Greetings,

I registered here last year but only posted once before today so I thought I may as well introduce myself; better late than never I suppose.

I first read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings c. 1991 and have been a member of various Tolkien forums since 1999. I am a student of Philosophy and English at the university in Wellington, New Zealand. Old English and Medieval Literature are my specialty but I also plan to branch out into Middle English and do a bit more Chaucer.

I missed out on being an extra in LOTR -- I know a few people who were and they had a blast -- but I think I might just try out for King Kong later this year

.

That's all for now,

Calypso.

By the way, anyone familiar with Homer should know the gender of my name but to avoid any confusion -- of which there has been some elsewhere -- I'd like to state that I am, in fact, a woman.

Not only Homer but common mythology, the nymph who held Odysseus and offered him eternal youth. Welcome!
