(no subject)

[visionshadows]

I'm done for now. I can't write anymore. I can't diagram anymore. I can't attempt to make up answers to the essay questions when I'm really, really unfamiliar with the subject matter. See, I love history, I really do. Only, I love wars. Recent wars. Civil War on pretty much. That's the stuff that interests me. And yes, I understand how all of this plays a part in what happens afterwards. I just can't stand it. The Reformation bores me. I don't care much about the Age of Expansion. The Middle Ages make me want to take a nap. But hand me a book on WWII and I'm happy as a clam. Or you know, go back a few thousand years and let me play in Egypt and that area and I'm happy as well. Or Jewish history. Love that stuff.

Part of the reason I think I have so many problems with European history is because of studying Jewish history so much. The repeated persecution, being driven from our homes, the blame placed on the Jews for just about everything - it colours my view of Christianity during these time periods so much that I can't seem to get past that block and analyze the material. This is why I could never be a historian. I am way too biased.

In other words, I'm done for now. I'm going to work a bit on my SS story interspersed with some crazy!daniel stuff, continue reading Curiousity Killed the Colonel by Pepe, and play with Dayse. Oh, and continue to listen to pop music and various other musical forms.
