I grew up on a farm, but I now live in the suburbs. It was a tough change for me, going from quiet with neighbors a mile away, to constant noise and people always nearby. I spent several summers on an archaeological dig in the Middle East, and enjoy ancient, medieval and modern history. I tend to be quiet and reserved in person, but over mail I am far more social. I work in an archives, but follow many hobbies, including genealogy, reading, stamp collecting and gardening. I am a member of a medieval re-enactment Society.
