Titles are overrated.

I have been tardy.  No excuses this time.

Now that the obvious has been said, I'll start this much-delayed entry with a list of notable happenings in my crazy life:

1.  Mister Cool celebrated his 15th birthday on February 2nd.  Katie was there, and we all played an entertaining (and fiercely competitive, I might add) game of Risk, in which the Elven forces were sadly overcome by the armies of Rohan, Harad, and the Shire.  We were forced to flee to the White Shores before our race was wiped out entirely. *weeps*

2.  We danced the Virginia Reel in our homeschool PE group last week.  The thing that made it much more amusing than usual was the fact that Katie stepped on my floor-length skirt as we were attempting to twirl down the line of dancers, and the result would have been disastrous had I not been wearing opaque black leggings underneath.  Still, you should have heard me scream...

3.  I just found out that I have to take the ACT and the SAT come April, instead of one or the other.  (They are college-entry exams.)  Pray for me; I am panicking.

4.  Ever heard of Chaim Potok?  I hadn't, until about a month ago.  He was a Jewish rabbi and author of several books, including The Chosen and My Name is Asher Lev.  His writing can be described by me in one word: breathtaking.  The way he describes things, you can literally smell the paint on a canvas and feel heat waves as they dance on the streets of Paris.  His books are also a good way to gain insight into the religion of orthodox Jews.  Read something by him.  Now!

5.  I have been thinking about this blog, and also about my domain, Runaway-Muse.net.  And the thought ocurred to me: wouldn't it be a lot simpler if I just gave this blog a spot on Runaway-Muse.net?  That way, I could have everything in one spot to edit with ease.  (If I recall correctly, Jocelyn Dixon did a similar thing with her blog, a Pondering Heart.)  Let me know what you think!  Nothing is concrete yet.

Oh, dear.  My mom is telling me that it's bedtime, and I haven't even launched into this entry yet.  Oh, well.  This is better than nothing.

Omg, are you feeling well? o.o *takes temperature* You posting should be counted as one of the wonders of the world.

I wish you good luck on those exam thingies. Hmm... I realised I have no idea what they are, what level of... "smartness" you're at or anything o.o I have this feeling that Americans learn much more advanced stuff than what Norwegians do. At least, that's the impression I get from TV.
