lena24 profile - diary |
| comments: Sometimes people come into your life in such a way so as to make you wonder if there isn't a Great Plan or something. An overall cool person, wrestling with some of the same stuff as me. |

| comments: In a wonderful act of self-honesty, "Just a normal freak." :) Hard to go wrong with that... |

| comments: A blog-wanderer who just happened to find mine. Coincidentally, we're both dealing with urges to 'wander' from current homes. Great blog. Well put together in both appearance and content. Her blog, that is...don't know about her. :) |

Sarah McLachlan |

My favorite authors: |
|
J.R.R. Tolkien |
| comments: My first love...again, since '92. (hmm...a lot happened in 1992...) |
|
Stephen Donaldson |
| comments: The hero is a leper. What else can I say? Taught me more about the nature of evil and courage than any other single source. |
|
Stephen Lawhead |
| comments: One of the best Historical and Mythical fiction writers around. Specializes in Celtic folklore. |
|
C.S. Lewis |
| comments: There is unavoidable truth to much of what he says. Read 'A Grief Observed' and find out why I respect that more than I can say. |
|
Frank Herbert |
| comments: Political, social and religous commentary set in one of the most well-crafted settings in sci-fi. |
