Spinning, spinning limbs,
Tattered dress, and her hymn
Circles, captures, enraptures.
She is the falcon in the gyre.
Steady, strong, steadfast,
Bride with veil, a dance
Of attics and asylums, perne
On bare feet, a breathing pearl.
Humming, hushing, haunting,
Smoky tendrils, taunting
Those who harm the swan.
The knight of girls long gone.
Spinning, spinning waltz,
Spiralling, she will never stop.
She who sets hearts aglow,
The Lovely Lady Vertigo.

My heart lies in writing fiction and poetry, though I do like to paint for pleasure. I do believe that my purpose in life is to write, so I am pursuing my goals.
I am a librarian in a hospital.
I am currently wiping away a lot of what was here. It's a work in progress.

So, since it's very official and all, I thought I would also mention here that I have been indeed accepted into the Masters of Library and Information Science at Western University, and if everything goes well, I should be moving to London Ontario in May. Imagine, I'm going to be getting my masters! See, I am WICKED. The only things left really is waiting on to see if my man has been accepted as well, since his program opened up submission applications way after mine, and to wait for housing notification.
Other than that, everything is pretty good. I'm on page 52 (single spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman) of my manuscript. Woot :)
Oh, and I FIN
The 16 is the last day of school, then it's winter holidays! The 16th is both an exam day and an essay hand in date, so I'm very worried. But I'm sure I'll be ok. I always pull myself out.
Other than that, I'm really looking forward to working on my website, poetry, and writing my manuscript :)
So what the "NOOO!" is about, is that I want to pay for a domain name of my own, as I have been hosted at tripod for free for YEARS and had a slight episode with them back in October (if you want to hear more, ask). But the title I have used for years, blackandlavender, has been taken!! NOOO!! Yet the person who took it hasn't uploaded anything...so
4th year of university. Geeze I'm busy. I barely have time to update here. I got 40+ pages done of my manuscript, but I wish I could have done more, and more so, I wish I could be working on it now. Sigh. Maybe I'll post a small passage one day soon.
Yesterday was my birthday :P I'm 21 now! Since I live in Canada, I have been considered an adult for quite some time, but I don't act like it. One day...maybe when I'm 60...THEN I'll grow up. But not now. At least now I can drink in America, though it will probably be forever until I go again...
Anything else...just school stuff. I'm so stressed out. I love my classes, but there is just too muc
