"Art is a displaced sort of theology. Every aesthetic term is a displaced theological one." - Terry Eagleton

A léitheoir, a chara,

My name is Michelle Antoinette. I'm an Irish student of History and Classics, and I'm interested in late antiquity and the early mediaeval period in particular.

I sing in a church choir (the Schola Cantorum of St. Nicholas's, Galway), and I play a little violin/fiddle too. I'd like to improve my understanding of music theory, as at the moment, I only know the very basics. I like traditional music and folk music from all cultures.

My interests other than history and music include religion, languages, and fiction reading. My native language is English, and I also speak Irish Gaelic fluently (so I can unerstand Scots and Manx Gaelic too). I am competant in French, and I'm learning Latin and Russian, though both at a beginner level. Wishlist languages include Chinese, German, Bulgarian, Arabic, and Turkish, maybe Finnish too.

As far as theology goes, I don't know anything, but I am able to paste a hyperlink, so here, this is what I'm reading currently.

If you'd like to check out some favourite books of mine, you can find me on GoodReads, where my username is ailichi, and/or on Tumblr (God help me), where I go by walhiska.

Thanks for reading and have a nice day!
