And There Was Rain . .

The sky wore a veil of gold and green, at night it was the bright of the moon with me. Time just floating away.

Ha, those are lyrics to a Coldplay song called Rainy Day that, besides being totally awesome, are very befitting of today. Though it's not as much rain as it is torrential downpour. I stayed in bed this morning reading. ^.^ I coudn't decide which awesome book to start first, so I started three of them at the same time. Last night John spend the evening at his mother's house and I had six glorious hours to myself while Daddy went to work. I finished one book before he got home and it was awesome!

Anyway, today is rainy and cold, but I don't mind because I haven't heard a thunderstorm in so long. But it also means today nothing happened. So, for the sake of boredom, I'll share a few of my favorite quotes.

Because, if you don't know by now, I'm a little obsessed with quotes. I loves me some quotes.

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
This is the type of quote I read and think, damn it, why didn't I think of that?!

Calamity, n. A more than commonly plain and unmistakable reminder that the affairs of this life are not of our own ordering.

Friends can be said to "fall in like" with as profound a thud as romantic partners fall in love. ~Letty Cottin Pogrebin
I absolutely love this quote because it's so true. Soul mates and kindred spirits are so not just for romance.

Freaks are the much needed escape from the humdrum. They are poetry. ~Albert Perry


Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace; whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price!"

And finally, this poem. I found it on a bookmark. ^.^

"Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream." Edgar Allen Poe


Word of the Day: Badinage and Persiflage

They both mean light and witty banter. I found them in the book I was reading last night and bam! It was love at first sight. Come on, say them. How could you not like them?
