| Posted By : warriorchick85 - 3/17/2008 11:25 AM | My love of poetry and Vikings was what got me here in the first place. 
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.  (Something green for you.)

| Posted By : H.P. Lovesauce - 3/17/2008 12:05 PM | Welcome! You must really love them--even the Cheese League doesn't start 'til August...
Oh, wait. Wrong Vikings.
Good to have you here. |
| Posted By : RHFay - 3/17/2008 12:07 PM | 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.)

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!

| Posted By : Dark Agnes - 3/17/2008 4:59 PM | 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? |

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.

I thought it was pretty neat.  Sounds like a very interesting class! Good luck with it.

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 |

| Posted By : Jared Evers - 3/18/2008 7:52 PM | | 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. |
| Posted By : Steven the Git - 3/19/2008 7:39 PM | Hi and welcome. Love my fantasy too and have written a few Norse-ish tales. Mind you, we didn't like them round here, when Alfred gave them a cheeky slap!
