a quiet little historian, spending years working on a specialist study, producing just one book or two. along the way a few things will be published. i want to be a historian the passionate (geeky? yes) kids in school get excited about when they see me being interviewed on tv for some insanely interesting historical documentary, as i did with some of my most favourite historians. oh, i aim too high. really? i'm going to be a historian, producing something wonderful and hopefully worthy or being published at the end of it all. i'll fill my time with teaching and libraries, reading and writing. it'll be grand.
