people-watching

"I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more...though I know that IS the nobler ambition....but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me...to have some little or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born." -Anne's House of Dreams

Everyone has their own personality; their own way they look at and behave in life. That quote above ^ perfectly sums me up. I have been called quaint, and I suppose I am, for it isn't every person who does some of the things I do. Why do I do those quaint things? Because it is as much as part of me as a your logic is a part of you.

We all know that God has made each of us unique and beautiful. And it is never shown in any prettier, more poignant way than in personality. I love people. So so much. People-watching is my favorite sport. ;)

As a writer, I suppose my characters are built off of observing people. I thrive on watching society whirl by and catching little sparkling, funny, odd bits that I then weave into the fabric of my mind, to be brought out as one of the random, quaint little things I have become known for.

I am so glad God made people. I am so so glad.

Watch people. Love people. Observe them and remember them. It's a jolly little world out there.

Just 6 Words?

Here we are today. We now belong to the privileged legion of people who have bedsteads! Last nigh was our first night in our new beds! Yay!!!! We will do a post about that very soon, since we've taken lots of pictures. You'll have to bear with us though, because our camera doesn't even have a zoom, so we had to jerry-rig all the shots, and try to stand just close enough and bend your body at such an angle that you get the right shot. Anyway, Sarah and I are going to proceed describing each member of our family in 6 words. If you want us to, we'll do that to anyone who leaves a comment! Okay, I start:


Dad: worker, leader, steady, practical, outdoors, soft-hearted

Mom: good-sense-of-humor, kind-hearted, playful, teacher, creative, musical

Daniel: diplomatic, funny, gentlemanly, noble, loyal, debonair

Rachel: creative, sweet, humorous, sometimes-slightly-random, old-fashioned, romantic (not the lovering kind....most of the time:)

Sarah: roguish, impudent-in-a-funny-way, technical, fun-loving, spur-of-the-moment-ish, thoughtful

Leah: content, peaceful, compassionate, loyal, easy-going, homebody

Anna: impulsive, opinionated, bright, witty, soft-center, frank
