Peridot Novel Cover

Five hundred years ago, humanity went through a dark age. Art, music and creation came to almost a standstill and the world was plunged into cultural darkness. In response, the Etherium High Council, the governing body of Muse, passed a series of laws known as the Grey Laws. These laws banished creativity from the Etherium, leaving it an bland, colorless place. Without its original vibrancy, the Muses went back to inspiring the outer worlds, and for a time, there was peace.

But five hundred years is a long time to go without life, and an underground movement is stirring. The Grey Laws are inverting on themselves. The blandness is making Muses increasingly apathetic. Once again the outer worlds are in crisis. With less and less inspiration, talents are going unrealized and people are settling for "sensible" pursuits like chemistry and accounting. With the High Council too set in their ways to repeal the Grey Laws, the outlook is bleak.

One man seeks to change that. Tyrr de Melete lost everything five hundred years ago. Now he wants to right the wrongs the Grey Laws have caused. With the aid of the rising daughters of Aoide and Mneme, he rallies a band of rebels to turn the Etherium upside down and take back the creativity the High Council banished.

I believe in potluck Christmases with more family than I can count, talking and laughing together;
the serenity of an old magnolia by the river;
the magic of cardboard boxes built into playhouses and rocket ships and ancient Egyptian tombs;
the sense of camaraderie a blanket fort brings, especially when big brother thinks it's dopey and childish but hangs around anyway in hopes of being invited to join in the fun;
the joy of shopping with friends and trying to best each other with thrift-store finds; seven hour car trips just to hear a few friends sing; attending conventions in costume just to see people smile and lending my letter jacket to my little sister so she can be cool, too.

But I'm not above blackmailing a friend into signing out of his stupid MMO to talk to me for a few minutes.

I believe in romance, even if I can't express it in words.
I believe in the dreams of every kitten that wants to one day be a lion, or a tiger, or a panther.
I believe in long Sunday drives; gifts that are "just because"; leaving Homecoming early to build a death violin; cracking open a nice, cold can of Coke on a hot summer day.

And I believe in following distant music back to its source, sitting down to lunch with the musicians and joining in on the joy of making music together.

Birthday

Tue Feb 2, 2010, 5:36 PM
My birthday's Friday!! It's all very exciting. I'm going to be eighteen, and for the first time since seventh grade, I actually have some sort of hope for a birthday present better than a pink velour track jacket. My Zombie Squad membership! :D
Plus, I get to eat at Mimi's Cafe, which is absolutely delicious and guaranteed to bother my mother. What could be better? (Well, except for Thai, but I do want Mom to eat.)

In other news: Last night, I baked cookies. I messed around with my brown to white sugar ratios and added cinnamon to come up with some of the best snickerdoodles I've ever eaten. It was quite exciting, since this was my first try making snickerdoodles.

  • Mood: Eager
  • Listening to: Trashin' The Camp
  • Reading: Smoke in Mirrors
  • Watching: Doctor Who
  • Eating: Snickerdoodles

Why yes, I do have curly hair. I find that I have too much personality for straight hair. After all, what can you do with flat, lifeless locks? Nothing. Curls, however, have limitless possibility. I believe in the limitless.
