Orominuialwen has just left Hobbiton.
I now say goodbye to a sig I quite enjoyed:
Quote:
For the good are always the merry,
Save by an evil chance,
And the merry love the fiddle
And the merry love to dance.
It's from The Fiddler of Dooney, by W.B. Yeates, and rather expresses my outlook on things. The band I linked to in it (which is one of my absolute favorites) recites the whole poem on one of their CDs, and I really love it.

Seeing as it's already getting on to the third Sunday in Advent, it's time I changed to my Christmas sig.

Farewell! Time to replace you with something more appropriate with the season.

Mr. Wyclef Jean & Co. helped me through the grief of losing my cousin and my godfather's daughter this autumn. It's a beautiful version of "No Woman No Cry," and I highly recommend it.

Finals week is upon us. The thought of utopia has faded. The decay which this institution so loves has taken a toll on my already feeble carcass, in result of consuming repulsive dining hall rations. Survival is a dim hope...God help us all...
Putting this away till next semmester.

Retiring this one for now; maybe it'll come back later. I do so adore it.

christmas is over, and I now turn my eyes elsewhere (when I can spare them from my new books and video games). an election is coming, and I want my opinion known. I fear all the other Canadian wights will now want to lynch ME for ruining our reputation.
