  • Artist Info: Salut mes copains! Bienvenue to my profile page of extreme laziness. One day (in the very, VERY distant future) I will get around to designing my own script and my profile will become interesting. Until then, however, this is it.<br />
    <br />
    I am a highly accomplished pianist of young age, planning to begin my training next year in both private music tuition and meteorology (the study of the weather, not the study of meteors).<br />
    <br />
    I am now in an epic quest to (finally) buy all of the items in my wishlist. Considering that some of them have been there for over 5 years, I really should get around to buying them. sweatdrop <br />
    Donations are welcome, but good lucks are encouraging too. heart <br />

    Feel free to drop me a PM if you're feeling friendly- just do me a favour and use correct grammar please! One of my pet peeves is people who refuse to use correct grammar on the internet. It can be hard enough to understand what people are saying at the best of times, but the lack of full stops just makes it impossible!<br />

    heart Wow. It's finally over.<br />
    After being featured for three days (22-25/7/10) I am left with a greatly reduced wishlist, a greatly inflated gold count and 1239 new profile comments. Oh, and about 160 pms to look at. xD<br />
    <br />
    After this, I no longer have any envy for the featured avatars, and if I had been better informed beforehand I wouldn't have applied at all. A warning to any-one thinking of applying to be featured; prepare to be SPAMMED.<br />
    As a reminder, here's the avatar that was spread across the homepage of Gaia for three days:<br />

    However now I don't think I ever want to look at it again. >.<<br />

    Note: I have also fallen in love with Samuel Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but due to the length it will not appear here. 3nodding <br />

    To begin with, a classic from childhood:<br />
    <br />
    Ontop of spaghetti,<br />
    All covered in cheese,<br />
    I lost my poor meatball,<br />
    When some-body sneezed.<br />
    <br />
    It rolled off the table,<br />
    And onto the floor,<br />
    And then my poor meatball,<br />
    Rolled right out the door.<br />
    <br />
    It fell down the stairs,<br />
    And under a bush,<br />
    And then my poor meatball,<br />
    Was nothing but mush.<br />
    <br />
    The mush was as tasty<br />
    As tasty could be,<br />
    And then the next summer, <br />
    It grew into a tree.<br />
    <br />
    The tree was all covered,<br />
    All covered with moss,<br />
    And on it grew meatballs,<br />
    And tomato sauce.<br />
    <br />
    So if you eat spaghetti,<br />
    All covered with cheese,<br />
    Hold on to your meatball,<br />
    Whenever you sneeze.<br />

    Between the Lines<br />
    <br />
    Don't tell me again that one day<br />
    Prince Charming will arrive.<br />
    I remember all those fairy tales-<br />
    Only too well.<br />
    Who could take seriously<br />
    Some guy who'd spend half his life<br />
    Searching for thornless roses in the snow?<br />
    Or travelling east of the sun and west of the moon?<br />
    Or trying to climb glass mountains?<br />
    His reward is to marry the fair princess<br />
    (Whose opinion is never asked)<br />
    And live happily ever after.<br />
    But what about the princess?<br />
    What's her reward?<br />
    He gets to quaff mead with his cronies,<br />
    Open Parliament,<br />
    And show everyone the picture of him<br />
    Standing on the dragon's head.<br />
    She gets to keep a drafty castle clean,<br />
    Plan the banquets,<br />
    Have the babies,<br />
    And keep from screaming every time someone says<br />
    'Is your husband the Prince Charming?<br />
    You lucky girl!'<br />
    Personally, I'd rather wait for Rumpelstiltskin.<br />
    At least, he'll expect me to think.<br />

    Two Sides of War (All Wars)<br />
    <br />
    "All wars are planned by older men<br />
    In council rooms apart,<br />
    Who call for greater armament<br />
    And map the battle chart.<br />
    <br />
    But out along the shattered field<br />
    Where golden dreams turn grey,<br />
    How very young the faces were<br />
    Where all the dead men lay.<br />
    <br />
    Portly and solemn in their pride,<br />
    The elders cast their vote<br />
    For this or that, or something else,<br />
    That sounds the martial note.<br />
    <br />
    But where their sightless eyes stare out<br />
    Beyond life's vanished toys,<br />
    I've noticed nearly all the dead<br />
    Were hardly more than boys."<br />
