“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here together in the sight of God, and in the face of the company, to join together this man and this women in Holy Matrimony, which is an honorable estate instituted of God, and therefore not to be entered into by any inadvisably or lightly but reverently, discreetly, soberly, and in the fear of God. You are performing an act of utter faith, believing in one another to the end. As the bride gives herself to the bridegroom let him be to her father and mother, sister and brother, and most sacred husband. As he gives himself to her let the bride inspire and sustain him. Let her unite with him in all the experiences of life to which their paths shall lead them, great moments and the small. Let the joys of each shall be the joys of both, and the sorrows of each, the sorrows of both. If you wish your new estate to be touched with lasting beauty, cherish those gracious visions of your first love. Let them not be blurred by the common events of life. Be not moved in your devotion. Believe in the ideal you saw at once. It still exits. It is the final truth.”

from Woman of the Year, a lovely Katherine Hepburn movie

Flyleaf

I drew this based on Flyleaf's album cover and added elvish letters because I'm a nerd and that's what I do.

Steampunk (because it's such a fun word)

These are two rings I made (if you count gluing a piece of watch [not even my original idea] and a charm [my idea] onto two ring blanks) and photographed (all by my lonesome).

"All that is gold does not glitter"

Monster

"I'll stop the whole world from turning
into a monster, and eating us alive.
Don't you ever wonder how we survived?
But now that you're gone

the world is ours."
from Monster by Paramore

Timeless

If you keep on taking a moment and dividing
it in half over and over again
will you ever reach the piece of time that is truly the present?
For is not there always a nanosecond before
and a nanosecond after? How long is the present?
If you can always keep dividing time
into smaller and smaller pieces,
does that not make the present eternal?
Does that not make a beautiful moment eternal?

(What then is this beautiful moment but God?)

Humility

"We choke when we focus on negativity
When did this turn into something we took for granted

I know I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe
I know that I may be the first to forget
But I appreciate the air I breathe"
The Air I Breathe by Our Last Night

I substituted half and half for the milk
and sprinkled them with powdered sugar before I put them in the oven.
They are delicious by themselves or with lemon curd :)

Beloved

"Make me a better love.

Because I've finally found out
you're on my side
with a bullet for the bad guys.
Hallelujah."

Better Love by Eisley

My first anime drawings ever

"It sounds like dancing doesn't it."

Katherine Hepburn as Tracy "Red" Samantha Lord
in The Philadelphia Story

Monster

"Once in the backyard
She was once like me
She was once like me
Twice when I killed them
They were once at peace
They were once like me

Hold to your gun, man
And put off all your peace
Put off all the beast
Paid a full of these, I wait for it
But someone's once like me
She was once like me"
from A Good Man is Hard To Find by Sufjan Stevens
probably based on the story by Flannery O'Connor

Keep your bloody glitter

because my soul is not mine to give



(p.s. I am no one's object)
