I am a collegian, and would-be historian. I am a sort-of a homebody who greatly enjoys reading, and collecting books as well, especially first-editions and signed copies. I also collect stamps, amongst other things, and I have some vinyl records, too! Apart from a turntable and a typewriter, I have sticks of sealing wax and a variety of nibs for my dip pens. All in all, I might have been born in the wrong century... Speaking of centuries, one of my hobbies for the past years has been genealogy, a high and noble thing which does require loads of patience...
