To be fair, I think most of the people here can't really be considered normal.

There's nothing wrong with that. A very good friend of mine said that it was important to embrace your inner freak.

Who's Herodotus?

They don't teach Herodotus' The Histories in school? How old are you?

Eighteen? I kind of... haven't really had time for school, lately. Maybe they do.

You should read it.

He walked around the Mediterranean and wrote down the stories people told him. Most of 'em probably weren't true, but they were good stories and all good stories are a little bit true.

It mostly covers the Greco-Persian war, but if you've ever heard of the Amazons or the Labyrinth that's where they come from.

I've heard of Amazons. It just doesn't seem like typical college-prep in California or Texas.

Just because it won't get you into college doesn't mean it's not worth knowin'. But that's not your fault, the adults who teach you should just have more imagination.

No, I know that. Believe me most of the stuff that I've learned outside of school has proved to be a lot more useful than what I learned in it.

I can believe that. I never had proper teachin' and I turned out fine.
