I guess I ought to post a little about myself so those of you out there who are getting random e-mails or friends telling you about the site don’t think I’m psycho.
I’m a college student and this is my project for my composition class (pretty basic huh?).
I’m a history major seeking teachers licensure and plan to go on and get my Masters and Ph.D. in history. However, as much as I love history, I love writing even more. Writing will always be something I do and want to do no matter where I end up as far as my career is concerned.
My interest in Steampunk goes back pretty far, long before I knew there was a name for the interest. The dress, the writing, etc is all beautiful to me; perhaps I was born in the wrong time period…but I do like plumbing…
My first encounter with the term Steampunk came with RPing on Gaiaonline.com when I was either in middle school or my freshman year of high school. After that I did some mild research and realized, “Yea I know this, I like this.”
If you saw me at school or out and about I doubt you would say “Hey, that’s definitely Steam Girl.” I wouldn’t say that I’m a life-styler in the Steampunk subculture, just a person with great interest who would, if it weren’t expensive and in some cases inappropriate, wear the Victorian dress everywhere.
So why a Steampunk project for my composition class?
1 it would be so cool to be put into the Writers forum at the end of year and wear a full Steampunk costume and go on stage as my Steampunk RP character Almira Humphries…
2 to quote my boss…this campus needs more Steampunk
3 I will have more interest n this topic than most others…meaning I’ll do it…
4 its Steampunk! How awesome is that!?
So I just want to thank all of you who are reading this and showing interest. So much love for you.
