G'day mate, and welcome to Australia (specifically Tasmania, specifically Hobart). I don't know much about Tasmania, apart from its animal fame, as home of the eponymous Tasmanian devil, and the sadly extinct Tasmanian wolf. I always think Tasmania sounds a little bit backwater - apologies to residents. But I can imagine literally red-necked people in battered straw hats playing the fiddle morosely. Still, I'm very happy to have our first hit from Oceania - it bodes very well indeed. At the moment, re: a conversation with girlfriend/partner I am awaiting the first ever hit from Belgium. Speficially Bruges. We have decided to live there at some point, so a visitor from that lovely city would be very welcome. Get in touch you Flemish!

"The circle of human knowledge, illuminated by the pale, cold light of reason, is so infinitesimally small, the dark regions of human ignorance which lie beyond that luminous ring so immeasurably vast, that imagination is feign to step up to the borderline and send the warm, richly colored beams of her fairy lantern streaming out into the darkness ; and so, peering into the gloom, she is apt to mistake the shadowy reflections of her own figure for real beings moving in the abyss.

I'm a 23 year-old student in London Cambridge London, studying English Literature Law. It's hard to really think of anything truly personal I can put here that might give you some idea of who I am, so I will just tell you that my favourite Shakespeare play is Richard II, my favourite chocolate bar is Snickers, and I have a bit of a thing for instant coffee, especially if someone else makes it for me.

I'm interested in Renaissance Literature, Higher Education policy, and libraries.
I'm completely in love with a Scottish girl.
