Pogo - Palestrina was indeed the inspiration for Hallestrina's name. I like the way it sounds. :D
And thanks for the art-love, and the defense of my art work. You are a treasure. <3
Spooky's Darling - We thought of including Boromir, but in the end we only knew of one actual person who favored Boromir over all the other characters, and his personality matched all the people who like Faramir best. (Which obviously makes ppl who like Boromir totally-super-awesome [can you tell Faramir is my fav ever?]).
neverfit - You are correct. Eowyn kicks Arwen's @SS!! Especially since Arwen isn't even in the books hardly at all.
Anonymous from the art post - Which art piece offended thee? The twins I did at age 17 without ever having any training whatsoever in art? Or should the tree made of wire perhaps have been made to scale? "Art" is what you make it, not what others tell you it is. And for the record, beginning anything with "no offense" when you know full well you are going to sound offensive just makes you sound uneducated.
Sam, from the last post - Blogger won't let me look at your profile. :( Do you have a blog?

Someone
suggested I do a "day in the life of Mich" post. (In the suggestion box, which is now gone because I was having technical issues and it pissed me off so I deleted it.) My weekdays are
pretty much all the same, so I wouldn't bother doing a weekday in the life of
Mich (unless y'all really really want to be bored to death?). I thought of vlogging a Saturday, but I feel like I suck at vlogging.
Plus I have ADD.
Weekends
are tough for me because I'm pretty sure I do actually have ADD (Mum
disagrees--she thinks adHd). At least on workdays, there are specific things I
need to do and the rest of the day beyond time spent at work is mostly devoted
to the gym and alternately watching TV and trying to sleep. That doesn't leave
much time for boredom.
I can't
handle boredom. That's kind of why I've never been a huge tv-watcher, other
than a couple shows that come on at night. I can't watch tv in the middle of
the day. Just can't do it. Days I'm not working, I generally bounce from one
thing to the next without much of a predetermined plan. This can be a problem
if I'm hanging out at a friend's house and my companions are sitting watching
tv. I last maybe 10 minutes. 20 maximum.
I might
admire your family photos. After I've explored your living room I'll go to the
loo.
Don't get
me wrong--I don't root through drawers and cabinets or anything; that would
make me uncomfortable. :/ But I do love checking out other people's houses. I'm
fascinated by them, because no two are alike and none of them are like mine.
Idk how to explain it without seeming like a nosy creeper....... oh well.
So on my
way back from the bathroom I'll take my time having a shifty at the rooms en route back to the tv. If I run into another member of the household, chances are I shan't return to the tv at all. Your mom and I will be bffs by the time the movie or tv show is over.
This
behaviour is the reason I was often the favourite of other people's parents
when I was in high school. ...That also may have had something to do with the fact
that Mum never raised me to call people Mrs. or Mr. Whatever. I called all the
adults in my life by their first names while most of the other kids stuck with
Mr. and Mrs.
Some parents got really bent out of shape about that. I remember a
girl scout's meeting or something like that and I had to ask the troop leader
a question. When I called her "Diane" (I was 7) she practically tore
my head off.

What was
I talking about?

Oh
yeah--Day in the Life of Mich.

This is
why bird watching is a great hobby. If you have a bird feeder that you keep
full and a birdbath next to it, it's like an ADD wet dream. The fun that comes
from my attention span jumping from one activity to another without ever
finishing anything...
can be
had in one simple activity.
Oooo
look, a frigginbird!
turn the volume way up, it's super budget
