  2. #introduction INCOMING

    Hi, I’m Sheila.

    I’m an #EdithWharton impersonator (aka English professor), paid funeral attendee (aka #bagpiper), all-purpose nuisance (aka #accordion player) and general layabout (aka #writer) interested in a whole mess of things including #C19Studies #americanlit #bookhistory #cnf #mediatheory etc etc etc

    Really bad at this social media stuff and getting worse every day. Pleased to meet you.

I like the book #MobyDick by #HermanMelville. I also like to #fish. I like to, uh, toot about amateur #dentistry in #literature and Moby-Dick. And #fishing. I especially like to #fish for a #SpecificFish that I #hate. It's a long story!! imho it's so normal to #hate a fish bc they act with #premeditated #malice
