Aslan
11-13-12
This song came up on Pandora, so I heard it for the first time tonight. It's by Kendall Payne and is called "Aslan." It's fantastic.
(The song ends at 3:50 or so. The videomaker added a personal note at the end. Just FYI.)
The quality isn't as good as the Pandora version, but it's the lyrics one should listen to. Yay literature!

Science
3-16-12 (Well, it's the 17th now, but I haven't gone to bed yet.)
Fiction-y.
___________
He was luminous. Not that he really glowed, per se. It just wasn't scientifically possible.
He didn't glitter, either, and she preferred it that way. After all, not everything that was gold glittered, and he didn't need to glitter for her to know that he was gold.
She would just have to be herself in order to let him see that she was also luminous.
___________
"Many Roads" by Andrew Peterson: This is just a song that is speaking to me at the moment. I really like the story encapsulated in this piece. It works on just so many different levels. Also, I don't think it's related to the fiction-y piece, but I didn't want to put a different post up top just to share a song on YouTube.

"The Havens Grey"
1-31-12
A friend re-introduced me to Andrew Peterson. Oh my, his music is awesome. If lyrics and style are any indication, he's a Tolkien and Lewis fan. (Yes, that's relevant.) Anyway, the song of his that I have just fallen in love with is called "The Havens Grey." It's definitely worth a few listens to, especially if you're a LOTR fan. (At least, for me it is.) Enjoy.

Christmas on the Promenade
12-1-11
Christmas on the Promenade is my favorite event at Southern. At least, I'm pretty sure it is. Most everyone gathers out at Taylor Circle, listens to the academy band, watches the Thanksgiving tree be lit, and then walks up and down the Promenade listening to musical groups perform, looking at the decorations, and eating doughnuts and drinking hot chocolate or hot cider.
I found a couple different groups of friends to walk with, especially after I lost the one group when trying to make it through the hordes of people (students, staff, faculty, community) in front of Lynn Wood and the food tables. (I found them again by the library, where we listened to the Jazz Band and discussed Harry Potter.) It feels like it's the holiday season now--and that last year wasn't the same when it was canceled due to rain. Christmas on the Promenade is my favorite school event, but I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's because of the feeling I get from milling around, seeing people I haven't seen for weeks, and listening to music.
It's like most everyone can pretend that it's not the week before the week before finals, that there's not major projects and/or papers to finish and turn in, that all there is to do in the world is strolling down the Promenade, seeing friends, smiling, shivering in the cold and not regarding the cold.
The stars are brilliant tonight--and I saw them as I came back to the village, the sounds of jazzy Christmas music fading behind me. The smell of wood smoke and snow was in the air, though I wouldn't know why either smell was there. But my heart was warm and my feet were light. Even if my feet were a bit cold after the two and a half hours I spent at Christmas on the Promenade.
More later.

Giving Thanks
11/25/10
Currently I'm listening to Jeremy Camp's "My Desire" over and over again. (If you've never heard it, watch this.) It's weird how sometimes a person can listen to a song over and over again and not grow tired of it. My favorite section, the one that's speaking me to right now, is the following: "All my life I have seen / Where you've taken me / Beyond all I have hoped / And there's more left unseen." It's speaking to me because it's a statement of "I known You've led me in the past and will continue to lead me, even if I don't know where I'm going." For me, and the journey as regarding my education/career, etc these last two weeks, it's been a good reminder.

Today is Thanksgiving, and I'm thankful for lots of things (even if it sometimes doesn't seem like it).
I'm thankful for sunshine, smiles, and time spent with friends. I'm thankful for my family and for teachers who open their homes so I can have a Thanksgiving dinner with other people. I'm thankful that I have an apartment to live in, feet to walk with, food to eat, the ability to read and write, a computer, and the Internet. I can see, I can hear, I can think. I am greatly blessed, and these things that I've just listed is what came off the top of my head. I'm sure there's more that I'm thankful for.
More later.
