My name is Aldana, I'm from Argentina and I live in a small town south of a province from "el interior"...that would be other than Buenos Aires... Whenever you mention Argentina to people abroad, they immediately think of B.A, but there's sooooo much more to Argentina than just Buenos Aires.

Every province has its own magic...and even if mine is not so wonderful (because we were not graced with gorgeous landscapes or cosmopolitan cities) there's still lots to feel proud of!!! ;) Our capital city -Santa Fe- is really well known for its "alfajores santafesinos" kind of a mini cake filled with "dulce de leche" :D yummy!!!! And Rosario...the craddle of our national flag...and home of the greatest culture in our country. Most of the best musicians, writers and actors are from Rosario. It's a beautiful city filled with magic.

My own town has some magic of its own. It's situated south of Santa Fe province and is called " Venado Tuerto" (the town of the one-eyed deer...that would be the translation :p) The legend tells that in the times of the indian raids...there was this little deer, injured by one indian arrow...that would come to the outskirts of the village every time there was danger of an invation, to warn people of the coming dangers...

Well, that's a bit of history from this whereabouts...I didn't really say anything about me, I now realise...;)

I can tell you I'm 27 and engaged to be married in October...After 11 years of "dating" it's finally my hour!! :D

I'm an english "language and literature" teacher (that would be the correct tittle) and I love what I do...especially when it comes to literature (hence my subscription to this forum :D )

I love pretty much everything except doing sports (that would make me kind of a geek, right?) Reading is between my outmost favorites, but I also enjoy music, cooking, crafts and watching films and sit-coms ...i'm a huge fun of those...especially old classics like The nanny, Mad about You, Seindfeld and Friends...but the new ones are also great (Lost and Heroes amongs my favs)

Well, i now realise I have extended myself quite a lot and I wouldn't like to bore you to death....

It's great to be part of this amazing site

Welcome to all the newbies...(I guess that includes me, right? ;) )

WOW!!!!!!!! 11 years!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Wishes!!!

Hello everyone! I stumbled on this place in my search for another poetry site. One that I used to belong to was disbanded. I've been doing this awhile so I like to see all types of poetry, especially different than mine. I don't know that I have a favorite poet, I keep finding new favorites, the last was Jane Mead.

I'm happy to meet all of you.

HEY SMART GIRL!!!! Everybody is welcome into my cybernetic friendly world :p.....no matter the age, hair colour....or anything else :D

WELCOME TO THE FORUM :thumbs_up

thanxs. well, i'm 14, going to be a freshmen. I actually am strawberry blonde. I love to read the Harry Potter Series. I play volleyball, and i have a million pets. 5 dogs, 7 puppies, 4 cats, and a deer that returns to are place to feed.

I am so glad to have found this forum! I dabble in writing and will post frequently, however I am truly moved and amazed at the poetry of others.

In short, I live in Peoria, Arizona (where it is 112 degrees right now - good time to stay inside and write poetry), I am a divorced mother of two teenage boys with whom I live with, as well as my Great Dane Phoebe and Tory the Black Lab. My day job is working as an Exec Asst for the City, but my passion is art. I draw, paint and make glass beads which I design jewelry with. I am also a psychic and read cards professionally. I also send out a "Gratitude" e-mail weekly to people that subscribe - it is a blurb on my musings of some subject that I am grateful for. I have always felt the need to put my feelings down on paper and I acknowledge and respect the power of the written/spoken word. Words have the power to destroy or heal; invite sadness or joy; and by expressing our thoughts we change a moment in time.

So I am looking forward to reading everyone's work - in a small way it helps me to stay connected to my fellow man by peeking into a part of their world.

Namaste'

Hi, My name is Aaron Disney..(bet you couldn't have guessed that huh?) -

I live in Southern Indiana. I have a 1 and a half year old boy and a wife (Mistie). I work in a plastics factory, and that's pretty much me.

Well, I'm not as seasoned as probably 99% on here at the literature thing. I am a Christian and a Sunday School teacher, so most of my reading has been of the Biblical sort. I've read the Bible through 3 times and I've read several commentaries and such (not necessarily all through).

But I began my first fiction book (since Paddington the Bear as a child) last December. It was "The Hobbit" by Tolkein. I followed that up with "The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy" - also Tolkein. I got the taste for it and decided to go to the library and seek our something I wanted to read. I was drawn to Dickens' David Copperfield. Since then - I've spent the whole year on my new hobby.....Dickens!
I've read Copperfield, Great Expectations, Bleak House, A Christmas Carol, Nicholas Nickleby, Oliver Twist, The Old Curiosity Shop, A Tale of Two Cities, and Hard Times all in 7 months.

Hopefully I'll learn a few things about Dickens and others from listening to you on here.

Hey, welcome. I am a total Tolkien nut so I understand how entrancing it is! :nod:. Enjoy the forums, you'll love it here!

Hi all! Welcome to the forum! :)

Hello. I decided to introduce myself before I get on with posting. Here it goes:

I'm am a male sixteen year old with many hobbies and interests. They include sports (ice hockey, soccer, track & field), reading (the classics for the most part), and learning. I occasionally play tabletop wargames to pass the time.

My favorite book is The Hunchback of Notre Dame (also known as Notre-Dame de Paris). Of course, this is subject to change. Currently, I am reading Les Miserables which is a very good book. As some may be able to tell, Hugo is my favorite author at the moment. I think myself as an omnivorous reader, because of my interests that stretch far beyond the realm of fiction. I read anything that has to do with literature, philosophy, and history (military history especially).

Well that's it for now. See you in the forums!
