Greetings

Hey there, everyone. I'm a new member, but I'm not exactly new to this place. I've lurked here on and off since 2002. Usually it was never for more than a couple of weeks every few months or so, but for quite a while now I've found myself lurking here almost every day, and I've decided it's time for me to become an actual posting member of TFN. I've made a couple of unsuccessful attempts at becoming an active member in the past, but for whatever reason I found that I just never posted, and I went back to lurking. This time, however, I hope things will be different, so I've decided to start fresh with a new username and put more of an effort in.

So now I'll tell you a bit more about myself. I first saw Star Wars when I was nine years old, in the summer of 1995, during an extended visit to my cousin's house. We watched the movies over a period of a few days, and I instantly became obsessed. When I had to go home, I borrowed the movies and didn't end up giving them back until I got my own copies of them for Christmas. The rest of the 90s were all about Star Wars for me. It was a good time to be a Star Wars-obsessed kid, with a ton of merchandise available thanks to the renewed popularity of the movies, and the theatrical release of the Special Editions. I remember dragging my parents to see the special edition of The Empire Strikes Back during the middle of a vacation in Florida, because I couldn't wait until we got back home to go see it. The height of my obsessive Star Wars fandom occured around the time of the release of The Phantom Menace. I'll always remember that summer, and the major hype surrounding the movie, with a great deal of fondness.

These days, I'm attending university and working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I'm strongly considering a career as a highschool teacher. My non-Star Wars interests include movies in general, rock music (particularly from the 70s, and late 60s), and video games. I've played the piano for several years, and would like to take up guitar someday (or bass guitar, if I can get some of my friends interested in starting a band just for the fun of it).

 

A very warm welcome, Han_Entwistle
Since you already know your way around, no links for you.
Though you might want to get some kind of master somewhere, because he/she will be allowed to whack you into posting.
