Hi, everyone!!! My name is Hillary and I'm probably the most cheerful person in black you will ever meet (my name does mean "cheerful" afterall ). I was born on the Ides of March (you know, beware the Ides of March? Julius Caesar?) and I am currently studying to get my Bachelor's Degree in English and Literature. Incase you couldn't guess, I read avidly, especially when it comes to the classics, history, and manga (Japanese comics). My other interests include collecting dolls, stuffed animals, Gothic and Lolita fashion, the Italian Renaissance, D&D (pre-4th Edition), Disney's Sleeping Beauty, Sanrio (the makers of Hello Kitty), nearly anything Japanese, the Victorian Era, clockwork, music boxes, and much more! Most recently I've become very interested in the Steampunk genre. I love taking to people and making new friends, so feel free to drop me a line!
