First and foremost, a BIG THANK YOU to Uwe for creating this forum. I have been anxiously awaiting a forum like this for quite some time (I am a member of theportabletypewriterforum-Yahoo).
I am excited to be here!
So a bit about me...
My name is Amelia and I am 32 years old. I live in Southern California.
I am currently pursuing a multiple subject teaching credential in elementary education. It's been my dream to become a teacher since I was a wee little girl and I should be finished by the end of this year!
I have a soft spot for vintage things.
Some of the treasures I own include a 1966 Ford Mustang, Califone record player, RCA Victrola portable, Super 8 projector, Canon AE-1 Program, Nash Cruiser roller skates, a 1950s chrome
dinette set, vintage owl figurines, Atari 7800, Nintendo, Apple IIe, MacPlus, old books, and of course some vintage clothes. 
TYPEWRITERS!
Again...fascination with vintage things :-)
I've actually been interested in typewriters for several years now. I do not have any close friends who are into typewriters, so I had no one to share the love with. It wasn't until 2011 that I purchased my very first typewriter. I have been hooked ever since!
Typewriters are just amazing machines.
My current "collection" includes: 
1966 Olympia SM-9 DeLuxe
1959 Keller & Knappich Princess 300
I look forward to chatting and/or meeting with fellow typewriter enthusiasts.
