About the Historian
The Ignorant Historian
I, Ronnica, am a Diet Dr. Pepper junkie, would-be loner, book lover, 26-year-old single woman working in the non-profit world. I hail from Kansas, cheer crimson and cream (Go Sooners!), and make my home in Raleigh, North Carolina. I’m a reader and a writer, a friend and sister, a student and a teacher.
This blog, the Ignorant Historian, is life told by “a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.” Everything I write is partial, prejudiced, and when I get right down to it, ignorant. I write about everything from my personal faith and the application thereof to my detestation of the color orange and the misuse of sprinkles.
I chose the name “Ignorant Historian” for a few reasons. First of all, my old blog name ”Kansas Girl” had to go. While I still have roots in the state I love, I want to be fully where I am now, which is North Carolina. Second of all, I’m not quite a “girl” anymore, except in the not-a-boy sense. Since I’ve graduated with a masters degree and turned 26, I have passed the last possible threshold into adulthood.
But why “Ignorant Historian?” It’s from the subtitle to Jane Austen’s “History of England,” “by a partial, prejudiced, and ignorant historian.” That’s exactly me. I might talk a big game, but less face it, I’ve only seen so much in my yet-young life. I also feel that this title gives proper deference to my love of literature and history.
