I just found this shell account that I used back in high school, including my website for 407 B.C.E. Athens that I thought I didn't have any extant copies of. I actually thought it was pretty clever. I made it when my American Government summer school teacher took pity on me and allowed me to come up with a project to satisfy the state-wide requirement that anyone with half a brain had completed successfully in 9th grade. (Long story short, I was homeschooled up until 10th grade.)

Ah, those were glorious days. I sat around in the school library/computer lab, reading The Republic and Lysistrata, using the internet, taking breaks and wandering around whenever I felt like it, and leaving early. It even tops my independent study in ancient Greek as best half-credit earned in high school.

I'm particularly proud about Cleon bitching about trolls on the Athenian forum.

It really is a shame that no one has somehow found this fine example of a webpage and linked to it.

BTW, I like the new floral print background. I usually only see your LJ on my friends page, so if it's not really new, it's new to me.

Yes, searches like "athenian forum" already have quite a few pages above yours.

Oh, I'm at home, I just didn't open Adium. Here, why don't I do that?
