the friday five

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?
novels! I read a few magazines and the newspaper too - but mainly novels for me.

2. What is your favorite novel?
Hmmm, that’s a toughie. I don’t have just one favorite…I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith or The Map of Love by Ahdaf Soueif are the two that come to mind.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
Wow, I have so many. The first one that came to mind….

XVII by Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

4. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
I have a huge huge list of books I’d like to read - I’m adding to the list daily, pretty much. I’d love to be able to read every single thing on the list right now.

5. What are you currently reading?
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy and Last Chance Saloon by Mirian Keyes.

1) a comfy chair.

2) a big mug of hot tea.

3) a big cozy wool blanket.

4) a good Ella CD… (or maybe this one)

5) a good book.

:heart:

fidgety.

Wednesday, February 26th, 2003

I am so fidgety tonight… I don’t know what the deal is. It could be my pain killers… (some days I’m on them, some days I’m not… just depends on how I feel) Things just don’t feel ‘right’ tonight. (does that make any sense?) It all goes back to me just not feeling 100% - which I mentioned in a previous post. Organizing is what I feel like doing - but I’ve organized just about everything that can be organized. Hmmm.. I need to find more things to organize! *looks at her Inbox*

Oooooor, I could always re-do things around my site. Hmmm..

Any other suggestions? :)

Hmm, no title.

Things are pretty quiet here lately - my babbling skills seem to be nonexistant right now. Won’t be long before they’re up and running again, I’m sure! :wink: There just doesn’t seem to be anythin’ interesting going on at the moment.

I’ve been trying to work on emails today… I’m making some progress… just rather…slowly. Hey, better than nothing I guess, right? :)
How is everyone’s week going so far?

Friday Five

the friday five

1. What is your most prized material possession?
I don’t think I have just one…I’m going to go with something that belonged to my grandma. I adore anything that belonged to her.

2. What item, that you currently own, have you had the longest?
A teddy bear my father bought me on the day I was born… things like that. :)
3. Are you a packrat?
Hmmm, not really. I do keep things like letters/postcards/old journals, etc… If it meant something to me or reminded me of a situation I wanted to remember - then I keep it.

4. Do you prefer a spic-and-span clean house? Or is some clutter necessary to avoid the appearance of a museum?
I don’t like completely-stuffy atmospheres. I like for it to be spacious and roomy - but cozy too at the same time. (if that makes sense?) I like clean… not too cluttered…just not “perfect”.

5. Do the rooms in your house have a theme? Or is it a mixture of knick-knacks here and there?
Theme… not really. Every room is different.

rain rain go away…

I’m sitting here looking at my folder of emails I need to reply to… I actually created a new folder for them since I didn’t want to forget any and I’m so slow at replying right now. Wow, some of these are old. If you haven’t heard from me in awhile, I’m so sorry. I really need to work on some of these this weekend.

What is everyone doing for the weekend? My plans are just to rest… heal… and hope the rain doesn’t last too long. :)

I hope ya’ll have a great one!! :)

not so sure…

Has anyone heard much about My Big Fat Greek Life? The website says it comes on Sunday, but I saw an ad on TV earlier saying Monday. Hmm. hehe Anyways, anyone going to watch it? I’m not sure - I can’t see how they can continue the magic that the movie possessed…we’ll see, I guess!

Conan is the best!

Did anyone else see that thing last night where he went out and played in the snow… and played “King of the Mountain” with some random guy? :lol:
:heart:

I love Conan.
