Well, time to drop the sig that was untrusting of the Academy's mental abilities (Aceademy wise, I do not doubt their hearts, only the size of their brains). It seems that I was proven wrong, or that their hearts prevailed over their small brains.
*goes back to celebration*

Almost forgot this e.e. cummings gem:

Quote:
kisses are a better fate than wisdom
Agree or disagree, cummings was a charmer.

Imladris,

I recognise your old signature from Umberto Eco. Are you an appreciator? I love those books dearly. Lush, keep being wise for me.

I think that when I have weeks of summer vacation ahead of me, I would appreciate it. As it was, I was only able to read it sporatically due to school and homework, and I had only gotten to page 100 and something before I realized I'd never finish it in time to return it to the library. It 's also one of those books that you have to have to read for a few hours everyday to really "get" it all in (he painted some lovely word pictures). But what I did read of it I enjoyed greatly and I plan on tackling it again (as well as the Rose one) this summer.

Cheers!
Imladris

Sanity, leave me now! I choose the realm of dreams.
Rip.

And as I'm changing it again before anyone else has posted here, I won't double-post. Rip to the first sig in my first Siggie Serial...

Quote:
Spare a little candle, save some light for me. Figures up ahead moving in the trees, white skin in linen, perfume on my wrist, and the full moon that hangs over these dreams in the mist.

Silmaril Goodbye...
Well, I've been with this siggie for such a long time, I felt it was time to change it. I still like it though!

Quote:
Farewell, O twice beloved! A Túrin Turambar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!
Farewell, oh much beloved! You will return, one day...

Love,

Aethelwine.

From the most lyrical of chapters:

Quote:
For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.
I would have loved to see this depicted in the film.

For now, The Faerie Queene. Very enjoyable, and certainly gives one furiously to think about certain names and motifs . . .

I changed my sig again. It used to be

Quote:
I don't like raisons...all they are is humiliated grapes
Or something to that effect. It's from the movie Benni and Joon.

My current sig are two quotes (the italacized lines) combined into one. The first is a quote from Agent Smith, while the second quote is from Peter Pan. The two combined forms a rather good attitude on life, methinks.

Had the same quote in my sig for a year now, perhaps time for a change, even though it was one of my favourite quotes, said by one of my more odd friends..
"I listen to the voices inside my head, so please speak up"

Had to go though, Douglas Adams is, after all, Douglas Adams. The genius. =)
