Hail, fellow bookworms, I'm new :)

Unread post

Hi everyone,

I'll give a little intro to myself,
My name is Maria, I live in Glendale, Arizona aka an amazingly dry hot dessert which someday i will leave.
I like drawing, playing my guitar, writing short stories and poetry, and I LOVE reading.
Some of my favorite books are: The Lord of the Rings (but mostly because of the movies, and yes i know that's Tolkien sacrilege), I love everything Steinbeck ever wrote, I like most of Stephen Kings books but his early stuff more than anything, I've been know to read teen fiction because i like getting mad at things i can't control, haha.
That's me in a nutshell. :D

I would say, yes, jump right in. It would not be considered rude here at all.

That would seem odd to me for a publicly available forum.

I've been playing for about 5 years, I play mostly more folk on my classical these days. But I do like playing Jimi Hendrix on my Gibson, or attempting it at least, haha.

Oh, I was just wondering if there was some kind of etiquette to the forum thing, I'm pretty new too, but there was this place I went to one time, were it wasn't ok to just jump into a convo, but this place is really nice.

Hope to see ya round the boards! :)
