A short bio about yourself.

I'm 25, I live in Galveston Texas, USA. I will eventually get my BA in History. I have two brothers (one who reads WoT). I've been with my boyfriend for four years, and he thinks most of what I do WoT-wise is silly, but he doesn't mind too much. I like to craft and travel and read. Hot tea, spaghetti or a nice medium rare steak will always make the perfect dinner :P
