Skywalker Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi everyone, I've been discussing things on this forum for a while, but I've never formally introduced myself. Time to remedy that. I'm a college student (soon to be a graduate student) from New Jersey, with interests in music, literature, politics and philosophy. My introduction to Ayn Rand came in my last year of High school when I read the Fountainhead to enter ARI's essay contest (in which I achieved second place out of many applicants). Since then I have, over a large period of time, read most of her other material, fiction and non. While I am not an Objectivist, I am looking to learn more about Ayn Rand's ideas. As an English major, I am particularly interested in her uses of philosophical language and aesthetic theories. My other area of study was music, with my recent work focusing on the Romantic period (seen as beginning w/Beethoven's 9th, and ending somewhere between Tchaikovsky and Mahler), and I am very interested in discussing the music of these Romantic composers, which I love, with people on this board.

Atlas51184 Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi! Do you mind disclosing where you are from in New Jersey? I'm from south Jersey, Haddonfield to be exact. It's near Cherry Hill and Camden, only a short drive from Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Monmouth county, right off sandy hook. I've been down to that area, Cherry Hill is nice, but it's about an hour and a half from here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
