New Home

So...how do you all like the new format?  Should I keep it, or put it back to the green, or to the original pink or something alltogether new?

Wardrobe Doors to Better Worlds...

...aka some links which I wanted to share with all of you :)

First, an amazing blog post on Scriptorium Daily which literally hit me over the head like a ton of bricks.  Humility is something I daily struggle with, particularly in group discussions...therefore T. S. Eliot's quote about the wisdom of humility is the cover for my Faith of our Father's notebook :P  But this blog post is amazing and anyone who has ever been or ever will be in any sort of argument or discussion or debate should read this...and then lets talk!

Next and far less worthy though somewhat personally important...my first blog post on the Wheatstone blog! Yes, I'm very excited...once again, read and then let's discuss.  :)

Finally, a wonderfully cute and fun online movie I recently discovered...I actually haven't seen the entire thing yet, as it's fairly long (45 minutes), but I've listened to the soundtrack and its such a cute musical :)

Hundredth Post!!!

Hurrah!!  After a little less than a year, I have reached one hundred blog posts :)  This is truly a time to rejoice...I think :P  Thank you to all my faithful readers and commenters who are still with me after this much time, and this many words.  Here's to another hundred posts that will hopefully reflect a wiser, deeper me than the last hundred!

50th post!!!! (...and other things)

Hurrah for the 50th post!!!!!  Thank you to all my wonderful followers who have been with me since August :)  This is a happy day.

-Fun stuff...today I hung out at the Spectrum with a few good Torrey friends...Grace Ciccarello, Amy Van Vlear, Tim Chan, and Cree McCook.  Amazing times...isn't torrey fun when you can hang out with great friends...and yet you haven't seen them above 3 or so times?

-Christmas is almost over...today is the 5th day of Christmas for those of you who weren't counting.

-A new bedspread can make your whole room look different.  Everything suddenly looks brighter because of my new quilt!

-It's been getting warmer and warmer...almost warm enough for new rainbows!!!

Hurrah for randomness, yes?

A Thought

Last night, I had an interesting conversation with my mother regarding my blog address, inquisitive inkblot. A bit of background information first...we were talking about various people from bubbs whom I had recently met.  I mentioned that since developing relationships with people online I had begun to pay much more attention to the look of words, almost as much as the sound.  In addition I had started associating people with their fonts/colours, so it was interesting to meet them and see whether or not they matched up with their fonts.  

In the course of this discussion I happened to mention that it was especially fun online to type out the abbreviations for the class names, FAT and FOOF.   And then of course inkie or inkblot, which isn't as fun though.  In mentioning inkblot, my blog title came up.  My mom pointed out the fact that I was no longer an inklings student, and therefore perhaps the name was not quite as appropriate anymore.  I considered this for a moment, but then realized...the only other alternative in that case, would be to rename my blog "inquisitive FAT student"  Because I'm used to seeing FAT written out, I never really thought about how it actually sounded until I said it...wow.  We were both laughing about that one for quite a while. 

So how bout it?  Anyone thing I should rename my blog? ;)

Round Table of Truth

Hello all wonderful friends!

Thank you for your wonderful and encouraging comments on the last few posts.  I am very proud of you all for rising to the occasion :)  

As some of you may know, I lead a discussion group once a month on Thursday nights, which sadly has been somewhat sporadic as of late.  However, we recently began discussing G. K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday, which I think shall prove to be a wise switch.  After a suggestion from a friend and some careful consideration on my own, I decided to head up another blog to go along with this discussion group.  The address is The Round Table of Truth so please, head on over there and check it out.  If you can't make it to the discussion group but would still enjoy something of this sort, please let me know and I'll add you as an author to the blog so that we can all benefit from your brilliant ideas.  The more the merrier, especially in blogging, right?  

I'll be trying to post something before and after every discussion, and please feel free to add any of your thoughts on either discussions or the book in general.

Under the mercy,

Elizabeth

To Comment or Not to Comment?

Is this seriously the question you all ask when  you read a blog post?  Do you sit there and deliberate...well on the one hand if I comment it will make this person very happy, but on the other hand I have nothing to comment about, but on the other hand I don't really have to have much to say, but on the other hand...etc.   

Well then, cease your deliberation and comment please!  For those of you uninitiated few who are just now beginning to learn the delights of blogging, let it be known that we bloggers thrive on comments...the more you comment, the more you shall write.  

And so I have decided to take a leaf out of Joycelyn's www.hebegebes.blogspot.com and Jane's www.janeandellen.blogspot.com books and go on temporary strike!

But when I return to this blog is all up to you my dear readers.  When I have recieved five comments on this or other posts, then I will begin to write again.  And it's make me even happier if you'd comment to tell me what you'd like me to post in my blog.  So comment away!

Under the mercy,

Elizabeth
