Silver Droplets Fall Fall All Around Me

On The Cinnamon Note, this is how I want to start off: summer breezing into autumn, the colors cooling down from fresh greens and ocean blues to homey auburns and dry wheats, with the beginning of a new school year ahead and thousands of miles left to tour. I may not have a silver tongue (or silver fingers!) yet, and so none of my words may sound as lyrical as I would've liked, but that is another thing about these firsts. It just keeps getting better from there. Now here is a late introduction from yours truly: I am named Kristie, a Gemini (I wish I had a twin), a gold dragon, an aspiring writer, a lover of beautiful or simply cute things, an artist, a newbie at programming, an aspiring pharmacist (hitherto), a book worm, a student of the French language ("Bonjour!") a poodle fan (but hey, schnauzers are adorable, too), a devotee of Japanese cartoons (also known as anime), and a dreamer. And even I admit that I am holed up in my head too much recently.

If none of you have read the Ainu poem, The Song The Owl God Himself Sang, then I will death-glare you via Internet cables until you click on the link that I added to this post below. The poem, you can think about it, is like one of those childhood myths or folklore that you sometimes remember vaguely yet poignantly. One (or just me) cannot help feeling visceral (definition: relating to instinctual emotions rather than the intellect) fondness for the owl god, a sympathetic and kind-hearted deity, who generously gifts a poor family with abundant wealth; the magnanimous (definition: noble or generous to those lesser than oneself) act induced harmony in the Ainu village. I will always remember the two lines the owl god says to himself: "Silver droplets fall fall all around me/ Golden droplets fall fall all around me." In these sorts of tales, it is by chance that the great beings encounter who they encounter and drive the story to their respected conclusions. And they are all gems!

To end this short note, I want to describe a little bit of what I am hoping to put into this blog. I created this blog with the intention of cultivating my passions, like fictional writing, along with recording whatever my intelligent little brain bubbles with. Haha, I used the word "with" three times there! Anyways, since I am currently in my junior year of high school and college is that alien ship transmitting messages to my house demanding permission to land, I thought that a blog would be fun.

Until next time!
