User:Celebrating suburbia

I wish to remain anonymous on here for the time being, but I am an architecture student living in Australia. Since about age 11/12 I've been fascinated with obscure, hard-to-find information as it relates to historically significant people places and things, and I find great joy in bringing forgotten stories back into the public eye through means of research and documentation. Wikipedia acts as a creative outlet for my fast-pace history-obsessed brain, and I like the contribution aspect too.

Eventually I will start my own blog, but for now I wish to continue making edits here in my spare time, of which I have plenty of. I'm mainly interested in local history, architecture, cinematography and biographies – but I'll happily collate research historical information on just about anything. As for my username, Celebrating Suburbia, I really have no idea what it's supposed to mean but I happen to like the way it sounds. To contact me, please leave a message on my talk page and I'll get back to you when I can. I'm online fairly often so I shouldn't take too long to reply.

• Vermont South (My original edits made this article a bit too big for Wikipedia, so i have since combined, summarised or removed a lot of my original content. I hope to do something with the former version someday)
