Sparrows and Pennies

I have such wonderful people in my life and am so many kinds of happy, I'm not entirely sure I can think straight. So some random thoughts from me to you.



The soul is healed by being with children.- Fyodor Dostoevsky

So there's this episode of Doctor Who with the new Doctor and he's trying to get Amy to decide whether she really wants to travel with him or whether she wants to be with Rory (which she really does, goodness knows why). They flip back and forth between these two different realities and she finally realizes that she wants to be where Rory is when he dies in one of the realities. I have decided that I need this for my life.

I forgot what I was missing.

Notre Dame de Paris. Mon Dieu.

Pour tous les hosannas et tous les alleluias
Mais celle que je prefere
Parmi toutes ces femmes de fer
Ce sont les trois Maries
Qui sont mes meilleures amies
Il y a la petite Marie
Pour les enfants qu'on met en terre
Il y a la grande Marie
Pour les marins qui partent en mer
Mais quand je sonne la grosse Marie
Pour les amants qui se marient
C'est pas que j'ai le cœur à rire
Je l'aurais plutôt à mourir
De les voir si joyeux
De les voir si heureux
Moi qu'aucune femme ne regardera jamais dans les yeux
De les voir convoler
De les voir s'envoler
Au milieu des étoiles sous la voûte des cieux
Toutes les cloches que je sonne
Kyrie Eleison
Hosanna alleluia dies irae dies illa
Toutes ces cloches de malheur
Toutes ces cloches de bonheur
Toutes ces cloches qui n'ont jamais encore sonné pour moi


I'll love you, Quasimodo. Ah mon coeur!

Text from me to Sarah: "A middle aged man just rode his shopping cart down the parking lot in front of me. His wife with their baby in a stroller just followed and laughed."
From Sarah to me: "Yes! There is hope for humanity!"

You spoke to me! I'm delighted.

The bishop in Les Mis is my favorite Victor Hugo character. I want to be him. Also, Victor Hugo? Wonderful. Next on my reading list is Notre Dame de Paris, which is the real life version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which is not like the Disney movie. I'll ruin it for you- Phoebus is a jerk. Jerk jerk jerk jerk jerk. Also, his name is much more amusing in French.

Why, yes, I am a BA. It says so on my ring. Also a ninja. With feet of steel.

And a fairy lightsaber. Dollar store victory!

I'm finding everything I'll ever need by giving up being everything.

See, I just needed you to be awesome so I can remember how unimportant I am.

No, really, my pride is going to be the death of me. It's a stubborn little sucker, I'll give it that.

Fireflies: inside jokes that somehow still delight my soul. Also, the favorite pet of children of all ages.

Eustace and the dragon is my favorite story in the Chronicles of Narnia, closely followed by Edmund's role in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I like redemption stories.
___________________________________________________

"'In our world,' said Eustace, 'a star is a huge ball of flaming gas.'
'Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is but only what it is made of.'"

Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters has to be better than the real thing. I swear, if someone doesn't propose to Elinor soon, I'm going to put the book down. And if the Colonel doesn't marry Elinor, I am no judge of Jane Austen's plot lines. (*Note- I am no judge of Jane Austen's plot lines.*)

I have wonderful friends. You know who you are.

I have wonderful parents. On Facebook, my dad posts on my mom's wall (she's taking an education class):
Not doing too much homework tonight while on facebook, now are we ???
Comment by my mother: No just had to check it out before bed. Are you coming?
Comment by my father: watching tv. be there soon

Presh!

My two rules that I contributed to camp today:
5. Be Awesome.
9. Love God.

I think I have a new motto.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. (Matthew 10:29)
