New Year
It’s a new year. It doesn’t feel like it, at all. It is though. 2010 went amazingly fast. Lots of things happened, yadayadayada. I’d like to say that 2011 will be a lot different, but who knows anything about that? Certainly not me.
I’m hoping for more laughter, more decisions, more change, more whatever. I’m hoping for a good year. I don’t think it’s...

I haven’t written a lot on tumblr lately. But this seems like an appropriate place to say this. Seeing as though its common ground.
So, I guess you are mad at me. I don’t really understand why, but you didn’t answer. Maybe you aren’t. Maybe you’re tooootally fine. Then this post is kind of worthless.
I didn’t mean to make you mad. I thought I was just saying...

A peek into my mind today...
It’s winter break, hoorah. Now i can go home and do… nothing….
salsa dancing is fun, I want to teach someone someday.
what should I do with my life?

Daily thoughts
I can’t decide. History vs. fashion? UGh!
On the plus side. Tiffany is taking her reference photos for the portrait tomorrow, and that is basically the best honor of my entire life!
Only problem is… I have to look good
I really have to study for APE. Goodbye my sweet tumblr :(

For love of history
Today in Euro. Something jumped out at me. The topic we are currently focusing on is Napoleon and his empire, and today at the beginning of our usual class discussion we were talking about the way he was able to govern France.
Now for all of y’all who are unsure about Napoleon and his history here’s an EXTREMELY brief life summary: He staged a coup d’etat in 1799 that some...

Over the Banister
Over the banister leans a face, tenderly sweet and beguiling
While below her with tender grace
He watches the picture smiling.
A light burns dim in the hall below
Nobody sees them standing
Saying goodnight again, soft and low.
Halfway up to the landing.
Nobody, only those eyes of brown
Tender and full of meaning
Gaze on the loveliest face in town
Over the banister leaning.

Oh, I can’t take another heartache Though you say you’re my friend I’m at my wits end You say your love is bonafide But that don’t coincide With the things that you’re doing When I ask you to be nice
You say you gotta be Cruel to be kind, in the right measure Cruel to be kind, it’s a very good sign Cruel to be kind, means that I love you Baby, you...

Wonderful Buffy Moment
Xander: You know, it's the whole sex leads to responsibility thing, which I personally don't get. You gotta take care of the egg. It's a baby. You've got to keep it safe and teach it Christian values.
Willow: My egg is Jewish.
Xander: Then teach it that dreidel song.

A List.
Every time I think I like something and don’t say anything about it, whether it is an idea or a style or whatever, it seems to pass me by and suddenly I feel like everyone knows about it and no one cares. Why couldn’t I just have said it and never felt ashamed in the first places. So here we go. I like…

The Rules of Courtly Love
Honestly, I can’t find one that isn’t true in some way…
From The Art of Courtly Love by Andreas Capellanus
Marriage is no real excuse for not loving.
He who is not jealous cannot love.
No one can be bound by a double love.
It is well known that love is always increasing or decreasing.
That which a lover takes against the will of his beloved has no relish.
Boys do not love...
