Introduce Yourself here and say Hi.

Hi to you all, just joined today. Looking forward to sharing thoughts & ideas on the written word. I'm not much of a classical reader, just enjoy a good book. Be back soon. :thumbs_up

Hello, my name is Angel. I am new here, but you will get to know me really well. LoL;)

hello hello everyone ^.^ I am looking forward to discovering much of the literature world with help from this site

hi everybody, i just registered and wanted to say a few words of introduction. i'm german, currently living in berlin, working at uni (philosophy & cultural studies). i've been running a literature blog in german with my short fiction, some experimental web-related stuff and pieces of a novel in progress for a while, and lately i've been feeling like i'd love to try writing in english too. being no native speaker, this is still very much like trying to make yourself at home in a very dark room, but it's also interesting because it makes you think about words in a way you probably wouldn't if they belonged to your mother tongue. anyway, you can find the first results of my attempt to become a bilingual writer on my blog indenselbenfluss.twoday.net (the blog's name means "into the same river"). i'm looking forward to reading the other members' texts here, and i'd appreciate critical comments or any kind of feedback. alright, so...imagine i'm taking a bow now and awkwardly rubbing my palms while leaving the stage with the mic...

I think many persons know me by now. And in fact it is my posts that introduce me better, yet to introduce myself formally is a joy indeed.

I am from Nepal, a country you may know by the great Himalayan ranges, and Mt.Everest, best of all. The birthplace of the Buddha is another thing worth mentioning to identify myself with.

Legends are the makings of Nepal and we live more in legends than in realities. We have more gods than people and more dreams that moments of wakefulness.

Nepal is more of a country of poets, singers, mystics and less of scientists, merchants.

Notwithstanding all that said i am at heart not a Nepali. The fabrics I wear identify me with is Nepali. These are the externals to me. The real me is my writings I outfit myself with to be together with you across many oundaries.

I am Haribol Acharya. And how funnily named!!! Since all of you know my by 'Blaze of glory. A simple lad and all I know is skin deep, and learned from books and all of you through interaction with you.


I was from an agrarian community, a remote part of Nepal. First, if you visit Nepal you will find the country a remote and highly undeveloped place, and when you talk about a remote village of a remote country you can figure out the degree of remoteness.

But now I am in a place with all the amenities a modern city has.

I am a banker by business, and a writer by choice.

My domains of interest?

I am a funny man, simple, easy going, no complex. I can make friends from princes to paupers, and I can feel at home anywhere and with any. Speaking of my interest I am interested in so many things at the same time. I like to be a writer, learn new languages, visit many places, read many classics, read books legends and mythologies. I am interested in businesses. I love gardening, write poems, and play musical instruments, pray, meditate despite the fact that more often than not I present myself as an atheist.

One of my intimate friends, in fact I have many here, is Nikolai. I often cold on and harsh on in words, but not in reality. I believe in spirituality deeply and I am not my words at times. As a writer I fabricate ideas and it is not necessary that I am my words thou at time I am my words too.

My firm and unshaken belief is in you, not in name or a specific identity you wear, a nationality or a degree. No a person that is you beyond the seen.

Hi,
my name is terry and i'm new to this site. I enjoy reading and had a minor in english literature in college. I miss talking with people who really love good literature and enjoy talking about books they have read or are reading. I'm glad to find this site.

Hi everybody

My name is Lena. I`m essentially from Russia, live in Germany for two years and want to move to US in a year or two. I`m studying sociology at the Heidelberg Uni and I love what i`m doing.

Why does everyone think teaching is such a horrible career chioce? We all had them, and I'm sure I can't be the only one who appreciated them. The last woman I told I was going to college to teach responded with "It's a thankless job, with no glory in it." Is everyone obsessed with money? We can't all be pharmacists and doctors. This is not the reaction I had anticipated... Since, when did teaching become the wrong thing to do with your life?

Hello everybody

My name is Judy >>> I am from syria >> I graduated this year from English literature
department >> I am fond of the English language and English literature
>> I wish I would have benefit and fun from this site >>

Hello Everyone,
Well there isn't much to say, My name is Georgia. I am an English student and I am interested firstly in foreign lamguages and also Egyptology. Currently I study Spanish and Japanese and hope to travel in the future as staying in one place can easilly bore me. In my free time I write poetry, I haven't really decided on what I would like to do with my life yet so I enjoy new oppertunities and experiences.

HIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do not wish to introduce myself or tell anyone where im from, but i prefer math over reading.

Hi. I just joined. I have a degree in English and Psychology, neither of which I use at my job. I love weasels and sammiches. I have been perusing this site for a week or so now, and I really enjoy "meeting" people who love to read!

This sort of group hug seems to be compulsory. Yet I despise it.

Hi everyone!
My name is Milana and I'm from Ukraine. English is not my first language, so I have some problems with this, but I trying to learn more and practice. I like reading classic literature and also trying to write by myself.

Hi,
I am a teacher living near the city where Edgar Allan Poe grew up in Virginia. I love my job and I will be kind when I grade...I mean critique... items I read on this message board.
I have some poetry of my own to share in the coming months/years. I look forward to discussing books, stories, novels, and poems with all of you.

Hi ldevier,
When I left high school, the last person I told I was going to be a teacher replied, "There is no money in it!"
I said, "I don't care about the money."
He immediately said, "You will when bread is $2 a loaf."
I did not change my mind and I love teaching. Do you teach, ldevier?
