about me
I'm going to art school in Florence right now.I'm getting academically trained at drawing an soon to be painter of the naturalist art...studying sort of 19C painting...
I like to make my own clothes and sew them by hand.
I do abit of Viking reenactment..
I go to medeival fest and take part for a weekend to a month at a time across Europe and on occasion in North America...
I love camping out doors...cooking over a fire...sleeping in castles...learning to sword fight...
I love archery..
I will one day travel around the world with a few sellect friends and paint..after I finnish my schooling in 2-3 years..
I'm a hurmit of sorts..
I like my alone time just as much as some time spent with 1 or 2 close friends..
I like to be antisocial with other antisocial like minded people.
I'm not much of a party person.....I'd rather sit in a corner and observe....
I like to haunt castles..
And scare people...*evil grin*
