    Hi all! I am an English language and literature student. I find this a very good place for language learners. Hope we can learn and grow together!
    I walk slowly, but never walk backwards!

    Hello all
    I have just came across and registered to this forum. I assume I am older than most in here.
    I am Greek and live in Piraeus, Greece - something I have tried to change, but with no results so far. In life, I consider myself to be a late bloomer. Professionally, I was a wanderer, not knowing what I wanted to do. A fact that led me to gain experience in a variety of fields. Later, this proved to be a valuable asset in life and professional experience. In mature age I studied Psychology and specialized/ an MSc in Applied Forensic Psychology. Today I work as a drug counsellor/therapist with drug addicted offenders as well as prisoners.
    During the last years I developed a wider interest in p[hilosophical issues and a special interest in astrology.

    Greetings

    Greetings all,

    I'm a retired English teacher missing conversation about books. (I do run a bookstore now, but it's online, so not much conversation going on.)

    Hoping to fill that void here.

    Hello

    Hey, I'm Zac. I began my pursuit of writing just last year so there is a lot I am still new to. I feel that I have made great progress in just one year, but I desire to refine my writing whether it is for essays, reports, or just for pleasure.

    Welll, hello(:
    I've never really been in a forum before! But I wanted a place where I could rebound story ideas and whatnot and this seems like such a welcoming place to do so! Can't wait to get better associated with you all!

    Smile Hello

    Good evening. (From my side of the world.)

    Call me Kate.

    I'm new here so I'll make a brief introduction. I'm 19, taking up English. I'm a literature lover especially of classics. I also fancy books of suspense, mystery and the likes. I would love to have an intellectual exchange from everyone in this site. I really welcome diversity in ideas. Also, I'm into literary criticisms and theories so if anyone wants to share thoughts about the matter, I'd gladly appreciate it.

    Enjoy reading!

    Soap-Box introduction

    AHOY! It is I, the anti-ego! The timid bearer of wisdom peering in from beyond the socio-gate!
    Foreign to any sort of realm such as online forums, I was hoping to meet some like-minded people for the sake of my faith in humanity! I mostly indulge in modernist works for I don't feel the human race has progressed; mentally, ethically, morally, at all.

    All I can say for myself is that nothing pleases me more than roaming the country roads of upstate NY in an auto or in my shoes. I fish, I read quite a lot (from Homer to Delillo I say!)

    I am a student and certainly will never cease to be so. I am finding it more and more difficult to break the barriers that exist between myself and those who need help in this country. Not in an economic sense, but in an enlightened sense. I believe we are on the brink of cultural revolution, up to the young minds of this technological age to reinstate the importance of the power and potential education holds to the development of the ingenious American citizen.
    I hope some folks on here feel the same way.

    Remember, we're responsible! Don't feed the beast!

    Largest most populous metropolitan area in the world.
    An Intimate skyline penetrated with outstanding beauty.
    Nationalities dominating a metropolis of Architecture.
    Butterflies flutter quivering songs of meadow-larks echo.
    A library terrace is just one of many beating City hearts.
    Lower Broadway precariously hidden in a great canyon.
    Dwarfed a forgotten smoking chimney bellows smoke.

    Dracula's big eyes peering at you on Washington Avenue.
    **** crowing on top of Fifth Avenue Heckscher Building.
    Indescribable sensations of a Condor or Vulture missing.
    Hoofed Locusts overgrazing in big blossoming valley's.
    Destroying most of that outstanding beauty Gods Earth.
    Real People finding quite refuge in a distant wilderness.
    Blue-Tailed Mole Skunk have now moved to sandy Polk.

    Manhattan being ruled by a murky early morning fog.
    Kill Van Kull Sound arched by a Bayonne Steel Bridge.
    Great cantilever bridges spanning over a vast east river.
    Panoramic views Madison Avenue & Fifty-second street.
    That all embracing vast unimpeded Rockefeller Centre.
    Giants hovering over a guild-ed domed World Building.
    Two hundred and sixty miles of underground railway's.
    Leaving NYC you have a Million Rules and Rhythms.
