User:WhiteDragon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, it's me. WhiteDragon. Named after the book The White Dragon (ISBN 0345341678) in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey. I picked this name because I am considered white (I definitely have the fair skin, and the stereotypical lack of rhythm), and because my Chinese Zodiac symbol is a dragon. Also because I really liked the book :-)
