Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Welcome, truth_forest! I don't suppose you'd know my friend, Sherwood?

ElizabethSewall, is that Claire Danes in your avatar? Or am I mistaken?

Indeed, that's Claire Danes as Juliet Capulet, in Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
Welcome everyone!!! :D

Hi everyone... As this is my very first post, I guess I aught to introduce myself!
I'm currently a student at college in Spain as an expat. studiying for my British A levels in English Literature, Psychology, Business Studies and Spanish. I enjoy reading novels, mainly autobiographies and the like, at the moment I am reading Sharon Osbourne's - Extreme. I also enjoy writing both poetry and short stories, although I have just started a novel; but I am yet to finish the second chapter!
I haven't really had the most exciting of existances, mainly because of my "troubled" childhood, and so there isn't very much worth writing about...
Anyway, hello to you all, and I hope to see everyone around on the forums :o) Glad I stumbled across!

Welcome Broken Rainbow. I hope you enjoy it here.

¡Hola, señor broken_rainbow! ¡Bienvenidos a LitNet!

Welcome Broken Rainbow and Elizabeth Sewall. :wave:

Hello Everyone,

I would like to intriduce myself by refering to a quote given by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, addressed to the youth of America
" You have to be the voices for change in America. Bring your hopes and bring your dreams, bring your IPods and your cell phone cameras, and change the world your way."
Well done

Hi Everyone
I am Venicemerchant and I just started reading Shakespeare. (A bit late in life 34 years old)
I hope to learn more about him and his writing.
I am also an Emily Dickinson fan and one of her best poems

Parting
My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

I found that poem after I had lost both my mama and daddy and that was exactly how I felt. Partins is all we know of heaven and all we need of hell...
Anyway just saying Hello to everyone...
God Bless
Venicemerchant
