A Recap

It has been QUITE some time since I updated this blog, and I am very, very sorry to say that it still only has two posts. This will be the third. As a recap of everything that has happened in a little over a year, I would like to note that I have done extensive research historically and have come to the life-altering decision to "slowly" work my way back in time, so to speak. To elaborate on this: I have decided to start my historical lifestyle with the Victorian era, and work my way back to the Renaissance. The transformation of my lifestyle has already begun; it is agonizingly slow but progress is being made. Ah, that fateful word: "progress". My readers may remember that I am fully and whole-heartedly against "progress for the sake of progress", but when that progress is for the betterment of one's life or of the lives of many, then it becomes a "necessary progress" not for its own sake, but for the betterment then it is the greatest kindness anyone can do for themselves and/or for anyone else.

My first step into this world, this Historyian lifestyle, has been the acquirement of an accurate corset (many thanks to corset-story.com). This may not be wholly correct: My first step was reading by candlelight nightly. Electric lights hurt my eyes, give me headaches, and, as previously mentioned, are viewed (by myself) as superfluous. My second/third step has been the acquirement of an oil lamp (many thanks to the local Salvation Army and whomever donated the oil lamp to them).

These have been the most recent developments in the life of the "original Historyian", and I will aim to update this blog weekly (if not daily). I sincerely hope you all keep reading and keep up with the Historyian way of life.
