You guys are bunch of cynical ****s.
I'm Jim, I'm 45. I was born in Kansas City but grew up in Maryland; I moved out to Indianapolis about a year ago for work, but the job hasn't worked out as well as I've hoped, so I'm applying for different jobs and may move again soon.
My day job is digital printing, but my degree is in History with a focus on Medieval Europe. In about a month, if everything goes well and the financing comes through, I'll be starting my MA program in Military History. I write a semi-regular article on history at
www.historynuggets.com - at first it was daily, then semi-weekly, then whenever I could - but I've been on hiatus for a couple of months now while I get everything straight with work and getting set up for school; I'm hoping to start it up again soon. I've been into swordfighting and medieval reenactment and living history since I was 15, but I'm not able to do it as much as before because of age and aggravating injuries.
No kids, no pets, straight, single, raised Unitarian but now a non-denominational Christian disillusioned with church, registered Democrat but functionally middle-of-the-road, white with lineage traceable back to European royalty, wear a mustache, drive a Magnum.
That's about it. Nice to meetcha!
