The name's Emily, and I'm geeked out by history. Don't be fooled, the “Vulcan” is a Roman mythological god and now historical figure adopted by my hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. Since my fair hometown has deep (and dark) historical roots, I pay homage to dear Vulcan through the namesake on the site (and strangely enough I share his torrid and tragic romantic life). The best way to describe me are six-fold: book junkie, political lefty, ungraceful (yet full of flair), ultra-organized (some call it OCD, I call them “tendencies”), artsy, and scattered. Often a freelance designer by hobby or when the bank account starts looking grim (as well as other jobs to make the rent), I'm really an aspiring historian at heart looking for my next big deal. Dream jobs are currently either a presidential biographer or a rapper guy's girlfriend.
