I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies In summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, from The Fellowship of the Ring

I Have A New Name

Alright, well, for all of you who've been bugging me to blog, HERE IT IS!
As I'm sure you've read in the title, I now have a new name! Okay, so not exactly. You see, my first name is Brittany, but I find it utterly repulsive. (yeah, I know that's kind of strong, and I don't really feel that strongly about it, but in case you didn't get the hint, I don't like it!) I usually like very, um, different names. For example, I absolutely love the names Haddasah, Brooke, and Summer. You usually don't hear those names very much, but I love them. So for the past, like, 5 years, I've been trying to get my parents to let me change my name, but my dad wouldn't let me. His general reply was, "God put that name in my heart for you, and I don't see any reason why we should change God's mind." And not that I'm trying to change anybody's mind, but the name 'Brittany' is so... blah!
So we've come up with a new twist on the name. I'm going to go by 'Brittan'. You see? I didn't change anybody's mind, and it's the same name, minus the Y... and I love the name!
When I ws little, I wanted everyone to call me 'Sis'. Dunno why, but I did. And then as I got a bit older, I started using the name Brittany, but since I really didn't like it, I just went by Brit. I still didn't like it, but it was better than just Brittany. So once I heard this one, I was hooked!
If you know me any at all, you'd know that I'm fascinated by western-Europe (France, Europe, Wales, Ireland, etc.) So in that way, the name is a good representation of me, and I think it sounds pretty cool. So, anyway, the next time you see me, you can call me Brittan!
Oh, and it's pronounced like Britton.
I've also put in here a couple of songs that I just really like. They have nothing to do with my post, but I love the songs, so if you want to hear them, you can!
