somewhere different now - If I could travel back in time? That’s a no...

Hey there! I'm Eli. I'm a Vermonter transplanted to Oberlin, Ohio, where I study archaeology, classics, and chemistry.

I originally hopped on Tumblr to document my experience studying in London in fall 2010. I also like mountains, co-ops, old things, artful books, queer politics, sexual health, and gender non-normativity, so there's lots of that stuff here too.

This is my for-public-consumption blog. If you want the personal stuff, feel free to hit me up on LiveJournal (e-mail me to get my username). I'm also on Twitter as linearbbq.

Quote reblogged from Oberlin College with 35 notes

If I could travel back in time? That’s a no brainer. I’d go back to the times of the rocks I’ve studied to see if I was right or not.

Bruce Simonson is single-handedly saving my honors project from my complete geological incompetence. I run into his office, flailing wildly, going “Bruce! These thin sections are so complicated!”, and he says, “Yeah! Isn’t it great?!” Love that man.
