Happiness is a warm sharp pointy object.

I now nominally own a khopesh, gotten in an eBay auction that someone on the KOL board mentioned. (Nominally; haven't gotten confirm from the seller yet, but I've gotten confirm on winning the auction.)

Like to be not a tremendously high-quality khopesh, from the price on it and all, but from the images rather handsome despite that. If I need to damage someone I'll just have to use the KA-BAR or my poniard or something else.


I think I know the structure of this book now, which is happy. It's similar enough to the structuring of the first to pass whatever worries I might have about it differing too much in rhythm, and different enough to be distinctly itself. And it seems the first-person passages are alternating with third in a rotation of in the family, in the riverside, and in the rest of the city. Which is at least like to be consistent, and gives me a place to aim for the next appearance of Boiling Over Boy.

So now to write 8, which would be internal to the family.


The opening bassline of this song is exactly and satisfyingly correct. teinedreugan has asked me what it's right for, and I couldn't answer him; I haven't gotten that far. But it's exactly right for something. One of the places that makes the Songdragon sit right up and hum.

A khopesh? Cool! Can you give us a link to the auction, so we can see it? (I'll want to see it in person, too, but I'm curious now.)

And somehow I guessed that might be the icon on this comment. ;)

Ooh, a khopesh! *grins* I have to admit, I have quite a fondness for blades. Even my friend's machete looks pretty cool to me.

And I agree about the opening bassline to "My Last Breath." (I love that song) Out of curiosity, did you ever take any music classes with Mr. Frezzo when you were at RM?

I've been collecting sharp pointies since . . . Don't remember if before, but definitely since I went to Spain spring break sophomore year with the Foreign Language department. We went to Toledo. *big grin*

(Well, and not-so-sharp pointies.)

S'a great song. So right, so correct.

And I did chorus junior year and first semester senior year. Tried to sit in on some of the classes (I had a schedule conflict with Mrs. Fishman, and art was my sixth subject) but couldn't really keep up with the work.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Mr. Frezzo knows!

High school travel was awesome! During spring break of sophomore year, I went to Greece with my IB English class; the year before was England with the choral department, and the year after Greece was Costa Rica with the foreign language department for two weeks in the summer. Costa Rica was where my friend got her machete. *grins*

Hahahaha! So true. ;) I hope I have better study habits in college, because I'm a horrible procrastinator. I pulled two full all-nighters in a row to write a 1600-word Musical Investigation (comparison of traditional Japanese music to Hawaiian folk music: whoohoo), compose three pieces and record them, and tape 20 minutes worth of performance time (a Bach prelude and Beethoven's entire Sonata Pathetique) to send to the IBO. Plus a Chemistry project and all my other homework.

Worst 48 hours ever. What the hell was I thinking? >_< Procrastination kills...
