Life is Good

I am feeling phenomenal this weekend. It is amazing how much a very simple thing can affect someone. A mere brush of my lips against someone else's and my spirits are lifted for days. I feel beautiful and confident and unbeatable. The sunshine has been caressing my skin and now I get an extra hour of its warmth within my day. Springs' arrival is promising on the horizon and I find hope in the fact that I have survived another long, dark night.

I got the opportunity to fight twice this past week and it felt glorious. Though neither times was I performing at my optimal, it felt good to out on the field. I am desperately trying to develop greater confidence in my fighting abilities. I spoke with Sir Shub and he said that he would seriously consider taking me on as a squire. This is wonderful news for me and makes the prospect of becoming a Knight even brighter. And I finally bought my leather! Now I merely need to make it resemble some form of armor.

In other news, the long awaited movie 300 has finally graced me with its viewing pleasure. And I do mean pleasure. I enjoyed the movie immensely! It is visually stunning and very artistic. Many of the scenes and characters had me on the edge of the seat with how breathtakingly beautiful they were. For once I also loved the plot and found no fault in the acting either. There were plenty of one liners as well as a very effective narration tying the story together. I especially loved the Queen in all her defiant beauty. The theater burst into applause at the council scene. All in all, this will now be amongst my favorite movies of all time and I plan on watching it many more times. Some things did seem to make a little more sense the second time through. Though the movie literally self destructed tonight at the theater! The picture melted into a white screen and it took 15 minutes to fix it, only to have it break again. I spoke with the manager and he gave us all free tickets and let us into a later showing that had already started. It was rather hilarious.

I am looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow and then some good productive academic work. I need to turn in my honors paper draft by Thursday and it is not nearly ready. But I think the ideas that I have been steaming around in my head are ready to flow down upon the paper. This should be a good week, leading into spring break. Temperatures are going up. Practice Wednesday will have an extra hour of sunlight! Hopefully we have as good of a turn out as last week. I would love to have the Avalon guys down again, one in particular. =)

Blah, blah... Here I randomly ramble yet again while I ought to be sleeping. There is just so much on my mind as of late and I wish to share my levity with the world!
Huggles!
