As far as I remember, there are much more funny stuff on that site.

Fire And Ice

Song: Roxette - Bringing Me Down to My Knees
Quote: "Art is not the application of a canon of beauty but what the instinct and the brain can conceive beyond any canon. When we love a woman we don’t start measuring her limbs." Pablo Picasso
Word: staid - steady or sedate in character; sober; composed; regular; not wild, volatile, or fanciful
Continuing the Twilight theme I want to share with you this charming piece of poetry which I first met as an epigraph for Eclipse. Of course, Mayer has disgustingly oversimplified its idea.
Sometimes I repeat these words aload. Just for the sake of English sounds on my tongue when I have sung all the songs I know.

Twilight Saga

Song: Blue Foundation - Full Moon

Quote: "Edward Cullen is staring at you." Jessica Stanley, Twilight, Chapter 2, p.42

Word: bevouac - an encampment for the night, usually under little or no shelter.

 

Twilight is a very odd book, really. Today I realised that recollecting some dialogues from the book I find them extremely silly. It's okey, you may say, as they're really silly. Yes. They are. BUT! How come it never occures to me when I'm in the process of reading? Why do I almost cry when rereding all this stupid stuff about sparkling vampires and modern Cinderella?!
Sort of magic probably. I wish I knew how to do it. Anyway, Twilight is a brilliant example of escapism, isn't it?

I also adore these black-and-red covers and one day I'm going to write a separate post about Twilight OST. And my sister. And many others, tearfully happy moments which come to me when I either see this red apple or hear Carter Burwell's "Lullaby" (and about why Yiruma's "River flows in you" would have been much more suitable).

The Worst Thing

Song: Three Days Grace - Pain

Quote: "I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself." Oprah Winfrey

Word: agley - off the right line, awry, wrong

The only thing any human being is afraid of is pain. No. Not 'pain' but Pain. The only thing that matters is what gives you this Pain.
Consider it at leisure.

Number one

Well, I admit: I don't know how to start :) In fact, that's my usual writing trick because almost any sentence will do to open the word lock.

I'm 15 and this is going to be my personal blog devoted to everything that matters to me: books, music, body image, cooking, languages, education, Internet, and many, many other things. My life motto you can see right on top of the front page.

I will premise each of the following posts with:

•  a song that's worth listening - thus, you'll be able not only to learn more about my musical preferencies but, who knows? maybe, even to expand your list of favourite musicians;
•  some life-asserting maxim from my private collection (ha ha);
• and a rare word with its definition - as a native linguist I have an irresistable passion for words, I consider them as true language gems.

And yes, this is going to be the first and the last post on this blog without any pictures in it, I swear! :)

So let's get started! ^^
