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.

ALWAYS REBLOG JED LOWRIE
(via idkmybffgio)
Today my favorite baseball player turns 29. One week from tomorrow, I turn 24.
Five years and two days ago, on April 15th, 2008, Jed Lowrie made his Major League debut. Two days later, he turned 24. I was 18, about to turn 19. Where did the years go?
Anyhow, for those of you who don’t know it, Jed saved my life whilst I was in college. He doesn’t know this because I still haven’t gotten up the courage to try to tell him, but he did. I wrote about it once a couple of years ago and I’m sure I’ll someday write about it again in even more detail.
Thanks, Mr. Lowrie. You’re still my favorite.
Happy Birthday to Jed Lowrie. High fives all around.

OH MY GOD I CAN DIE HAPPY
And that is all.
IS IT WRONG I HAVE THAT SCREENCAP MEMORIZED IN MY MIND?
NO BECAUSE I DO TOO
ALSO JUST BECAUSE
NEVER FORGET
I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT JED IS 29. HE WILL PERMANENTLY BE 23/24.
HOLY SHIT JED IS 29 WHAT THE FUCK IT DOESN’T FEEL LIKE HE’S OLDER THAN 24
HE DOESN’T SEEM TO AGE VERY MUCH (IT PROBABLY HELPS THAT HE STILL GIGGLES LIKE A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD IN HEALTH CLASS ALL THE TIME)
REMEMBER HIS FIRST AT-BAT. WAIT, DO YOU STILL HAVE THE SCREENCAPS FROM IT??
YES I DO. APRIL 15TH, 2008 AKA THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
RIGHT?! it doesn’t feel that way!! <33
WE ARE ALL OLD
STEPH I STILL REMEMBER YOU NERDING OUT ON CF WHEN JED MADE HIS DEBUT IN 2008
AND IT’S PAST MIDNIGHT HERE SO IT’S OFFICIALLY HIS 29TH BIRTHDAY IN MY TIME ZONE HOLY CRAP WHERE DID THAT GO
You have that one player you would go to the end of the world for. You don’t care about his mistakes and what other people talk about him, you just love him no matter what and you know you always will.
If not, you’re a liar.
Jed Carlson Lowrie.

HI JED
(via theycallmebecca)
for Steph
HELLO BEAUTIFUL I MISSED YOU
(Just for this I’m going to try to get to a Mets-Nats game to get some Gio shots now. And tell Bryce Harper that ‘Swag’ is a stupid name for a chocolate lab.)
THIS GETS REBLOGGED BECAUSE IT SAYS ‘JED LOWRIE’ IN IT
(Newer followers, allow me to explain my obsession with a frequently-injured but very intellectual shortstop with you.)
