Big red flower,
How it blooms.
It brightens up
The evening’s gloom.
Like a bird
That spreads its wings,
The flower opens
And beauty springs.
How delightful,
Such beauty.
That God should give
To you and me.
Now you see it,
Now you don’t,
Last for ever?
No, it won’t.
I love writing stories.
God is the best writer of stories.
I love creating characters.
God loved creating you.
I love the characters I create.
God loves you.
I love imagining new worlds and places.
God created this world and all its amazing places.
I love finding how a story ends.
God knows exactly how your story will end.

Yes, I did borrow Proverbs31teenās theme. Heehee. I promise Iāll put it back when Iām done with it. ;-P
Well, if I may, I shall direct you to a certain evening in Stuttgartā¦
The point I am hoping to make with this, other thanĀ Why in Midgard is Loki speakingĀ EnglishĀ inĀ Germany?!Ā Why not just German with English subtitles!?, is the quote āIn the end, you will always kneel.ā and the old manās response, āNot to men such as you.ā Itās a brilliant piece of dialogue, if you think about it.
As David Foster Wallace noted in his āKenyon Commencement Speech,ā everyone has to worship something, be it power or kindness or wealth or in the context of religion. All we have to choose isĀ whatĀ to worship, since we have no choice but to define what is important in our lives. In the end, we willā¦

I was tagged for this, uh, tag, by Sarah over on Lights and Shadows. Basically, you match up books with chocolate, which I don’t even eat, so I’m relying on the explanations… š This is my first tag, so… I hope I’m doing this right. š
1. Dark chocolate (a book that covers a dark topic):
The Merciful Scar. It’s a beautiful book about redemption and love, and a girl – I say girl, but she’s twenty-something – trying to overcome cutting.
2. White chocolate (a favorite light-hearted/humorous read).
Oh, this one is easy. Because New Kid Catastrophes Book 1: TJ And The Time StumblersĀ by Bill MyersĀ is a book you cannot read without laughing. Seriously. I mean, everyone who reads this should go buy this book. (Should’ve said that when it was free the other day) I mean, with “goofballs Tuna and Herby from the 23rd century” and TJ Finkelstein, and Hesper Breakaheart, and “one disaster after another”… Okay, so maybe the description doesn’t quite do it justice, but let me just say that Tuna and Herby have some interesting inventions that create some very interesting situations, like Chad, the most popular guy in school, turned into a goldfish and in the Finklestein’s toilet… And I mean, with quotes like “‘Run for your lives; it’s a crazy girl riding a piano!'” how could it not be a hilarious book? TJ is such an awesome narrator as well.Ā Okay, I am officially adding this book to my list to review…
3. Milk chocolate (a book with a lot of hype that Iām dying to read).
Well, okay, let’s back up. I’m not on much social media and such, so I’m not sure what hasĀ a lot of hype and such, but I’d have to say the second book in The Lunar Chronicles, Scarlet. And I’m only saying the second book because I’ve already gotten to read the first book… Go Cinder!!!!
4. Caramel chocolate (a book that makes me feel all gooey inside).
If by gooey you mean that it makes me want to squeal because I’m so happy, then I can answer this one. If not… well, I don’t really feel gooey… But No Place Like Holmes by Jason Lethcoe just made me want to jump up and down while spinning in a circle and squealing with happiness. But you might not feel that way if you’re not familiar with the Sherlock Holmes stories and can say “I REMEMBER THAT FROM THAT STORY!!!!”. And the sequel, The Future Door, was pretty good, it’s only problem is… well, all the time-travel stuff is kind of hard to wrap your mind around…
5. Waferless Kit-Kat (a book that surprised me).
A book that… surprised me. Bad or good? One of each, hehe… Bad surprise: The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff. For some reason I was expecting this book to be epic, but it just felt really slow. Too much narrative summary. Don’t get me wrong, it had an awesome plot, just a little too much explanation. I may or may not have just read it because the series had “Britain” in the name… š Good surprise: The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. This was in the same stack as The Eagle of the Ninth. But it was like a game of Clue with characters and a twist ending and I was even keeping notes and I still totally failed but my guess was right but only because of my super crazy logic…. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it, and you can read my review here.
6. Snickers Reeseās Peanut Butter Cups (a book Iām going nuts about).
Ew, nuts… š Hang on, let me go ask someone… Okay, so apparently I’ve been talking about Thor and The Princess Bride and my other awesome favorite movies too much to have bored anyone to death by talking about a favorite book… *goes to check kindle* Wait… wait… skip the Kindle, I want my paperbacks! Ugh, this is hard!!!! Okay, I have to say either The Discovery by Dan Walsh. And, in case you couldn’t tell, my White Chocolate book, too.
7. Hot chocolate with mini marshmallows (a book you turn to for a comfort read).
Ugh, this one’s hard, since I don’t reread books very often. I have so many new books that it just doesn’t happen! But I guess Invisible, the first Ivy Malone mystery from Lorena McCourtney. Mostly because it was really funny, ironic, and most of the other books I’d use here I’ve already mentioned. š You can read my review here.
8. Box of chocolates (a series I feel has something for everyone).
Dare I be classic? The Chronicles of Narnia! And in case that’s just too easy, the Antarctica books by Peter Lernagis. Seriously, there’s only two books, so I’m not sure if that counts as a series, but it was awesome! š
So, that was fun! I’m going to tag Icedmocha34, erinkenobi2893, and awkwardlyartistic.Ā What do you think of my choices? Have you read any of these, and do you agree?Ā Comment below!
Aaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!! š If you don’t guess who it’s about, check the comments. ā¤
No, not the flippinā movie.
Because while ice can be beautiful, it is generally a symbol of death, or evil. After all, someone with a frozen heart=a villain. (Which is where Frozen gets crazy confused.)
Frozen
Standing frozen in the doorway
Each breath seems to take more strength than I have
Keep on breathing
Donāt think. Try to move
Breathless as it strikes again and again
Ruthless
And Iām powerless
Rearing up with outstretched claws from the dark
And takes me
Back into the darkness
Itās cold.
Iām frozen.
Demons bleed out from the edges of the sky
Blood red
Like blood on snow
Thin threads of red through ice
And seize whatever they can reach.
I want to scream
My voice is gone
And I still canāt cry.
Silence now.
Nothing but the crack of stone
And splintering of ice.
I wait for dawn
But it wonāt save me.
