Life is sweet, II

Posted on 16:13 by simmo
Life Is Sweet

What made your life sweet this past week?
  1. Digital painting in GIMP
  2. Reading The Shadow-Line, by Joseph Conrad.  His writing style is phenomenal. 
  3. Homemade cookies!
  4. Working on my latest poem, which is 3/4 finished.  Finished poem will be four parts, four stanzas per part, four lines per stanza...64 lines total.  :P 
  5. The school library, with its amazing collection of classic lit (that almost nobody else reads)
  6. Knowing how to tie a scarf in a European loop.  It's cool, practical, and (to my sheepishness) absurdly simple.
  7. Mount Rainier on a snowy day
  8. Listening to opera arias (again, lol)
  9. Rain  :)
  10. Reading blogs.  (If you want to see some inspiring art, go to Christina's latest blog post, at wunderkind-lucy.livejournal.com)

Life Is Sweet


10 things that make me happy
{in no particular order}

  1. Waltzes, polonaises, ballets...all those wonderful classical-music songs you can dance to.
  2. Typing in Small Caps   ^_^
  3. Sharing inside jokes with my sibs!
  4. Writing stories and poetry.  It may not amount to much, but it makes me feel like I've truly accomplished something.
  5. Ocean skies--those times when the clouds look like oceans and islands in the sky.
  6. Naming characters!
  7. Watching The Red-Headed League for the umpteenth time!
  8. Peach Apricot Honeybush Tea.  If only it wasn't discontinued.  :(
  9. Listening to my favourite opera arias.
  10. Pounding on the piano.  :)
