At the moment,

   "I was waiting for you," said Gregory. "Might I have a moment's conversation?"   "Certainly. About what?" asked Syme in a sort of weak wonder.
   Gregory struck out with his stick at the lamp-post, and then at the tree. "About this and this," he cried; "about order and anarchy. There is your precious order, that lean, iron lamp, ugly and barren; and there is anarchy, rich, living, reproducing itself—there is anarchy, splendid in green and gold."
   "All the same," replied Syme patiently, "just at present you only see the tree by the light of the lamp. I wonder when you would ever see the lamp by the light of the tree."

- The Man Who Was Thursday, G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton's amazing.  He fits more wit and humor into a page than most authors (myself included) can fit into five.  Oh, and Gabriel Syme is the coolest character I've met in a while.  In fact, this whole book is one of the coolest, action-packed reads ever (which is saying a lot).


Spring break is almost here, and I'm very glad.  Have been debating on what to do with a week off.  Here's the current agenda:

1. Tidy up my room.  An understatement.  :P
2. Sew.  Sew something...new spring/summer clothes, if I'm feeling practical.
3. If I'm not feeling practical, then I will draw, play piano, and work on some website designs.
4. If, on the other hand, I am feeling particularly sensible, I will pick up my notebooks and write like crazy the whole week.  I have a million ideas floating around in my head and on paper.  Prioritizing is almost painful.

If none of the above occur, it is most likely due to the side effects of too much math.  Or too many fun books to read.
