My Favorite Quotes:

"Beauty is Fleeting and Charm is deceptive, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."
- Excerpt from Psalm 31, the Bible

If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world. -C.S. Lewis

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it can not be is moderately important. -C.S. Lewis

Have fun playing fetch with Jesus, Buddy

--I, Western Arawen, after receiving Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows around 1 AM 7/21/07 finished said book approximately at 6:48 PM that same day. And the best part of the book is when Harry -...and you thought I was going to give it away. I will, however, tell you that it is one of the most awesomest books ever!!

--I finally saw WICKED!! It was on Sept.1 in Philly!! It was THRILLIFYING! That night Christina DeCicco played Glinda and Colleen Sexton (the standby) played Elphaba. I was able to go to the stage door and met four of the stars (Christina, Colleen, Cliffton Hall, and DeeDee Magno Hall)!! They each signed my poster and program, and I gave my poems to Christina, Colleen, and DeeDee. DeeDee read hers before she left and she loved it!! They were all so sweet! I won't rant anymore about how amazing it was here, but if you want to hear more PM me.
