Hi All
I'm Glad I've Found This Forum
:)
:wave: Welcome everyone, hope you all really enjoy your stay here, it really is a wonderful forum with many very interesting and fantastic people! :D
Greetings to you all!:) My English literature teacher gave us the adress to this site and after a while I've decided to join the forum as well.
Well, what can I say about myself? I am a student-in my first year, actually-and I am studying English and Spanish language and literature. I have always loved reading quite a lot and some of my favorite authors are J.R.R. Tolkien- his books are actually one of my biggest passions and I read The Lord of the Rings twice a year- J.K Rowling, Rosemary Sutcliff-although I could not find too many of her books:( -Ray Bradbury and Arthur Conan Doyle. I also spend most of my time writing both poems and short stories as well. I am very glad I have found this site and I am sure I will enjoy myself here.
Once again, greetings!:)
Hello everyone!
I am a philosophy student planning to become a published author of mostly fiction. The genre that I prefer to write in is Experimental. My hobbies include: Reading, Writing, Listening to Music, Watching Movies: Foreign, Indie mostly; going to concerts, going to dances, traveling, reading on the beach, relaxing at home, hanging out with friends, having deep conversations, learning new things about people that I have just met etc.
Good day everyone.. i wanted to stop in and introduce myself before i ask my questions. would be rude for me not to do so. My name is jamie and i am a mother of 3 wonderful kids. i currently enrolled into tech. Im not so sure as to why but i did and the classes are way harder then expected and needed help from you fine people to get through it.... :crash:
hello there! i am a new member. well, i became a member two days ago but had not thought of saying hi... I hope this won't sound very rude... Well, here i am now. I must say i LOVE this site. I am an english literature student, its my first year at the university. Well, once again hi, even if i was a bit late...
Just signed up today, figured I'd introduce myself. I'm Brad... I'm 17 and in my first year of college. I'm studying what basically equates to English Lit, and I love reading. My favorite authors actually aren't really of the "classic" variety, but nevertheless, are Nick Horny, Kurt Vonnegut, and Anthony Burgess. And George Orwell, but I've only read 1984 and Animal Farm.
My other main interests are in film and music. My favorite film is The Royal Tenenbaums, among many others, and my favorite band is Porcupine Tree, among, again, many others.
Hope to have a fun time here and get to know some intelligent people.
how should I start??:blush:
O.K my name is Sana, I'm 21 years old:cool: ,I live in the Middle East but from Turkish origin.
I love dancind and walking very much... I'm used to walk about 1 houre daily:nod:
watching T.V is very boring for me so I prefer listening to the radio.
beside studying i work in a trading company, import department.
when Ifeel bad I'm used to sleep in my mum hug ,when I feel despair I call my sweetheart, and when I'm happy I spend my time with my friends.
I believe in long term friendship relations.
Now it is spring time and due to my love of the nature I go picnics and trips twice a week or maybe more, if you have time you can join me any time you want:wave:
that what I can now say,maybe I will add something else another day.;)
hi hello
I teach AP English in NW Washington, D.C. with British and Russian Literature being my "grand passion". I love the Victorian Social Problem Novel (e.g., Alton Locke by Charles Kingsley) and tackling foreign languages. Into Russian now and can't wait to read Tolstoy, Chekov, et.al. in the original tongue.:p
I'll be travelling to teach English in Novosibirsk, Siberia this summer.
Love Oxford, my husband, and my daughter.
Dislike grading 50 papers on the same topic and deadlines.
Like students and teaching.
Dislike two-party political systems where the candidates are mirror images of each others in terms of their MOTIVES.:sick:
Dislike students addicted to electronics.:crash:

Of course the pyramids are the big draw, but I'd also love to see Cairo, Alexandria, Memphis, Luxor, and take a cruise down the Nile.Quote:

I also have another peom that is called 'Little Nancy knockabout'. It goes Little Nancy knockabout wouldn't wash her face, covered with sutt, mud and marmlade, 'oh what a disgrace'. Until on fine day a coal man can knocking at Nancy's door and said "oh, Nancy for my wife I would adore...... but Nancy screamed and ran away and ordered 20 bars of soap that very same day...Quote:

Hi, after what I've read, it's really awesome to join u guys.
o.k, let's begin,
I'm not native English speaker :D. BUT, i love Literature, that's why I'm studying English literatures.......;)
i can remember ur site, from the first beginning in my major, when i was looking 4 some simple, short English Learning definitions, but now I'm looking 4 really good analysis and cool friends, i guess it's here!!:p
i write English poetry, and it was my beginning with English, i have bad and good ones, and it REALLY released my depression.
BUT
My problem, which actually enjoyable one!!!:D is whatever i study or read about capture my mind, then i go searching and looking for every detail that related to that material, so i can give correct point of view about that, and since i become so busy about finding useful info, the exams got close and i still didn't read my printed lost (around the room) papers and researches. e.x the last exam was (Romantic Poetry) , i was reading that papers all the night, and @ 8 a.m when i was supposed to be in the exam room, i was there, in the far corner of the building reviewing the important point and themes of Blake and Wordsworth.
i was late for 15 minutes, and wasted extra 10 minuets to recollect my ideas on the draft sheet, uh:sick: . the time ends up with my last full stop.....:D , i couldn't even review my answers, but come down guys i got really good mark in that exam,:bawling: !!!!!!!
but the doctor said that's great job coz i had the highest mark in my group!!!!:D
and here i go on mostly every exam: Shakespeare, Drama, etc.:blush:
i need ur help guys in the make up exams, don't let me down, PLZ.;)
i wish that's enough, trouble explanation, it wasn't just saying: hi.:D
feel free to ask me any thing guys...!:p
I m new here...and really looking for ur help...
Literature is getting tough for me.. :(
R u guyz gonna help me?
tc
Im corn. ah, hi. i read, write shorts and teach elementary school. long haired biker type, but i dont bite. i think im really smart, but i may be the only one with that particular belief. thats it. few words say much, or maybe many words do. im not sure. i might be stoned. cheers.
heyyyy , i'm new here and i love reading books, especially in english and french, i'm from lebanon ( a small country above israel where it's people talk in arabic) so as u can see i can talk three languages,:arabic, french and english... i'm 18 years old (well after 2 moths :P) and this is my last year in school :(
anyway my favorite authors are english people and i seriously don't know why, for instance: Barbara Cartland, Agatha Christy, and Charlotte Bronte
i'm a girl who like to read,and draw while listening to music
i'm right now tryin to write a story, but beleive it or not, it's all science fiction with people who have magical powers and stuff like that; good for the cartoon fans (like me :P)
anyway , nice to meet you :D
