Wow, that was longer than I had originally intended, and probably nobody will read it
I read it, because I was bored and will read anything, even reviews of books I will probably never be likely to read, rather than actually force myself to do something productive when I'm done glancing over Livejournal. I like that fact about Manhattan too. That's funny. I think primary school history classes are the ones that teach happy stories about pilgrims and god-like presidents, and that's all people remember because by the time real history gets around to being taught, they've stopped paying attention. And primary school history is really about why we have certain holidays, so naturally it's simplistic. I had an amazing high school history teacher, though....
1. I sometimes repeat what I just said under my breath. A trait I long associated with just you, but then I met one of my husband's best friends, who noticably does the same thing (and it actually reminded me of you), so you're not the only one in the world, yet again!
