Why I Love…{Arwen Undomiel}

"And she was called Undomiel, for she was the Evenstar of her people." No, in case you were misled by the quote, I am not well-read in the Lord of the Rings  books.  (I'm sorry, I'm sorry!  I plan to read them all, and I've started them before, but they're SO gigantic and can be slightly hard to follow.  But there are parts of them that I already love, and like I said, I'm going to read them eventually.  I will!)  I just happen to have read that quote, and love it.  Know why?  Because (apart from its obvious poetic power), it describes one of my favorite people.  Know who she is?  You're right!  Arwen Undomiel!  *gasp*  How did  you guess??;) Now, as to why.  Why do I love Arwen so much?  Sure, she's beautiful, but to some people, she doesn't even have a real purpose in the trilogy.  (For the record, this is my reaction when I hear that - ) Don't mess with my Lord of the Rings, peeps.  I will get ugly;)  Anywho.

The Completely Random and Useless Tag

Image
Okie-dokie, so Kiri Liz (of  Lianne Taimenlore ) 's sister, Jessa Bri, has created a tag, whose title you may read above (and below…).  ;D You all know I love such delights, so here goes:) Rules (copied from Kiri Liz's blog) : 1.  Copy this tag and answer all of the questions. 2.  Mention me, Jessa Bri, and link back to my blog. 3.  Comment on this post and leave a link to your post with the tag. 4.  Feel free to tag people…or don't tag anyone at all! Favorite color? Quite honestly, I don't have one.  I do, however, tend to prefer blues, greens, and purples, typically in that order. What book are you currently reading? Les Miserables  by Victor Hugo.  Which is pretty fantastic.  And rather overwhelmingly long… Popcorn or pickles? Well, as I can't currently have popcorn (dratted braces and all…), I'd have to say pickles. What is your favorite way to eat raisins? Raisins aren't my favorite, but they can be nice,

Sunflower Blogger Award

*NOTE:   Apparently the award is the Beautiful Blogger award, but…the questions were the same!:) Miss Laurie of  Old-Fashioned Charm  nominated her readers for the Sunflower Award, and I love answering questions like these:)  My warmest thanks to you, Miss Laurie!  So here are my answers: 1.  Do you like pulling practical jokes on people?   Not really.  I intensely dislike it when they're played on me, so 't'wouldn't be very nice to play them on others, would it?  That wouldn't be Christian, Miss Shirley!  That just wouldn't be Christian! 2.  Do you knit, crochet, cross stitch or do any other needlework?  If not would you like to learn?   A little, and very ill.  I sew (barely), and not efficiently, and I've recently tried knitting and crocheting, without much luck.  However, I would greatly love to improve myself;) 3.  What was the last period drama you watched?   Lorna Doone.   Which I plan to review soon. 4.  Which flavor do you p
