Hello, I’m Scott, the other half of this blog and relationship. Kendra already talked about the journey of getting here and what this blog is all about so I guess all that’s really left to me is to tell you a bit about myself.
A Celt at heart, I am often inspired by stories about and from ancient civilizations of all kind. I am a gamer, I’ve played just about ever RPG out there (most recently I’ve been playing Rouge Galaxy on the PS2 and Morrowind on PC).
Most of my life is lived in a fantasy world in my head split between writing novels (or short stories) and reading myths . I am obsessed with zombies and ghosts. The former can’t come along soon enough and the latter is already here, but never seems near to me. Everyone I know seems to have ghost stories but I have yet to experience one. It’s all very rude.
I’ve written dozens of partial stories and imagined hundreds of others. I just never finish them. (An aside from Kendra – Shut up and write your damn story! To the world: I read a LOT of books and am also a writer. I am in love with the stories Scott has created and would very much like to beat up on him until he finishes them and publishes them so the rest of the world can be in love with them too. You all should team up with me and keep on him about it, deal?/aside)
I’ve tried my hand at blogging before but have never fully committed. My personal blog, Everything Riding on the Turn of a Card, is mainly about Tarot and I’m working on posting more often on it.
I would give anything to be able to travel the world endlessly. I would brave tyrannical rulers, dangerous beasts, harsh environments…anything just to see everything there is to be seen.
Gamer, writer, drafter, archaeologist, travel journalist, ghost hunter, zombie killer. Some are dreams, others reality. All some small portion of me – but the best so far is fiance. My woman is the best there is. Crazy, stubborn and beautiful. She keeps me on track and forces me to achieve some small way to me dreams. Without her, my life would be no where near as fulfilled.
As far as this blog, I know well I’ll keep up better as much pain and suffering awaits me otherwise. I’ll probably post a good bit about the lore and myths of various places and civilizations delving also into the spiritual roots of the area including hauntings and local religions. Not to limit myself though, I could very well do anything in the end.

Great start Scott – I didn’t know you were a Celtic lover. I tangentially studied The Mabinogion as part of my first degree (I specialized in Medieval Lit). Very very cool stuff. Anyway, I look forward to hearing more from you.

I may only be a quarter Scottish, but that’s how I was raised. I’ve actually had the entire Irish Mythological Cycle recited to me by practicing druids. Someday I hope to join either OBOD or ADF, once I’ve chosen which feels more right for me. Celticism if such a word exists runs though my veins.

It’s good to see you and Kendra collaborating on something you love, that’s more readily accessible than your life together. I have been wanting to keep apprised on the adventures you two have, since I know the stories will be grand – and that you are both having the fun you deserve.
And, I must again say – as I know I’ve said it to you before – the two of you are adorable together.

Adorable, eh? You should see our blog meetings – mostly she just yells at me for not being an active enough participant. >_>
Meh, dunno about grand stories, at least not yet, although I am not above embellishment… “Don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story” after all…

Morrowind FTW dude! Are you waiting on tenterhooks for Skyrim to descend (I’m all about the Nords…)? From the fact that my comment just jumped in there with that info, I’m guessing that you can tell I am!
It is so cool of you both to do this blog – I am really looking forward to following it.

But of course, I can’t wait for the next game in the series to come out, I tend to play Bretens or some variety of elf, but I have had a couple fun barbarian Nords :p I wonder if they’ll change much with this new one?
Thank you for visiting, btw!
