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.
sad but true fact about me: I reblog pictures of the McCartneys only for Martha sometimes
REBLOGGING FOR MARTHA THE SHEEPDOG
(via nevillegonnagiveyouup)
I get really excited every time this commercial airs because I have two Old English Sheepdogs and you just don’t see the breed that much on TV anymore.
Which sucks, because they’re an incredible breed.
This is officially the best thing I have ever seen on Tumblr.

Westminster Kennel Club 2013 Group Winners:
Bugaboo’s Picture Perfect “Swagger”
Old English Sheepdog
Group First - Herding
Swagger is a surprise contender for this year’s top prize. He’s a 20 month old dog who has not yet reached his champion title but blew away other champions and even some grand champions to take Breed and Group First. Swagger has made quite an entrance to the show world, previously taking Best In Show at Buckthorn Kennel Club, which allowed him to move on to Westminster. It’s an amazing start for a class dog, but it shouldn’t be a surprise considering his pedigree—his parents are both multiple Best In Show winners, CH Bugaboo Bog Shot and CH Bugaboo’s Georgie Girl. Good luck to Swagger as the underdog going against the grand champions for Best In Show at WKC!

So I hope you’re all convinced that you should own a sheepie now, too. Better yet, be like me and get more than one!
And let’s continue our celebration of coming in second overall with a photo of Louise in my brother’s ManUtd. hat!
The breed that lives with me just came in second overall at Westminster! To celebrate, here’s Barnaby looking very large.
Barnaby and Louise playing in the snow.
It’s Barnaby and Louise!
