thesummerqueen, have you posted an introduction thread? You can post a little blurb about yourself in the introductions area http://atheistforums.org/forum-11.html . This way we can all get to know you a little bit.
By the way, I'm glad to see you here.
Yeah, I'm trying... Sometimes after work and school, I load this place up and promptly pass out in front of my laptop, but...here I am! One day I'll get around to telling my "story". http://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/smile.gif
Much as I wanted to be fair to those textbooks, it's a sad fact that I was able to completely slack my way through high school history classes because they were basically just re-hashing everything I had learned from 2nd grade on, and by then I was reading outside material and knew more than the teacher did in a lot of cases. History's one area that could stand for immediate and thorough improvement in subject matter and method, but we're so PC anymore I can't see that happening.
And apparently I suck at smileys.
