No, a rock star from Japan named Gackt.

Thanks, everyone, for the greeting. Ross: I'm really interested in early American history, though I do enjoy European history. However, the entire period of the Revolution is one of the few aspects in history that I am genuinely moved by. I don't even have to explain, if you understand the feeling of reading about Washington. These people were literally heroes among men. As for teaching, I have considered it. I've also considered going into law, specifically constitutional law. However, of course, I'm not sure yet - I'm only a sophmore, and I have barely finished my general education - so as of now, the plan is - whatever I do, teach. I would also like to write, but I really want to write fiction. Historical fiction would be fun, but only in terms of the setting; I could never have, say, Alexander Hamilton as a character. However, I do not yet know entirely what I want to do; there are a lot of options. Oh, and I'm not minoring in anything, but I considered philosophy. Chris: On all of the fundamentals, I had a long time before thought the way Rand did, but she introduced me to the specifics. She certainly helped me in terms of writing, and more specifically it was nice to read about her and hear that she did the same thing in the university that I want to do. As for your friend's comment, I would need more information.

Hello. I figured I should finally get around to posting on here, because I've been reading the forum for awhile, along with the reading I did at SOLO HQ before I decided to leave in the midst of all of the, uh, occurrences. I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Joshua, and I am a twenty-year-old who is currently going to college for a degree in history. I first read The Fountainhead at age fifteen, and since then have really been a firm supporter of Objectivism. Of course, since then, I've gone through a microcosm of what we all go through when we get into it. I've been moved by all the sort of "required reading", made friends, lost friends, discovered the passion for living, discovered the passion for moralizing, discovered the passion for being myself. I've experienced all of the usual memories and experiences that anyone passionate for Objectivism goes through, these days. I really am happy to find a place that is open to ideas. I hope to post a bit more than merely lingering, though, as I have for more than a few years at this place and others.
