Bio:

"Though Farmer Troutham had just hurt him, he was a boy who could not himself bear to hurt anything. He had never brought home a nest of young birds without lying awake in misery half the night after, and often reinstating them and the nest in their original place the next morning. He could scarcely bear to see trees cut down or lopped, from a fancy that it hurt them; and late pruning, when the sap was up and the tree bled profusely, had been a positive grief to him in his infancy. This weakness of character, as it may be called, suggested that he was the sort of man who was born to ache a good deal before the fall of the curtain upon his unnecessary life should signify that all was well with him again. He carefully picked his way on tiptoe among the earthworms, without killing a single one."

My name is Victoria, and I feel out of place in this century and in this country. I can't do much about changing the year, but I'm escaping to Yorkshire my junior year. I'll be going either there or Durham after I graduate and never coming back. I hope. I'm a current undergrad but prospective PhD in 19th and 20th century English literature. I own alot of Modrian-print things, although he's far from my favourite artist. I teach myself Northern accents, conduct my own afternoon tea service, play Clue bymyself, and I still hate Barack Obama.

My favourite fictional characters are Jude Fawley, Philip Carey and Blanche duBois. This speaks miles on my character.
