Hey, my name is Tanis. I just joined this site and am also interested in reading and drawing. I like to write my own poetry and travel. I am involved in Tae Kwon Do and have my 2nd degree black. The winter has got me out of shape though. I will only be around for awhile (living in Minnedosa Manitoba) before I head out to work across Canada for the summer, as a youth counsellor. It is good to meet others like yourself who are interested in some of the same things!!!
Hi Tanis, Some of my friends are also very much interested in Tai Kwon Fo. Even, I had to do it for a few months.
Welcome to the forum!
IN THE BEGINNING:
The fine soup of the mechanized wonders moved along the skyline, lit pink by the early dawn. Into the distance behind them rolled the endless, never-ending path to the dream of the stones. Back where the dust clouds left in their wake marked their passing; there were the ancient stepping stones. Lore described these stones as silent witnesses to the advent of the tribe. Ever since memory began, the stones were always there, blotting the horizon with their solid presence. It was forbidden to change, mar or take away even the tiniest of flints from the vicinity.
Homebone looked into the small shard of stone he had secreted from the ancient location. It seemed soapy to touch and never seemed to get wet.
Hi, I'm Maida and I'm new to this entire thing. I'm not even sure if I'm doing this right. A little about myself, I'm a high school student. I like reading and writing short stories. I also like indie films, and all types of music. I'm not really a sports fan. Every one here seems super cool. I live in Seattle, Washington and love the rain although it does get annoying after a while. I'm from Bosnia, but my family had to leave about 13 years ago because of the civil war. I've been taking French for five years, and adore the language. Those are the basics.
Hello everyone!
I'm a high school student from Sydney, Australia and i just stumbled across this site as i was looking for some good information about "Heart of Darkness". I'm studying it this year and finding it quite extensive reading (being highly allegorical).
With regards to school (which takes up a lot of my time) I enjoy most of the arts subjects like english, dance, singing, drama and french though i also like science. Outside of school i do dance, play the piano, do singing and socialise with friends. I love SHOPPING!
Anyway, i was hoping that through my HSC years i can get some good tips on my english work and i could hopefully help anyone else with the seemingly limited knowledge that i have or literature.

Hi everyone! Welcome to the forum, newbies!
vip, I am afraid that I have not read Heart Of Darkness so I can't help you with it. By the way, have a nice time here and keep on posting!
Maida, I have also started to learn French a few months ago and have learnt only a few words. I wish you a good luck with it. It is really difficult to learn.
New registered user here, nice to meet you all.
Hi Azilut. Nice o meet you too.
Just saw this--Of course! No wonder she looked so familiar, I must have seen that painting at the exhibit of portraits off Maria de Medici they had at the Pitti in Firenze this summer (I was there for a few weeks for study/holiday). That also explains why I couldn't make up my mind whether the subject was French or Italian (her clothing here is a more Northern style, but the painter is obviously Italian, and I thought the sitter was too). Knowing that, my first instinct was to say the artist was Pulzone, and evidently it has been attributed to him but is elsewhere attributed to Ambito di Santo and Tiberio Titi, so I guess you can take your pick. Welcome again to the forums.Quote:
The lady in my avatar is Maria de' Medici, unfortunately I don't know who is the author.

Azilut--Nice to meet you.
Well I'll just introduce myself before I leave off for church. Where do i begin? Well, I just recently joined the literature network because i thought it'd be a fun way to meet people on the net while sharing a little bit about myself and what I like to read. So far it seems like a very nice little site. I'm currently a student, I love music (singing, going to concerts, just listening and playing guitar) and I absolutely adore being on stage wether I'm singing my heart out or I'm acting my very best. I'm polish and I love to learn about different cultures and languages. If you want to learn more about me you can check out my profile anytime :)
Welcome passionate. You sound like an interesting person. I hope you will enjoy lit net.
