Hee.

We read part of the Qur'an today in Journeys. Some of us tried out the Arabic, and the visiting professor (of Muslim studies) said I was the closest in pronunciation. w00t. And I have a new CD of Arabic prayers, for free, since it came with the book. V. pretty.

I have a Calculus quiz in a few minutes (reason enough for the icon), and a Bio exam after that. Blargh.

I'm taking a nap this afternoon, I think. Perhaps going to Target or Walmart.

And on a side-note, anyone want an icon? I feel like making them. Give me an idea, and I'll do my best.

PS: Yrael got to preform a Charter Baptism at Milliways last night, and pretend parentage of a kitten to get rid of smooth-talking annoyance who was bothering a friend. Still laughing over that one.

Woo! Impressive. Arabic is hard for English-speakers to pronounce properly. (Speaking as one who's taken it for several years, and took a long time to learn to say some of the letters correctly.)

Icon. Hmm. I tell you what I've been wanting: A Milliways icon (I'm not sure of the background, except that I don't really like the multicolored margarita glasses picture used for some of them) that says "my fandom contains multitudes." (Because we love random poetry references, yes we do.)

*searches web for suitable backgrounds* As in multitudes of people? Or just multitudes in general?

[genarti]

Just multitudes in general, although I'm intending to imply that it has both multitudes of people and multitudes of fandoms. Maybe a starry sky background or something? *shrug* It's a quote from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself:

The past and present wilt--I have fill'd them, emptied them,
And proceed to fill my next fold of the future.

Listener up there! what have you to confide to me?
Look in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,
(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute
longer.)

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

I concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.

Who has done his day's work? who will soonest be through with his

supper?
Who wishes to walk with me?

Will you speak before I am gone? will you prove already too late?

Okay then. Three backgrounds (snowflakes, underwater streams of bubbles, and something that I have no idea what it is) and numerous fonts. Take whatever you like.







And one just because it's you.
