Dearest reader,

I'm mainly making this page so my username will no longer appear glaringly red among the rest of the blue links at the top of the page. Which sounds a little neurotic, I know, but I suppose that is pretty much me. And I will probably add a bit more some time later, mayhap.

Anyway, I am a university undergrad and a history major. I'm a very novice Wikipedian, I suppose, though I read Wikipedia all the time; I love learning useless information. I've mainly contributed to articles about the Byzantine Empire, Greek architecture, and classic rock. Which is a bit disparate, I know. Anyway, I'm running out of things to say, so I'll leave you with a list of articles I've started or edited quite a bit:

Templon -- Think you know a lot about Byzantine chancel barriers? Try this one of for size!
Spacehog -- Late '90s, now defunct, glam rock band that I used to really like.
Space Oddity -- An article about the David Bowie song and legacy. I have too much time on my hands.
Eleanor Rigby -- Yup, the Beatles song. Probably the best original Wikipedia article I've done so far.
The News & Observer -- My local paper, where I once actually had a (wimpy) job in high school.

I do believe that's it. I've started a number of stubs too, mainly about architectural terms, but I'll try not to bore you with those. Anyway, thanks for your time in reading this and such. I hope it wasn't too much of a complete waste. Drop me a line if ya want.

Sincerely,

The PNM

P.S. I'm now working on doing a lot of different articles on songs by The Beatles, using the book:

Turner, Steve. A Hard Day's Write: The Stories Behind Every Beatles Song, Harper, New York: 1994, ISBN 006095065X

It's a wonderful title, I know. Anyway, I'm trying to do one a day while I'm on break (it's Christmas as I start this). I'll list my progress here -- there's quite a lot to do. So, anyhow, so far I have done Hello Goodbye, You Won't See Me, Nowhere Man, I've Got a Feeling, I'm Only Sleeping, Michelle, What Goes On, Paperback Writer, And Your Bird Can Sing, Think For Yourself, Wait, Eleanor Rigby. Okay, I hope you enjoy it!
