This...is... absolutely breathtaking.

It has been my dream all my life....(well since I knew...)

That I want a Medieval wedding. :) It sounds impossible, but I have big dreams to make it the culmination of my endeavor of purity. Here are some pictures of dresses and decoration.

A small essay i wrote:
My name is Elspeth Finley. In the past, I was a particularly social woman, and my guests were awfully famous persons, who came to sit in my parlor (it’s really quite lovely, the parlor) and have strong English tea.
But certain, most worrisome events led me to somewhat logical conclusions. That I was, and still am, in terrible danger. Those certain events included receiving a letter from somewhere in Russia, with no return address, only the initials, “S.T.” written in cursive on the back. The letter was as follows:

Dear Miss Finley
This unfortunate letter is to inform you that you are in terrible danger. I loathe being the bearer of this fearsome news but I could not stay my pen to warn you. I was not supposed to tell you.
Until we send a guardian to board in a room within your home (a room that you may or may not want to offer to your potential guardian) please stay safe and secure in your home. You will be reimbursed for any deliveries made to your home (e.g. groceries, and sundry items). I do hope and pray that I have not frightened you too much. I’d rather not deal with such matters.

Yours respectfully,
S.T.

You can imagine my confusion and fear at receiving this letter. This was one of the first events that would take place. After I received the letter from this “S.T.” I immediately went to the grocers, the library, and every other store where I regularly shopped, and had all my future orders arranged so that they’d be sent to my door directly. I even had all the deliverymen’s personal history files to review, just in case.
And so, I began my life as a solitary. I was distraught when I had to turn my guests queries away, and tell them it was merely a personal choice. This was not a reliable argument, for how many socialites convert to solitary confinement?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can finally see that you're right there beside me.
I am not my own, for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately need you.
I am not my own, for I have been made new.
Please don't let me go, I desperately need you.

A short "story"

It reminds me of a day in my past when I began to dream under an azure, star-speckled sky. The moon was a thin crescent, and I was a tired woman in need of rest. I was heavy with child. I was scared. The man tending the goats in the field was a comfort in the way he was soft voiced and telling me that it was all right. My husband had been slain under unmerciful hands, and Hafren was forgiving of my angry tears. When I calmed, he gave me food and drink.
He told me he wanted to father my child. Hafren’s serious eyes were sincere as he told me what my husband had said. “Guard her in the event of my death. Take her as your own. Take her children, take her… as yours.” Hafren told me everything. I began weeping. For how often do you lose one love, yet gain another?

A bit of Virgina Woolf's writing, an essay called "A Lead Pencil"


In these minutes in which a ghost has been sought for, a quarrel composed, and a pencil bought, the streets had become completely empty. Life had withdrawn to the top floor, and lamps were lit. The pavement was dry and hard; the road was of hammered silver. Walking home through the desolation one could tell oneself the story of the dwarf, of the blind men, of the party in the Mayfair mansion, of the quarrel in the stationer’s shop.
Into each of these lives one could penetrate a little way, far enough to give oneself the illusion that one is not tethered to a single mind, but can put on briefly for a few minutes the bodies and minds of others. One could become a washerwoman, a publican, a street singer. And what greater delight and wonder can there be than to leave the straight lines of personality and deviate into those footpaths that lead beneath brambles and thick tree trunks into the heart of the forest where live those wild beasts, our fellow men?

That is true: to escape is the greatest of pleasures; street haunting in winter the greatest of adventures. Still as we approach our own doorstep again, it is comforting to feel the old possessions, the old prejudices, fold us round; and the self, which has been blown about at so many street corners, which has battered like a moth at the flame of so many inaccessible lanterns, sheltered and enclosed.
Here again is the usual door; here the chair turned as we left it and the china bowl and the brown ring on the carpet. And here—let us examine it tenderly, let us touch it with reverence—is the only spoil we have retrieved from all the treasures of the city, a lead pencil.

This is Em! I'm posting whilst some of the kids are at the parade, some are watching an old movie upstairs.

Somehow i brought celery stalks down here. seriously, they are right by the keyboard, leering at me. haha.

So Tom has fallen off a roof, broken both heels, chipped some teeth, and is alive, if not worse for the wear. WHEW, whatta sentence. I'm thinking I am going to go visit him. (hinthint) I also have a gift for him to enjoy while he sits around recovering from something he will never do again (not while i am alive). *waits for a smattering of laughter*

I am good. I finished 24 ish photoshopped pictures for FB. they look nice. I'm the main subject+others. ;) Haha they were really fun. i did them to try and figure out Elements 5.0...and i still have not.

Art journals........two in process, two more getting ready to start. In order of ordering them, they are

1,2- Jon Barnes
3- Hannah Swearman
4- Tom Belliveau

Boy am I busy these days, I haven't had the chance to paint because of the trip we took to Oklahoma! :( And yet i sat and relaxed the days after we got back, doing NOTHING. *hits self over head with paperback*

I hope I can get this all done, and buy the D40! o-m-w. I am so happy I chose one and settled on it.

That celery looks really good.

Quick! Goodies! Here they are!
