The Room in the Annex

While in the semi-darkness here I sit, With tired gifted children, I do wait To start upon my journey in a bit Across the campus, fast, lest I be late. One boy has twitchy foot and plays with cards Most brains aren't working fast, but not yet slow. They sit around and tinker like some bards Preparing for that evening's tuneful show. The silence of the room is somewhat dull As no one seems to have desire to speak. I know the sound well; it is not a lull, The kids are ever quiet, rare a squeak. I dare not hum lest I be called an ass, Must wait to sing till I'm on my way to class.

Ruby's Woes

"To be any good, a writer must write at least a thousand words a day, every day," Ruby intoned randomly, working her way through the frustratingly crowded halls of Winchester College. She felt particularly Tolkien-ish that day, so she began reciting the general history of Numenor to herself under her breath as she fought her way through the throngs. "The Valar created the island of Numenor as a reward for Men for their help and fighting and all in... what war? I don't remember. Wait. Not a war. The men who stayed faithful through the First Age (which was Morgoth's time) got Numenor. Right. "So then Elros, who was counted among Men, led the

The Gift of Men

Tegiliel sat morosely on a rock in her favorite forest clearing. It had been a year since the news of the death of Linnor's father had reached Ithilien, and her best friend wanted to be left alone. Legolas, the only Elf living in Ithilien, was sitting on a wizened tree stump. Though her heart was grieved, she could not help being fascinated by his appearance. He was beautiful. It felt odd to say that of a male, but there was no other word that came close to describing him. Though she had talked to Legolas many times before, she was still awestruck whenever she saw him. "He had to die," she said, only half to herself. "All men must die," Leg

Ruby's Woes II: Meeting Harry

Winchester College, London Ruby sat and munched on an apple, mustering a thoughtful look onto her face. "What," she asked Mark, who was sitting nearby, "Is the meaning of life?" "Forty-two," he replied absently, not looking up from his book. "I was rather hoping you'd say that," she said, and went back to her apple, a familiar feeling creeping up on her. She didn't like this feeling at all. It was boredom. Rage spread thin, as her handy-dandy writing book said. Rage, rage, rage, and not enough to go around, thought Ruby. But why am I enraged? Well, first off, I can't think of anything interesting to talk about. Second, Will's not here, and

RW III: Dudley's Gang

When she got back home, Ruby sat down and wrote out her thoughts, and then reluctantly set about doing her chores. After this was done, she fixed herself a Caesar salad and sat out on the back porch, wondering what to do with herself. She munched for awhile, waiting for a sudden epiphany. Epiphanies happened to her at the most helpful times, especially when she had a project to do for school and had to think of a topic that wouldn't create mindless drudgework. Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she said, "Why, thank you, mind." Her idea was this: she could go back to Privet Drive and see Harry again. And if she missed him, maybe she could s

RW IV: Revelations

Harry was standing on Privet Drive, watering the begonias. Ruby went to warn him that he shouldn't, as he was in violation of the hosepipe ban, but before she could reach him, a great column of black smoke exploded out of the pavement between them. Out of this stepped ...Harry Potter. The world sank suddenly into night. Harry Potter turned to look at Harry, who was still blithely watering the bushes as though nothing had happened. Ruby felt that something awful would happen if Potter spoke to Harry. Sick with unexplained terror, she knew she would rather run away than watch, but her legs wouldn't move. Harry suddenly looked up, straight into

Weigh-hey for A Respite

A journal left untouched since July will never do. Entertainment O dear sweet fig, where to begin? I have fallen helplessly in love with opera after seeing the extremely rare and awesome Rossini Le Comte Ory, and then the UW's doing of Haydn's Il Mondo della Luna, and just this past weekend, The Pearl Fishers at Seattle Opera. Oh boy oh boy, if you ever get the chance to go to Seattle Opera, GO. The music is pristine, the costumes gorgeous, the staging engrossing and breathtaking. I still can't stop talking about it, the music goes on being stuck in my head. Tazzel and I went to see the Decemberists in November. That was a trip, man. "You

Summer Exploits, Illegal and Otherwise

It's only been a month and ten days. Does that count as being good? I rather think it does. Anyway, I shan't be too tl;dr this time round. Of course, I shouldn't say that at the beginning, should I? Right, then! Amand-O-Vision! (I'm waiting for this phrase to be adapted into common usage... right.) One Single Piece of School Business that Actually Makes Izzy Happy They've picked me to be a counselor at Small Bright Children Camp this year! So I'm super-excited to do the guiding (and, y'know, hazing... .> What? You know it happens! It happened to us!). I mean, I still remember my counselors. I hope I help make it brilliant this year. I do so

Izzy Lays the Smackdown

I really need to stop going so long between entries. Do you know how much has happened in the twelve weeks- twelve entire weeks since I've written last? No, you don't. Not yet. But I will attempt to tell you without killing your eyes the story of my most lovely spring quarter, in patented Amand-A-Vision (tm). The Play So it was pretty much awesome. I had great fun making Benedick pretty with the judicious application of black and white eyeliner, and I had a rockin' dress (see my ID picture). I really got into the slut!Margaret groove that last week. For all the craziness, it was such fun I can't wait to do it again. In one scene on Saturday
