Shah Mat

I suppose there are a few things to mention, before I attempt to describe myself. 1.) You may have already been subjected to a rather biased biography from my dear Monsieur Saint-Just. Yes, I am his fiancée. It's lovely to meet you! If you'd like a proper name, call me Augusta. 2.) In address to the username, I resort to old Persian when under pressure to be clever. "Shah mat" is commonly translated as "the king is dead" and is the source of the modern chess term "checkmate". A more accurate translation would be "the king has been lost, abandoned, or otherwise mislaid", as it is not Arabic in You will learn quickly that it's hard to stop me once I get onto a tangent, but I will attempt to restrain myself! 3.) My icon. It is NOT Thomas Jefferson. It's absolutely bizarre how many times I have been asked that in the past. It looks nothing LIKE Jefferson, in my ever so humble opinion. That is my dear Maxime.

Well. I enjoy a lot of things! Poisons, classical history, the French Revolution, megalomania, the long-dead ideal of the Renaissance man, purple, Oscar Wilde, and you come to mind, in no particular order. MOSTLY OSCAR WILDE. I look forward to our interactions!
