Academics Anonymous: Study Trouble R' Us. 10 years, 3 months agoDoes anyone have a really weird specialism/major/pet subject that is really hard to describe to people, and when you do they look at you really funny? I used to be a musicologist, which was bad enough, but now I’m a politics-in-medieval-liturgy-ist and general manuscript botherer. Or, usually, ‘monks and stuff’. :D

Singlestraddlers… Ready to Mingle! 10 years, 3 months ago

I’m a music/history/language nerd and my housemate’s kittens are my (not very helpful) research assistants. I like to sing really old things and make cakes when I should be working.

Ah sorry I forgot to reply! I’m rarely in London but I’ll keep an eye out :)

It’s too bad you are so far away since I am also a music/history/language nerd!
-
That is much too bad! Particularly as cellists make me go a bit funny. What are your favourite nerdthings?
