Sunsets lost in, Skies of hazy greys, June gloom sets in, Puts me in a daze. – "June Gloom" by The Like

I created an account on 3 January 2007, but did not start regularly editing until 2009. Even though I've been here for a few years now, I'm constantly learning about how Wikipedia works. You'll usually find me lurking around articles relating to the Australian soap operas Neighbours and Home and Away, which I'm trying to improve, expand and source with the help of Raintheone. Other areas of interest include; films, books, works of art, period dramas, Jane Austen, The Archers, Holby City, Casualty and The Drew Carey Show. I'm sure I'll edit just about anything, although I'm easily distracted from projects.

I'm always trying to finish off the many article drafts I have in my userspace! I sometimes prefer to collaborate on an article, but I find it quite rude when others edit or take content from or edit my userspace without dropping me a note first. I also pop into WP:ITN/C occasionally and undertake a bit of wikignoming. I created my first article on 10 September 2009, received my first Good Article on 30 December 2009, my first Did You Know on 23 March 2010 and my first Featured List on 30 April 2010. I also occasionally upload free images to Commons, and some of my image are currently featured in Tyrone House, Warblington Castle and Greyhound Pub.
