Hi there! I'm flaterred that you think me an important enough editor to visit my user page. Or perhaps you're thinking what is this person thinking?!?! either way, I invite you to drop me a line--I love getting messages! My main activities on Wikipedia are...
- 1. Working on the Shakespeare Wikiproject collaboration. It's one of the best ways to apply my knowledge to Wikipedia. I sort of drop out when it comes to all those nitpicky FA and GA things--I'm no good at nitpicking.
- 2.Editing random articles!
- 3.Welcoming new users. A very simple and easy way to be kind, and it gets your edit count up very fast. ;-)
Ideas for future projects (OR: things I should be doing)
One down, six to go!
- Clean up and add to Lord of the Flies literary critism section. I don't think I'll ever get around to creating a sub-page for this purpose. Some day, when I have a lot of time on my hands, I think I'll finally finish my notes!
Help with expansion of themes section in Hamlet .Done
- Start Beatrice (Shakespeare) article.
- Bring Ariel (Shakespeare) to GA status.
- Expand Sonnet 36.
- Bring Elizabeth Keckly to GA status.
- Help bring A Midsummer Night's Dream to GA status.
Userboxen
I am usually I very Zen person. My decorating style might be described as "less is more" (with the exception of lime green paint). However, when it comes to userboxen, I say...more is more!! Ps. Thanks to D.M.N. for fixing my userboxen!!

Today's motto...
Limitless knowledge at the click of a mouse.
Horatius Cocles was an officer in the army of the early Roman Republic who famously defended the Pons Sublicius from the invading army of Etruscan king Lars Porsena of Clusium in the late 6th century BC, during the war between Rome and Clusium. By defending the narrow end of the bridge, he and his companions were able to hold off the attacking army long enough to allow other Romans to destroy the bridge behind him, blocking the Etruscans' advance and saving the city. This fanciful engraving of Cocles was produced in 1586 by the German-born Dutch printmaker Hendrick Goltzius. The full-length portrait shows him holding a raised sword in his right hand and a shield in his left. In the lower right of the background, Cocles takes on an army by himself.Engraving credit: Hendrick Goltzius
