I love history and rare books. It is one of the major reasons that I am a flight attendant. I get to fly all over Europe, especially England and am able to see the places that I read about and haunt the antique bookshops. I love museums, especially the sex museums, which carry the items that the normal museums won’t. I have been to the one in New York and the one in Amsterdam. I have to say I liked the New York museum better because it had a gift shop with very cool t-shirts. I’m probably not the best person to go to a museum with either because I can’t keep my hands to myself – I am always trying to touch things that I am not suppose to (smile). I am obsessed with 19th century social history, especially life in London. I find the darker side of the human spirit fascinating; there was a quote by a lady back in 1700s that stated something to the fact that the more proper society is on the outside the more deviant they are behind closed doors. How true was that in the Victorian era? All you have to read is a few memoirs that were once banned such as My Secret Life by Walter to see how deviant it truly was. Or pick up any Victorian newspaper and you will find advertisements for corporal punishment. However fascinating the Victorian period is to me, I still find myself going back to the Regency period – perhaps because of my interest in people like Lord Byron, Caroline Lamb, etc. I still think there has been to major crimes to literary history and that was the burning of Lord Byron’s memoirs and also the burning of the Earl of Rochester’s memoirs (he was played by Johnny Depp in Libertine). When I am not ensconced in historic tomes or trekking around museums or manor houses (since I am attempting to write a book about Regency London), I am home taking care of my animals. I have 2 cats, 6 semi-aquatic turtles, and 2 tortoises. I’ll have the turtles and tortoises for the rest of my life so if I ever decide to marry again (which is doubtful) they will definitely have to like reptiles. I don’t have time for people that treat animals poorly or think that they are pieces of property and not living, feeling creatures, which also means I have no interest in people that hunt. I also can laugh at myself and my silliness, so I can’t tolerate people who take themselves too seriously. Life is about having fun and having no regrets so stop reading this and go out and have some fun – perhaps if I am in your neighborhood we can have some fun together (smile).
