About Me

I am a native Mississippian and when the time comes I will probably rest beneath the hilly soil here. Since finishing school I work full time, but not in the field I was trained for. I am still looking for my dream job. I collect antique books and vintage records. For the last six years I have been involved in Civil War Living History. I think of myself as being a progressive reenactor and hope that after every event I learn something that can help me improve my impression.

My Interests

Music, history, photography, writing, blue grass music, tatting, playing the guitar, historic cooking and period correct dances.

I'd like to meet:

Jeff & Varina Davis, Lola Montez, JEB Stuart, "Stonewall" Jackson, Col. Mosby, & Audrey Hepburn.

Music:

The Who, Green Day, The Clash, White Strips, Within Temptation, Andrew Sisters, Jimmie Rogers, Muddy Waters

Movies:

Natural Born Killers, The Alamo, Tombstone, Glory

Television:

I don't watch tv much. It eats your brains out.

Books:

My Life on Wheels and How I Came to Be There, Who Wore What, Count Von Luckner Sea Devil, Women's Work in the Civil War, Anything Can Happen, & Gone with the Wind.

Heroes:

Margaret Sanger, Eleanor Roosevelt, & most of all my parents.
