Latin (yeah, that dead language that takes forever to learn), Shakespeare (at least, Shakespearean plays), food, sleeping, singing (off-key, mostly), piano and art. And the color blue and bunnies and...
Yes. That is me, the nut, in a nutshell.
Hopefully I shall be getting some art up here soon; I am writing/drawing a "graphic novel" (aka a comic, call it whatever you want) and will post it here (again, hopefully). Mayhap you shall like. Mayhap not.
