Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome. My name is Amara and I am a nerdy anglophile. I am a very pleasant and kind individual who’s just trying to make it through the day. My time is mainly taken up by watching TV and gazing lustfully at pictures of the United Kingdom, with a good measure of book reading and film watching thrown in. I am Canadian born and raised, but I’m slowly assimilating myself into British culture, and being to London has convinced me that that is where I truly belong. I absolutely adore European history and try to learn as much about is as I can. I’ll probably end up being a librarian. I’m gradually becoming more comfortable with who I am and how to get where I want in life.
