shesaints

Last night was good, saw all my Marvine Manor friends + Erina, Tyler and his friend Harry.
Went to bed at 4 to the noises of boys kissing and friends comforting each other.
The only thing that brought me down was thinking about a boy. Is it ever anything else?

Of course, now that I'm home again, my interest in female saints has peaked again. At school I never really have time to be interested in anything but what's due the next week, but for the next two weeks I can spend every second of every day researching saints if I want to.
Saint Catherine of Alexandria. Had to draw this once in 7th grade. Mine was so terribly bad.
Saint Veronica. Her story (well, lack of story) is really interesting for some reason:
"When Christ fell on his way to the Golgotha, a woman wiped his face with a towel; an image of Christ remained on the towel. This woman was Veronica; this incident is all we really know about her, and the relic has become her symbol ever since. "
