Aside from being an avid BIONICLE fan, I've many other interests. Amongst are several academic interests, including history (especially English history, especially the "Dark Ages"), palaeontology (mostly Mesozoic), and linguistics (especially historical linguistics and dialectology).<br /><br />I am a devoted Catholic.<br /><br />I'm currently a Life Scout and going for Eagle. I'm currently the troop Chaplain's Aide and my patrol's Assistant Patrol Leader.<br /><br />I'm a huge fan of Tolkien's books, my favorite being The Silmarillion.<br /><br />I'm certainly a Trekkie.<br /><br />I am a firm supporter of the theory of evolution.
