Hello, My motivation to be here is that I am trying to practice my written french, it is definitely lacking. As for hobbies, I find myself interested in a number of things, but the arts has to be one of my strongest. Particularly live theater, there is something about seeing it play out in front of you that is simply wonderful. I've also a keen interest in fountain pens, albeit a small collection, but it is my hobby to write with them, I'll send notes to my friends.
