Hello. I am childoffaith. I love reading. I have read 468 pages in about six hours. Some of the books I have read are Princess Bride, the Chronicles of Narnia, the Hobbit, the Inkheart series, nearly all the hardback Nancy Drew's, the Squire's Tales (for all you who like medieval stuff, this series is great), Ella Enchanted, Fairest, the Dragonkeeper series, the Oracles of Fire and Dragons in our Midst, the Door Within series, Isle of swords, Isle of fire, the Princess and the Goblin, the Princess and Curdie, the Phantom of the Opera, Echos from the Edge series, Jack Blank and the Imagine Nation, the Mark of the Lion series, all the Lost Books (until he writes more, that is), most of the Bible, the first 9 Ranger's Apprentice books, first 10 of the 39 Clues series, Cathrine, also called Birdie; and a whole bunch more. I am a readaholic. My fav. genre is Christian fantasy. I want to be a writer, but have trouble with coming up with ideas and sitting down to write. I have three cats. My favorite kind of animal is bird. My favorite color is green. I like nearly all foods except Mexican, spicy, cake, and cupcakes. Icecream cakes are good. Pies are great, especially cream pies. My favorite tv shows are I love Lucy, Beverly Hillbillies, and Gilligan's Island. I have two older brothers. I'm not home schooled but wish I was. If I could take any hobbies, I would choose fencing, horseback riding, and archery. I like making my own candles, but only get to do it every so renaissance fair.
Ok, I think I have thoroughly introduced myself. That's all!
Keep reading!
And God bless you!

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

Welcome to HW! *Sprinkles glitter*

Wow! You like reading I see! Me too.

Welcome, childoffaith! Yay! Another Nancy Drew reader! Have you read any of the Hardy Boys? We have lots of readers in here. It looks like you'll fit in great in here.

*several penguins slide in on glitter bags* Anyone have something to open these up with? Oh, and I can't forget the punch. *lugs in a bowl of punch*

*watches a penguin pull out a sharp icicle and cut the bags open*

Welcome, welcome, welcome! Here are the promised muffins! I hope you like Banana Bread, because that is what kind they are. *hands you a huge basket of muffins*

New friend! Welcome - we're glad to have you!

Ohh... no cupcakes for you? I'll let Jonathan Garner have them all, then.

Hello and welcome! We're glad you're here!

Apparently I don't need to request help on behalf of my penguins. *turns on the fan* There.

Welcome, Childoffaith!

*white rose petals float in the air*

Thanks!


They are quite resourceful.

You know... intro's is kinda run over with punch at the moment... To add some selection:

*sets out hot cocoa (for those in colder climates), coffee (you have stay up! no sleeping in intro's!), lemonade (if life gives you lemons...), hot tea (for you British/tea drinking peoples ^.^), orange juice (for those who are just waking up ), water (for those who enjoy God's refreshing gift ), and.... fruit smoothies! (any flavor! )*

That being done... What do you like to drink, Faith? *sit down with a glass of lemonade*

Thank you all for making me feel welcome! Yes, I have read the Hardy Boys, all that I could get from the library. My 2 fav refreshments are water and fruit smoothies, thank you very much. I have a strange dislike for soda. At first, I only liked lemon lime and orange, the smell of the other sodas made me feel sick. Then, I had so much lemon lime that I grew tired of it, and suddenly disliked it as much as the rest. Then, the same thing happened with he orange! Yes, it is strange. I also don't like coffee. The smell makes me feel sick. Ah, well. Thanks once again! HW seems real fun. When I first saw the abbreviation, I thought it stood for homework! lol! but I'm catching on!

*almost-dies laughing*

But you never know... we're good at making people write, draw, play music, and other kinds of artistic arts around here... you just might end up with some "homework."

Cool signature and avatar, Childoffaith. *takes a smoothie* Yes, you will catch on.

Welcome to Holy Worlds, Childoffaith! I also thought HW stood for homework back when I first joined.

I've always devoured books, so I think that's what sparked my writing flame. ^^ My mom used to write, but she's busy raising me and my brother...soon to be only my brother, and one of my friend's finally inspired me to write my first serious story when I was 11.

I have 8 cats. (1 indoor, 7 outdoor.) I love kitties! I've even had them in my books before.

YUS! I used to watch I Love Lucy, Beverly Hillbillies, and Gilligan's Island with my great-grandma when we slept over at her house. Goood times. :3

Happy exploring!

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

*sips some hot tea* Why, thank you, Vili!

Welcome, childoffaith!! I see you've been thoroughly doused in glitter, penguins, punch, rose petals, and most other literary confections - and glad to see you're (apparently) surviving with sanity intact . I just went through the full treatment myself - or perhaps I'm still in the middle of it (graduation seems tentative around here).

Anyway, the point of that chunk of text above was simply: Welcome!

*adds specialty apple pie to the growing mountain of food* Smells delightful!

~ Dawn (also called Evenstar, Star, Estar)

"Graduation" happens when your thread dies... and resurrection is always possible until the thread gets locked & archived.

Welcome!
*tosses random awesome things into thread as I exit*

*hates that she missed so much of the party *

Welcome, ChildofFaith. I am so sorry for my neglect of you, but alas, I could not help it. Please forgive me.

What? You don't like CUPCAKES?! That is like... sacrilegious around here, I think.

Well, you have not truly been welcomed until I sprinkle glitter around your thread, so I shall send my little pixies around the room to beautify it for you

Welcome.

And you should talk! You won't eat my cupcakes, so I have to give them to Jonathan Garner.

I never said- *rolls eyes * Ya'll are hopeless, that's what you are, hopeless! I wash my hands of the whole cupcake conversation!

Lovingly, we could say the same of you, dear.

*chuckles and rolls eyes * You all say you love me... Sometime I wonder...

Poor me.

* laughs * If you are talking about hopeless in the sense we are all hopelessly addicted to Philly's cupcakes, then you are quite correct, my dear Airi. *hands Airi towel to dry her hands on*

*dries hands * On the acronym discussion, I have to say HWers threw me for a loop when I first began poking around here. What in the world was LWW? LotR? Please, speak English, people! But I asked questions, got used to it, and now people (poor Varon) ask me whatever in the world I'm talking about when I say CoE. *feels chastened * I am driving other people crazy with the very thing that drove (and still drives) me crazy.

Beware, some members will use Acronyms just to throw you off. *looks pointedly at Little E *

*daftness* what is CoE? Took me forever to work out what LOtR was, along with HWCS.

*laughs * I sympathize, Aussie, so I'll enlighten you. CoE is City of Ember.

Ah, ok. Thanks for enlightening me Airi, even if I don't know what "City of Ember" is.

*Bounces happily* SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GLAD YOU ARE HERE!
*Gives you a pound of glitter.* Here, this is the normal gift of Holy Worlds!
This is the greatest site ever! (I've been here since March.) I hope to see you in the chat room sometime! Hehe, I'm one of the noisy ones there!


May you have a wonderful day and come here often!

Elmirza, also know as Za or Zael.

Have you not seen/read the movie/book, Aussie? Well, let me rectify this for you. *goes to fish out her own link, and is very proud of herself for not calling on her link elves *

Here it be: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkSFsbv6eUg

Ooh, looks interesting. I don't think I'd ever seen it before... I might be confusing it with City of Lies. *decides to track down* Thanks Airi!

Let it hereby be known that I absolutely LOVE City of Ember! The book was a favorite, and the movie has the same essence, plus an amazing score and a delightful steampunk styling. For awhile I was a bit obsessed with the story, and as such thought a lot about the subtext of Ember. I wrote a long review, comparing the book to the movie, to prove it.

A very clean family film. I recommend it!

Awesome! *adds to watchlist*

Yeah! Tell me what you think of it when you see it.

Will do, thankyou Philly!

Thank you!

*dances around, sprinkling glitter everywhere* Your opinion, m'lady? *courtseys and grins at the Glitter Queen*

Welcome to Holy Worlds!

(About City of Ember, the prequel is really weird)

Is it a prequel? There are 3 more books in the series, I think, but I haven't read them. I've heard the possible anti-Christianity goes off the deep end in the later books.

The prequel is one of the three later books, The Prophet of Yonwood, which could easily be very anti-Christian or even anti-religion.

Since we've washed the cupcakes off our hands, (Is that possible?), I suggest scones. All in flavor?

Yet more books that I have not read!

Thanks for the review, Varon!

Oh, I'm not giving up on the cupcakes entirely, but scones sound good.

Yummy!

Cinnamon chocolate ones are good.

Can't remember if I welcomed you or not I probably have, but in case I didn't: welcome! Have a frosting-flavored cupcake mint.
