Hello from Melbourne, Australia

Hi everyone.
I'm a 29yo male from Melbourne. I learned the rules back in early 2011 but for some reason soon lost motivation. Towards the end of last year I picked the game up again and soon found myself hooked. Since then I've been studying a bit and hanging around on Sensei's Library.
As far as playing strength goes I describe myself as "abysmal", with a vague hope of graduating to "terrible". My knowledge of joseki is nonexistent, I don't know how to judge which plays are biggest in the middle game, I'm afraid of fights, and I find the opening vague and unforgiving. Hopefully I am not the only person who has had these problems as a beginner, and that I can overcome them with practice and study.
Anyway, good to be here.
