Do I?

Do I want to write a masterpiece 30 minutes before I have to leave the house for an appointment?

Do I want to write a masterpiece fresh from viewing a film that rocked my world?  To distill the emotions brewing inside my chest, anticipation activating all nerves to my very fingertips?

Do I want to write a masterpiece even if I’m the only one who thinks that’s what it is?

Do I want to write a masterpiece to cry out to a fallen world that hastens to its absolute corruption?

Do I want to write a masterpiece for myself (until the concept of my own person as an audience becomes as natural as breathing air)?

Do I want?  To write?  A masterpiece?

Yes, yes, and yes.

My tribute to Audrey Hepburn

Rose is now a laptop fit for a princess, what with Audrey Hepburn in her lovely Roman Holiday regalia greeting me everytime I boot up.  (Thanks to ReelClassics for their wonderful selection of desktop wallpapers.  😀  I tweaked one and came up with this perfect little number.)

I am so enamored of Audrey Hepburn.  And it’s not just her graceful, elfin beauty, her iconic fashion sense, and her ability to make you fall in love with each and every one of her characters, but the way she lived her life that really fascinates me so much.

I delved into her Wiki-biography like a detail obsessed fangirl.  My favorite bits and links after the jump:

Being your own gift to the world

Just now I finished a Biography Channel feature on Celine Dion, and I am at a loss for words.  All at once, I feel touched, astounded, awestruck, weirded-out, skeptical, inspired, grateful… the net effect being a pretty wonderful state of mind and heart.

She seems so honest, loving, and hardworking that at times she really pushes the envelope, and I begin to wonder if she’s real.  Then the documentary shows her at different times in her life, in different video clips consistently exhibiting and saying all the same things that make her who she is, and apparently this beautiful person is the genuine article.
