 My love of poetry and Vikings was what got me here in the first place. turn
 
 My name's Sarah, I'm 22, I'm listening to Enya right now, and I love fantasy. Writing, reading, and school pretty miuch take up my life. I'm a full-time college student, as well as a homeschooling teacher. Nice to be here! Hope you all are having a great St. Patrick's Day. hop (Something green for you.)

 The world is more than we know.

Welcome! You must really love them--even the Cheese League doesn't start 'til August...

Oh, wait. Wrong Vikings.

Good to have you here.

Ooo, Enya.  I find Enya's enchanting music to be wonderful background music when composing poetry or drawing Viking warriors (or anything else for that matter).  Really.  (Music that's too loud makes my eyes go crazy and I can't focus.)

Hello, Sarah!  Welcome to SFReader! :-)

Welcome aboard Sarah.
I have fantasies about Enya as well.
I'm listening to . . . oops! Got confused again.
No Enya on this puter, but welcome to the forums! Always good to have young blood in the party . . .
Not that any of us is . . . not young!

Read me soon in The Return of the Sword!

Welcome to the forums, Sarah :)

Everyone else, slide over to the Flashing Sword forum and read the 'more on the very cool thing' thread. Sarah's got a very cool poem in our upcoming special summer issue :)

Never meddle in the affairs of a wizard unless you are soggy and hard to light!

Welcome aboard!!!

A tiny bit of Enya on this machine (Carribean Blue and Far and Away, I think).

I like Vikings too, although what I write about them tends to be ridiculous....

Glad to have you here!

Greetings Sarah!

Like you, I just recently joind this forum. It's great to see another woman who enjoys Enya. She's been a favorite of mine since I heard one of her songs used in the series "Northern Exposure". Btw, do you also enjoy the group she used to be with, Clannad?

Sorry to double-post, but all this talk of Enya makes me want to push her first album 'The Celts' and Clannad's (her sister's band) 'Legend' and 'Macalla'-- easily three of the best modern Celtic albums ever recorded.

It's good to have you here. Sounds like you keep pretty busy, but I hope you'll find time to post when you can.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Hi Sarah, welcome on board.

I live in Viking land, and one of the biggest constructions they created is nearby (the Dannevirke). They really are an interesting people.

Glad you joined! :-)

Wow, how cool is that? Now I'm an online college student, full-time. I'm taking classes from American Military University, even though I'm not military. They have a modern epic fantasy class that I'm taking, and it's pretty cool.

Welcome Warriorchick!
Out of curiosity, have you read the two viking poems written by Robert E. Howard?

You say God's spark has kindled my eye,
As the sun-rise reddens the east;
Into your beards I roar the lie-
'Tis the gleam of the stalking beast.
Robert E. Howard

Hello there, and nice to meet you! I just watched a History Channel show about vikings today. Which was good, because there's precious little on TV at 8 in the morning.
