Happy Easter! & My Favorite Things

I just got back from church, and I went straight to church from Lynda's house, and I went straight to Lynda's house from getting out of bed this morning. So yeah, that's why this post is a lot later than usual today. 

IT'S SATURDAY!!!

La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! La la la la, la la la la, Virgil's world! Virgil loves to acolyte, but not really! That's Virgil's worrrrrllllddd!!!!!!!

So at church today, we were holding our Easter Vigil ("vigil," from the Latin word vigilo, to stay awake, is a really long service in which no one stays awake) and guess whose name appeared on the roster for tonight's service. Hmph. I had to carry a really heavy cross and I thought I was going to drop it and then everyone would be mad at me >.<

So today I'm going to talk about my FAVOURITE THINGS! It's fantastic timing, because I've been in an incredibly good mood this weekend. These are in no particular order...


Virgil's Most Favourite Things

writing, 
especially during November,
rereading Harry Potter books
and coming across those parts that make me smile every time or make me cry every time,
the sound of thunder and pouring rain when I'm snuggled up in bed,
listening to traditional Christmas music in August,
reading Looking for Alaska in one night
and feeling absolutely refreshed in the morning, after a whole night of crying over 
the beauty of John Green's words,
listening to "Harry's Wondrous World" on repeat and never getting sick of it
listening to "Theme from Jurassic Park" on repeat and never getting sick of it
okay, let's just go with all John Williams music in general,
and when I'm at church and the gospel of the day just somehow seems to relate to my life at that moment,
and singing "I Vow to Thee My Country" (which is to the tune of Jupiter),
and that moment of inspiration when I come up with a new plot twist,
and that awesome feeling that you get when you've been wanting to do something for a really long time, but you've been too scared to do it, and then finally you work up the courage to do it and it's just the best kind of feeling in the entire world,
and that moment of realization I get sometimes when I look around and see friends who are real,
(not that my imaginary friends aren't amazing too),
and chocolate cake,
and the smell of vanilla and lavender and cigarette smoke,
and the moment when you're at the top of the Dragster and anything is possible,
and the taste of sticky toffee pudding that you can only get at the Cramond Inn,
and dancing to the AVPM soundtrack when no one is around,
and when I read a really good sentence like "What's the speed of dark?"
and the fudge from the Fudge Kitchen on the Royal Mile,
and Scottish shortbread,
and the rare moment when I read something I've written and actually feel proud,
and the smell of old books,
and playing the flute,
and people-watching in the airport,
and getting prizes at Latin Convention,
and the colour blue,
and the sound of the ocean,
and clouds that are shaped like dragons,
and looking at the stars,
and crossing things off of my list of things-to-do with my brand-new sparkly crayons,
and shiny things
and making lists of my favourite things. 
There are a lot more, but that's all I can think of for now. :) Also the 6LCF, of course, I love you guys so much.

Speaking of which, I believe our anniversary is this Friday, which means (if I am correct) that this is my very last Saturday post ever!!!! I will henceforth be posting on Tuesdays, and I sincerely hope that I will be able to live up to xiy's greatness. 

Best wishes!
Virgil

mah fayvrit

So starting today and ending next Monday, I believe that we will be doing a theme week on our favourite thing(s). Thus, I will begin.

Today, I will be showing to you all my recent crappy art, because a) I am lazy and b) this is theme week, and I like drawing.

Ahem. (<-This is supposed a segue. [I fail.]) 


"Cheer up, kid!" (APVS=♥)

This is what I do when I don't feel like drawing my self-portrait for the umpteenth time in art class.

Part of a doodle done in math class right before spring break.

This is how I imagine the Death Eaters from "99 Death Eaters" by Draco and the Malfoys.

Adventures in Greek class. (Which reminds me--I should probably go study. >.<)


 --

Also. Fencing was fun today. Instead of running 3/4 of a mile around the school, we did this "Indian run" thing around the courtyard, which was fun and not particularly tiring at all. And then we line-fenced and then played a game of King of the Hill, in which, predictably, the scariest SFEYO won.

House and I are officially done with 9HD! (Unless, of course, we get sent to the next level, in which then we have to do actual work again. >.>) :D OH, and speaking of 9HD, I found this hilarious .gif of Robespierre. It's on deviantart, so I don't think I'm allowed to actually repost it here, but this is the link, if you care to take a look. It's hilarious; trust me.


Aaaaand that's about it, I think. Have a nice Tuesday!


(ALSO ALSO FOR THE 6LCF: The tags for this week will be 'theme week' and 'favourite things,' mkay?)
