Greetings! Ah, where to begin. A rather quiet and thoughtful individual. Slightly timid in social situations, but fiercely loyal to those whom he considers his friends. Most of my life revolves around the holy trinity of Reading, Writing (incl. calligraphy) and Language Learning. I'm currently doing a PhD on the scholarly reception of Old English in 19th-century Germany and Denmark. It should come as no surprise that the European Middle Ages have always fascinated me. Great fan of Tolkien. Recently converted to Catholicism. Also trying to learn Mandarin, as my girlfriend is from China.
