Hello - New here

Hello (I've said that twice now), my name is Daniel. This is my first time on a forum, apart from occasionally reading discussions without creating an account. I thought I'd start so I could meet others who share my interests, since I've never really met anyone who has in person. I remember distincly that no one in my class liked dinosaurs apart from me when I was at primary - absurd!

Anyway, as it says in my description, I'm very into history, with more of an inclination to the cultural side of it (art, music, fashion literature of the time). Ocassionally I will dismiss that, as I have with my obsession with polar exploration (mainly the 19th-20th century expeditions). Pemmican and driving sleds aren't exactly the finer things in life, but there's beauty in places. I'll stop rambling now, I'm excited about being on here  :-)

  • Good morning from America, Primulaauricula!

    It’s good to have you on the forum, and I hope you continue to contribute. In terms of shared interests, I used to teach Western music history so I have a pretty solid understanding of how music impacted culture. Hector Berlioz in particular has been a special interest of mine, as he impacted the world of music way more than we usually give him credit for. Also Requiems! I love Requiems. They’re so impressive and dramatic and it’s fun to see how different composers interpret the same block of text.

    Sorry, now I’m rambling lol
