My View On Life


Vina -- a name like any other name . . .

I Love Ziggy! Here's something for you to color . . .




I was talking with one of my friends on AOL IM and I made some comment on how it can't just be me . . . and he's like, "Yes, it's only U, V." or maybe it's, "Yes, it's after U, V." Get it?

Be nice to me, I gave blood today. 1/11/00

". . . to be wooed by a man who knows his own mind . . ."

-- Seghers





Here's more great fun from literature!! (I hope you know I'm kidding)

"The fact that he was gifted in his profession made him all the more desperate at his idleness."

-- Anna Seghers, The Seventh Cross


"And shame it is, if a preest take keep, a shiiten sheperde and a clene sheep." -- Canterbury Tales General Prologue 503-4

(shiiten means covered in excrement)

Sshhhh, there's no profanity here.




Before I get to my wonderfully intriguing stories, here's something I heard the other day . . .

"Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
not one of them is alone."

-- Song of Songs 4:2

. . . the Bible has great stuff, huh?

In my literature class we study various different types of works. Some of the epic poetry stuff is rather funny. In The Song of Roland Olivier is fighting and his lance is worn down to the grip. Roland says, "Companion, what are you doing? Did you know steele is better?" And Olivier responded with, "I couldn't draw it; I've been so occupied today with fighting." There's sort of a morbid sense of humor to it, but it strikes me as amusing at first.

For Christmas I usually buy my cards the year before when they're on sale. I'd rather spend my money on something more substantial. Anyways, the ones for this holiday season are somewhere in my house. I can't find them because we're supposed to be moving and so everything of mine is packed away already. It's a blue card with two snowflakes on it. One says to the other, "Look! I think I see a tongue!" Snowflake #2 screams out, "Don't even joke about that!"

One day I had a peachberry drink from the Fruitopia machine. It was really good, so I tried to re-create it at the dining hall. I put in grapefruit, apple, and cranberry juice. When I went to sit down with my friends, they asked me what I was drinking. I told them it was the peach . . . oh, no! I forgot to put peach, had grapefruit instead. Silly me.
