Who maintains this blog?
Hannah Elise, you average twenty-year old. She is currently a part-time student, part-time employee, and part-time rambler. She thrives under the idea that education is not about textbooks and classrooms, it is about life. She’s a self-fashioned zöedidact, though she really should blog about that term sometime.
Why “Pages Left Unturned”?
The title is pulled from the lyrics of the song “Beautiful Words” by The Afters.
We are words
On pages that we’ve left unturned
An ending no one’s ever heard
We are a story slowly unfolding
Beautiful words
The entire song is a favorite of mine, but the chorus stuck out to me especially, and I snagged it. We are a story, slowly unfolding…
Why “Aiketgate”?
One of her many penchants is for studying her roots, though she wouldn’t call herself a genealogist by any means. After a discussion with her paternal grandmother about growing up in England, she found herself researching the little town of Aiketgate. She didn’t find much information, but she did find a beautiful picture of the countryside. Having a much deeper penchant for homesteading and pastoral scenes, she clung to the name and declared that her one-day homestead would bear it, too. Thus, the blog (or at least, its URL) that serves to record her passions aptly carries the title as well.
Why is she writing about herself in the third person?
Most likely for the same reason that she occasionally speaks in a British accent, starts mud fights, waxes eloquent about potatoes, and quotes movies. She’s just plain quirky.
Why isn’t there any more information on the About page?
Because she doesn’t know what else you want to know. Ask her questions.
wow, an intelligent girl who rambles about constitutional issues, the evils of the public school system, and the dangers of blindly following a leader who is a danger to the very life of the republic?! in my city?! awesome! send me an email if you would like to talk.
LQTM. I have to admit, this comment exudes the essence of spam. How so? Flattery. And the whole “in my city” bit. Really now. I do not list my location. At the very most, I have listed my county in regards to helping organize Tea Party rallies, on other websites. Unless you’re mistaking my mention of Aiketgate to mean that I live there, which is doubtful, as Aiketgate is in Great Britain, where constitutional issues and “the very life of the republic” are of little interest. Or at least importance.
Nice try, and have a nice day.
Love you, girl.
