Side notes:
- How did I get my 'Internet identity'? Well let's see; Raquel TWG stands for "Raquel The Weather Girl", duh. Brody shortened it when he put me on his blogroll, so I decided to keep it like that. But the reason why I chose to be 'The Weather Girl' is because there's this song by Circleslide, that I really like. The lead singer's Myspace URL was "myspace.com/onlineweatherboy", so I made myself the weather GIRL, seeing as we have the same last name, so it fit.
When I first got this blog, it was called "Today's Forecast" to play along with the name, but I decided that it was too cheesy. So I changed it to Signature of Divine after another song I really like.
- One of the my biggest dreams in life is to meet Jon Foreman. Honestly, he is the 2nd coolest person to ever walk the earth after Jesus. Of course 2nd place is not even close to 1st place. But 3rd place is definitely not close to 2nd place either. This guy is a freaking musical/lyrical GENIUS. He's the next David [as in that guy that wrote like half of the Psalms]!

I’m doing pretty good. Almost straight As except for English class. YES with the Enlgish teacher who isn’t too fond of me (:
And if you want give me your myspace link and I’ll add you.
It’s that if you’re under 18 [which I am] then everyone over 18 needs to know your last name or email to add you. Bleh.

Hey Raquel :) nice name.
This is raquelkc from Twitter, if that tells you anything.
This is random, but that’s besides the point. There’s a funny story I just have to tell you.
I had commented on one of Phil Wickham’s posts on his website, and went back later to read other comments. I saw your comment, and that your name is also Raquel, which I rarely see. So I clicked on your blog, and saw your post of one of Joel & Luke’s videos. It looked interesting, so I watched it, and then listened to and watched EVERYTHING by Joel and Luke. And I looove them, now. So thanks to your name being Raquel as well, I now listen to Joel & Luke :) Haha.
Also, I saw what you wrote about Jon Foreman – completely agree! I also saw that you like piano-rock music. I’m in a band called Skyline Circle, and that’s what we are. We went to Nashville this summer and recorded a CD, which will be out on the 25th :) we’re not signed or anything, but just trying to get out there and spread the word and love of God. Check us out and let me know what you think!

Sorry for the randomness and length of this comment.. :)
God Bless! :)

And I’m SO glad to have introduced you to Joel & Luke! I love those men to pieces.
In response to the part about your band, funny thing…I’ve already been to your guys’ Myspace. Hehe. The music is awesome. GREAT stuff. Really :D

Well when you started following me on Twitter, I checked out your profile and saw the link for the Myspace there (:
