Sing me to Heaven

By Popular Demand

I present-
The Contents of my desk:

My very old Dell Laptop without internet connection that is extremely handy for writing in private. His name is Oliver.

A pair of headphones plugged into the laptop

A small painting (about 12"x8") of Neuschwanstein castle that needs a new frame before I can hang it on the wall. Currently, it is adorned with a pink sticky note bearing the quote: "Share your life, and find the finest joy man can know. Do not be stingy with your heart. Get out of yourself into the lives of others, and new life will flow into you. Share and share alike." -Joseph Fort Newton

Cellphone charger

A scrumptiously-dressed Victorian porcelain doll. It's in my way, but there's nowhere else to put it.

Daughters of Destiny compiled by Noelle Wheeler

The Dangerous Duty of Delight by John Piper

The Ballad of the White Horse by G.K.Chesterton

Melody by Laura E. Richards. I was considering doing an interp on this. But I don't believe I shall.

My pair of white lace gloves 

My silver cellphone named Ivanhoe

A Simplicity pattern, number 3673. I really want to make this dress someday. It's the most delectable little black dress I've ever seen!

The Complete Guide to Irish Dancing by Frank Whelan

The Divine Comedy by Dante

A flash drive that looks like a cockroach

A fancy little clock with roses and diamonds.. and a picture of me and my cousins in it. But it doesn't run.

A rather long ostrich feather

A scrapbooking doo-dad that somehow didn't get put away last time. :-/

I think........ there was more on my desk that I thought. =) But it would still be far more interesting to give you the contents of my bulletin boards. I have two. And really, I am convinced that anyone could learn all they wanted about me by just studying those bulletin boards. ;-)

Everyone needs a flash drive that looks like a cockroach.

You could do and Interp on Dante. Maybe?

Josie... haha. That would be epic. Probably an epic failure, but epic nonetheless! My dad thinks a movie should be made on it. There's actually an opera, I believe.

Hmm

That's interesting. From what I read in your profile, you do like sports? Cause my blog mainly has nothing (once in a while not) but sports on it. What teams do you like? And one more question, what's your favorite LOTR character?

Hmm, interesting. I don't think I'd heard of anyone naming their cellphone before. :D

Also, just so you know, some line of HTML (<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]-->) is appearing between each item on your list making it a little hard to read. I don't know if it's just my browser or something your blog format code arbitrarily decided to do. :)

Thanks for letting me know, Owen. I use Firefox, and it looked fine on here. But I saw the problem on IE and fixed it. I don't know why it messes up the formatting when I copy text sometimes....

If you see anything like that happen again, I'd appreciate the heads up!

Wow!! Nice, well, desk contents!! Hey, I use Firefox too, but I've never had that problem... I'll keep an eye out for it.

(God's) Grace with a :),

Oh, Grace, so are you planning on doing debate this year? Or only speech? (like me! ;-) )

Joy, I'm just doing speech. ;D I'm planning on doing OO, DI, Apol, and maybe HI or Duo.

So I'll be an LD timer again, I expect. ;-)

You should post a picture of your cockroach-flash drive; I'm very curious now. ;)

My desk has so many things upon it that it would take me weeks to write a post listing everything. :(
I probably need to clean it. ;)

God bless,

What an interesting post! I found it rather fascinating... for some strange reason...

It is funny to think how much you can learn from a person from their desk contents! Though I'm afraid mine wouldn't divulge much at the moment as I recently completed a cleaning blitz through my room... Oh well... However, I suppose one could learn a lot about me from my room when it's messy. That could make a very long post!

The book The Complete Guide to Irish Dancing did catch my eye... Does it actually give instructions for Irish step dancing, or just history of the dance, etc? Oh yes, and I had to go take a look at that pattern on Simplicity's website, and it is a such a lovely little dress! I suppose you would be making the black one in the center? I'd love to see how it turns out!

Have a wonderful day!

OK, so it's been a while since I've visited your blog. Sorry about that! :D I really like the name of your laptop! Maybe someday I'll get a cellphone and then name it .... um .... well .... probably Oliver, actually. It's a cool name! :D
