The Pale Parabola Of Joy

Hello Reader! My name is Georgia.

I started this blog per the request of my older sister. What can I say, people who we look up to can really get us to do things. I write newsletters monthly plus the occasional book or movie review or analysis. I have a fondness for the past but an anticipation of the future, I hope to incorporate both of these in my writing.

About Me: I love good books, tea, (some) dogs, baking, nature, and Jesus. I currently live in California but in the fall of 2026 I will (Lord willing) be attending college in Tennessee to study Classical Liberal Arts. My current favorite authors are Jane Austen, P.G Wodehouse, Dorothy L. Sayers, J.R.R Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Elizabeth Gaskell. I love to explore new places and I hope to travel more in the future.

Why The Pale Parabola of Joy? The title of this blog is a reference to the P.G Wodehouse novel Leave it to Psmith in which Psmith pretends to be the fictitious poet Ralston McTodd. The only line of McTodd’s poetry that Psmith has read is “Across the pale parabola of joy” and nobody knows what it means. I love the sort of humor that gently (or perhaps not so gently) teases the over serious, this is exactly what Leave it to Psmith does. So I named my blog after a nonsensical metaphor in a line of poetry written by a fictitious poet.
