Born of Black and White.
Eaten with worms.
I'm a Saint, a Sinner, a Siren of the Word.
The Circle knows me,
the rest just wanna trip on grace juice, baby!
Showdown at midnight.
You wanna trip?
My mind is swirling. Why? I finished Renegade, the third book of the Lost Books of History by Dekker earlier (I read Chaos yesterday. They didn't get here in order, which is why I didn't read them in order).
Wow.
You wanna trip?
Renegade and Chaos, like Chosen and Infidel, were everything I had hoped for and more. Black, Red, White, Showdown, Saint, even Skin and House, all entwined in this web of story birthed from the mind of Ted Dekker.
Wow.
I'm fairly giddy.
And, while I'm away in my little "la la" land, my room suffers for it.
I'm in the process of moving to the room in the basement that has been "mine" for some time now, I just never got to move down there. We're remedying that, but right now, the room I share with my sister looks as if Hurricane Katrina's twin sister landed here and tore the place up. I've got books scattered absolutely everywhere, have papers and textbooks and my wallet and a laptop strewn across my desk, a huge pile of clothes in a basket and spilling out over the floor, and for the past three nights I've slept with my feet shrouded in a blanket made up of a binder and more books.
Oh, not to mention the Barnes and Noble.com receipts.
I'm not sure I can really function in such a war zone, but at the same time, I love it. It's me. This melting pot of everything.
Now I'm giggling.
You wanna trip?
The indescribable beauty of Love...of the Great Romance.
Dekker gets me every time, without fail. I see threads of it throughout every single book of his.
And I blame Dekker for the reason I'm now a sap. Ah well.
I want to inhale Elyon's waters. I want to drown, and live.
You wanna trip?
I do. I so do.
I believe!! I believe!!
I grin like an idiot when I see Samuel or Elyon or Justin. I want to dance like Caleb, drown like Thomas, breathe like Billos. Love like Johnis and Silvie.
You wanna trip?
Hallelujah, Amen, you're dismissed.
And now, to return to this reality and tackle my Algebra homework.

Nice blog Holli.
I keep looking at those books every time I'm at Lifeway. They look beyond good :) I should ask for them for my birthday.
Ooh, I finally finished Skin last night. It was crazy because once I started it, it only took me two days to read it. It was really good (even though Red was as creepy as they come)...I never dreamed it would end like that though.
Chaos and Renegade reveal a little about the world of Skin. Nuff said.
Loved it. You have such a way of captivating me.
I need to read more of Dekker's stuff; I've only read the Circle and Thr3e.
*laughs* When she gets home, Mom might stare at me and wonder why I'm getting on my knees, begging her to take me to the bookstore. ;)
How do I link to this? Still new at the world of blogging.
You go into the Customize screen, then hit ADD PAGE ELEMENT. That will give you a choice of widgets to add. You will want to choose "Link List," I think it's titled, and add the links you wish there.
EDIT: Just saw that you already have that list. Great. Just copy the URL of my blog and add it to that.
