* tiny but powerful *

I don't have time to write anything substantial (because my Music 143 paper is sucking the life out of me), but I wanted to post something before February ends. So here are a few highlights from my birthday party on Friday (all pictures courtesy of Brian Lee):

Gift from Melisa & Jeff:
(She handmade the sleeping Piglet and stitched it onto the blanket! Isn't it amazing??)




A very BLUE birthday cake:




Flowers from my brother:





And it's your lucky day! Here are some pictures from Viennese Ball, too:

Me and Brian:
(still in Opening wear, which means the Ball hadn't started yet)




Blue bops! (in DL wear)




Blue meeps! (in...the same shade of blue!)




I know, I cheated to make my February archives longer. :-P But a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Thank you everyone.

God has impeccable timing. RUF tonight blew me away.

Also, apparently I look like a walking zombie these days.

The Good: I booked my tickets to go visit Erin in Chicago, Mar. 17-21.

The Bad: Rain, rain...

This is it! Wish me luck walking, kneeling, and sitting. ;) For Opening, anyway -- Jennifer thinks she'll be able to perform tonight. To see me actually dance, come watch Danse Libre in the Waltz Room at 9:40!

I am NOT FUZZY, dangit.

Yes - for me, I consider that an insult.

*groan*

    Three cheers for the guy who invented
    A chord from the sixth that's augmented!
    Tritone beats push it out
    With three foreigners' clout,
    And the bass falls by step. I'm contented!
wyceresas (10:06:23 AM): :-D

The sad thing is, there are only a rare few of you who might get that, even among the disproportionate number of music nerds in my reading audience. If you understand this limerick, leave a comment and you definitely get an imaginary gold star...

News:
1) The wood didn't work. :( :( :( We were sooo close...
2) I ate a whole meal today. Slowly, but I did it.
3) I picked up my Victorian gown!

Being sick is FRUSTRATING. ARGH.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes..., so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests." - Ephesians 6:10-18

How amazing is His faithfulness...

Please pray for my family.
