| More Disorganized Thoughts1. I think I don't like Xanga anymore. I never liked it much, but it was easy and convenient and what I started blogging with.
2. I don't like the way the whole set-up is now, and all the hoops I'd have to jump through to get it private the way I want it to be.
3. So, I'm keeping this blog until I hit my 5 year blog anniversary (sometime in August) and then we'll see where I go from there. I suspect I'll finally start using my Livejournal, on a Friends Only setting.
4. The whole Islas Xanga community has gotten worse and worse, anyway. In fact, the whole Islas community. It's not what it was; and frankly, I'm not interested in what it is, just what it was. It's time for me to move on.
5. I like Disney's first three princesses-- Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. They're pretty and sweet. The rest stink.
6. Like most of Disney.
7. I need a copy of 'Anne of Windy Poplars'. I finally finished 'Anne of the Island' and I'm eager to move on to 'Anne's House of Dreams'. But I definitely need the transitional book.
8. I was so relieved when she finally decided she loved Gilbert.
9. Who DOESN'T love Gilbert?
10. It was nice the way they made the movies. Davy and Dora would have been sickening. The way they gave Davy's line (about Gilbert dying) to Minnie-May really was fantastically good.
11. I brought my marching band uniform home for the last time yesterday. It's a really great-looking uniform, I just wish I had a girl's jacket. Oh well.
12. I know, there must be something wrong with me-- I like our band uniform?!
13. And I miss the old ones, they were pretty nifty.
14. I am so relieved that Carnaby Club is over. It was a complete waste of time for the jazz band.
15. I hate it when people talk about 'withdrawl' or 'withdrawls'.
16. And no, I refuse to admit that I am suffering from Due South withdrawal!
17. I like to say 'Cotard Syndrome'. Although it's a rather weird thing.
18. The new best thing about writing stories is designing the characters' houses. I'll never get to live in all the fantastic houses in the world, so I might as well write about them.
19. My, what a guy, that Gaston.
20. I don't ever have high school band rehearsal again.
21. We're the Iron Chefs of pounding valves.
22. I'm not really sure what it means, either.
23. Did you ever stop to wonder what is so great about the word 'candy-striped'?
24. It's a little strange (but very funny) to start singing a line from a country song and have JoeB join in the end.
25. What's even funnier is Lauren's reaction.
26. Honor God, don't worship idols, don't take God's name in vain, keep the Sabbath, honor your parents, don't murder, don't commit adultery, don't steal, don't bear false witness, don't covet, and don't eat bugs. And whatever you do, don't ever pull the fire alarm.
27. It's time to watch Master and Commander again.
28. And read some more Patrick O'Brian.
29. I've missed Pullings and Bonden.
30. Their absence was conspicuous.
31. My fictional captain Jack is surnamed Aubrey.
32. And yes, he's a cad, a bit too like Nelson; but at least he understands the physics of sailing and doesn't act as if they don't matter.
33. I want to go sailing.
34. If I talk anymore, I'll run out of things to say.
35. Hahah.

| if I organized my thoughts, they would never come through to you1. There seem to be about 12 different Canadian actors, and at one time or another I think they've each appeared on Due South AND Red Green.
2. If you haven't watched Due South, you should. It's like if JoeB was a Mountie in Chicago, only more gullible than he would ever be.
3. And if Tyler was his detective sidekick!
4. Senior year is ridiculous. Everything at the school seems to be falling around my feet, all the silly lofty ideas I had. It's good to know I only have one more week of being there.
5. The habit is so ingrained that I brought my Jazz I folder home from Carnaby Club Saturday night.
6. Apparently (haha!) we drowned out the show choir on Knock on Wood. How...surprising. I'll tell you, taking that last section up an octave was pretty difficult at the end of the night. But obviously well worth it.
7. Jazz I is over. For good. I am having a hard time believing it. It is strange to think that something I've worked so hard for 3 years running is now finished.
8. I'm looking forward to going to Springfield. I've had to turn down so many opportunities just because I'm going to be there 3 days; it's ridiculous. So I am impatient for it to finally happen, to show to me it was worth it.
9. Of course it will be-- I'll get to see that chubby little Bechard baby!
10. I am dying to sing something soon. I miss performing. I need an excuse.
11. If I don't end up doing summer Shakespeare (looking very doubtful) I think it would be great to put on The Importance of Being Earnest.
12. Really, I'll say it again, Due South is fantastic.
13. It's time for me to read some more Patrick O'Brian. I miss it sooooo much!
14. The only thing is, it makes me want to sail. I want to be out on the sea. I want to climb rigging and skylark. I want the salt-spray in my face!
15. And here I am, in Iowa. Oh, I love Iowa, but if only it had an ocean.
16. Of course, that would be ridiculous.
17. As it is, Lake Red Rock is pretty nice. I'm enjoying being able to drive there when the weather is nice.
18. I'm praying the weather is nice for Tulip Time-- I'm in a parade every day! I think the only parade I won't be in is Friday night.
19. I bought new wooden shoes. They rock. They were cheap. New wooden shoes that are carved and painted are not. These were from a garage sale.
20. 21. I am impatient for life to get started. How foolish. | | |
| I know that my Redeemer liveth!
Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought forth Israel into joy from sadness;
Loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke Jacob’s sons and daughters,
Led them with unmoistened foot through the Red Sea waters.
’Tis the spring of souls today; Christ has burst His prison,
And from three days’ sleep in death as a sun hath risen;
All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying
From His light, to Whom we give laud and praise undying.
Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render;
Comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus’ resurrection.
Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal hold Thee as a mortal;
But today amidst the twelve Thou didst stand, bestowing
That Thy peace which evermore passeth human knowing.
“Alleluia!” now we cry to our King immortal,
Who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb’s dark portal;
“Alleluia!” with the Son, God the Father praising,
“Alleluia!” yet again to the Spirit raising.
I was happy to sing those lines this morning... because there was snow on the ground-- but it is the spring of souls and the winter of sin is flying! He is risen!  yet in my flesh shall I see God | | |
