My name is Elizabeth and I'm 25 years old. I live in Louisville, KY with my boyfriend of four years. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. While in college, I did two minors, on in English with a concentration in Literature and the other in Medieval Studies. Currently, I work with toddlers as a teacher in a daycare. I am also going back to school to work towards my Bachelor's degree in Early Elementary Education. I hope to be an elementary school teacher sometime in the future. I would especially like to teacher 2nd or 3rd graders.

I have a wide variety of interests that include: old cemeteries, faeries and other mythical figures, Celtic mythology as well as mythology in general, the paranormal, vampires, history (especially ancient history), the Medieval era, the Renaissance, forensics, the Victorian era, Day of the Dead, Asian cultures and customs, fashion (especially high fashion and Japanese street fashion), art (primarily Ancient-Renaissance art and Surrealism), gothic style architecture, world religions, archaeology, astronomy, Medieval medical practices, anthropology, learning many new languages, and much more.

I am an avid reader and own somewhere in the neighborhood of 1500 books. Approximately 1000 of those belong to me and were brought with me when I moved in with my boyfriend. He supplied the other 500. He is also an avid reader though we both enjoy reading different things. He prefers to read science, mathematics, and philosophy based books whereas I prefer true crime, novels (especially horror, sci-fi, and fantasy), manga/graphic novels, history books, poetry, and much more. All told, we own books spanning a wide range of topics and in several different languages (outside of English, these include German, French, Russian, Latin, Spanish, and Japanese).

I look forward to getting to know people here and taking part in discussions.
