...though I don't know what good it will do to you.
In a sense, you could say I used to be a government official, thought it was mostly just in legal sense. I've also worked for my state, but then so do the guys who clean the streets. ;) As for knowledge. I have some expertise in WW2 and related matters, which include the Middle East. Have studied history for most of my life, specializing in the above. Have taught said in high school.
Yet more than any studies, or positions, or jobs, I've gained my knowledge simply from a deep love and fascination with the subject. (but I just prefer to say that I'm not totally clueless, ie. a layperson who has read a couple articles on the subject)
I speak six languages plus understand a handful more because they are so closely related, some well, some not so well. Have been a gamer as well for most of my life. I am an ektomorph, and will sic my cat at you if you ask more questions about me...buy my autobiography in 2023 (it will be called "life through nicotine stained glasses"). :P
Since the thread has gone by the wayside in a major major way, feel free to post your lifestories in nutshells as well, I'm actually curious. Besides, I look a schmuck for posting this, and I would look a schmuck for not posting as well; it's only fair same happens to you. ;)
