I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a horribly addicted history buff and music fanatic, in some cases I combine the two, like the 1916 Victor-Victrola phonograph I recently acquired (YAY rummage sales). I play several various instruments, from drum to banjo, and I learning bagpipes (muwahahahaha). I reenact so many different time periods, my closet is about 60% period clothing, 40% normal clothes. I am not your normal person, but then again, who is? (yuppies that's who, you know who I'm talkin about) I love restoring stuff, be it a antique banjo, a phonograph, a musket or an antique dresser, it's all fun as far as I'm concerned. That's about all I can think of at the moment.

My Interests

I am a Black hawk war, civil war, and WWII reenacter. I'm also a drummer in a scottish pipe band.

Music:

I like almost all musical styles, except for rap, it's one of the few styles I don't like.
