Endings and Beginings, and some more snow

I finished A Northern Light this morning, and the ending totally caught me unawares....I was just giving up hope that there would be a happy ending, but don't worry: there is one. You just have to stick it out to the end.

Good life lesson, right? Works with just about everything. Except skydiving. You probably don't want to wait till the end to pull your parachute. Not that I know...I'm terrified of heights, and you couldn't get me to skydive for a thousand bucks. Maybe a million....

Anyway. Now I'm visiting the realm of one of my favorite authors, Tamora Pierce, with The Realm of the Gods. It's the 4th in The Immortals series, which follows the life of Daine (Veralidaine Sarrasri...don't worry, I can't pronounce that either) and her discovery that she has Wild Magic (magic with animals) in the realm of Tortall. If you've ever read Tamora Pierce before, I recomend this, it's one of my favorite series of hers. If you haven't, you definetly should. She's a brilliant author. And all her books have wonderful female heroes. Male too, but the female's are the main characters.

School's on a two hour delay today, because of the falling white stuff I mentioned in my last post. It's freezing but beautiful. It'll make running after school much more interesting, that's for sure...

Majestic silence...and falling white stuff!

It's snowing! Hooray! I think....

So, I was just looking outside and I came up with a poem/prose verse I'll put up here. The snow is beautiful, like whipped cream over everything. And the silence outside is serene.

The tree
majestic in it's silence
draped in cream
looking nothing like frosted gingerbread
instead it stands
branches held high
bearing it's burden
with an elegance
born of many tired years
holding up the sky

Hope you liked that. :)

Intro

You guys are probably wondering who I am. Well, I'm an amatuer writer, avid reader, and musician. As to the title, I never wear matching socks, except when forced. Ever. Rainbow kneehighs are my favorites...the more colors, the better.

But, anyway. The point of this blog (if it really has a point, which it doesn't) is to share writing, books, and music I like, and, who knows? Maybe you'll like them too!

To start off, right now I'm reading a book called A Northern Light, by Jennifer Donnelly. It's sort of a murder mystery, sort of a historical feminist story, and written really beautifully. If that sounds of any interest to you, I'd pick it up. There's a little bit of action, and even some romance in it as well. I got it used for five bucks, and I'm really glad I grabbed it.

Sound good? Hopefully it does. Keep reading, and who knows? Maybe I'll even get good at this blogging stuff. We can only hope.
