Spurpled.

Spurple- n. To go in all directions at once.

I watched Anne of Avonlea today. Or rather, I finished it. I had started it the other day while I was folding.
I'm sorry. I know a lot of people don't like that movie for various reasons (one of which is her humongous, perpetual donut of hair), but that movie will never fail to make me feel very weepie and nostalgic.

The night is a lot less scary if you have no light at all. The instant you see light, the dark becomes your enemy. One of my favorite things to do is to turn off all the house lights and go up onto the balcony of our shop and look out over the surrounding land. Thinking comes easy up there.

Do you ever have trouble grasping the point of your existence? I always know academically that my reason for being here on this earth is to glorify God, but sometimes it is very hard for me to actualize that truth.
Like tonight.
Is my life going anywhere? What will be its climax? Why do I feel l like my life will be the same forever and ever...and ever...and ever.
An aimless monotony is the bleakest of outlooks.

Our kitty cat got in the van overnight last night and did his business. I sent him to the corner. Naughty, Virgil!

I need a haircut. Last one I had, I got Kelsey to cut this really cool little v thing at the back of my hairline. Most people didn't like it, but I did. Especially after my hair got a little longer and shaggier. I had seen it done on a model on the runway (not that that has anything to do with real life) and on Amelie, and it was very modish and (dare I say) edgy. However, now my hair is too long and shaggy, and the v is beginning to look like a really fat version of a rattail. Or a mullet. Which is not cool. Unless you're Bob Bence.
I'm thinking I might tie it into two very small pigtails with cute tiny little ribbons. I could start a new trend.

I've been invited, almost invited, and semi-invited to go to the beach at least five times in the last two years, and not once have I gone. Ever. In my entire life. So I've decided that I am going to go to the beach for my senior trip. If I have a senior trip. Which is looking unlikely.
But anyway, if I do get to have one, I'll go to the beach with Kathryn as "chaperon" and whoever else wants to go. Senior friends, y'all are all invited! It can be very inexpensive and tons of fun...I hope. We'll see.

Audrey Tautou is one of my favorite actresses. Very, very French.
