Steph is a 2011 graduate of Gettysburg College (majored in history, minored in Civil War Era studies) and current graduate student at Pratt Institute (library science with a focus in Archival Studies) who loves baseball, anime, writing, drawing, Rogue Squadron, cars (and Top Gear), comedy (especially its history and, naturally, the British variety) and her cats and Old English Sheepdogs. Fond of Stanford even though she doesn't go there. Has Asperger's syndrome, a mild form of autism. Created the 30-Day Baseball Meme. One time she made a music video about Buster Keaton's love affair with trains. Since she's an archivist-in-training, she often preserves things on her own. See her scans here.
Author of the webcomic The Historians, the excuse to draw dead comedians called Comedian Heaven, and Londinium, a novel in the making set in 1863 London. Scriptwriter for the webcomic Home By Now, a story about time travel, music, history and general hijinks (meet the incredible artist here!).
Very occasionally posts about herself when she's not posting about baseball, dead people, Top Gear or her pets.
I was blindsided.
I was driving to get ice cream (which I never ended up getting). I was in the wrong lane, so I stopped the car and got ready to turn. I started to turn and out of nowhere Chase was smashed into by a Land Rover. Amazingly, Chase still drove fine - the damage is to the driver’s side door, which is smashed in. I was showered with window glass, but I only got two small cuts, one on my right hand and another on my right arm. Neither had glass in it. There’s still carbon fiber all over my arms, though.
I think Chase is going to be totaled from this hit, but if he is, he went out saving my life twice within one year.
Credit also goes once again to Top Gear because I always drive in a racing posture, which helps me absorb hits if something happens to me. I learned that posture from watching Top Gear every Monday. I can’t believe those three lunatics have saved my life twice now. I should probably write to them and let them know that they’re keeping me alive when I’m on the road and people drive dangerously.
