Small fish. Big Pond. Big, more advanced and educated pond. Small uneducated backwards country bumpkin fish.

I guess I should have finished school.

Not that it would have done me any good. I mean sure I'll know all about the history of my world and could recite my ancestry backwards and forwards. But I still wouldn't know a damn thing about cells. Or electricity. Or algebra. Science in general. Computers. How to drive a car. Illnesses- diseases- Gravity. TV.

I can shoe a horse. Fix a wagon wheel. I know how to use a crossbow and long bow. Not a gun. If pressed I could make a decent sword. I can hunt game. Skin a deer. I can even fight with a sword. In a combat situation.

I know which plants are poisonous and which'll give you the runs and other's that'll help with a wound. At least at home. Don't know a damn about chemistry.

Long words make me run to the dictionary. Which I have enough problems using cause I have problems reading.

Apparently not being exposed to something makes you ignorant.

It's not my fault my world hasn't moved past the fucking iron age!

It's not like I can wave a wand or something and make it happen. I'm not a god. Despite my powers, I'm not a god.

I don't want to be a god.

I just want to understand stuff.

I like understanding stuff. I like knowing stuff. I don't like feeling stupid. But then again, who does?

I have to admit, I did live in a city, I was just a bit of a deliquent when it came to school. I didn't have to hunt for a living. At least not until I was older and we went to live with my Grandfather. We just don't really have the technology.

Work and friends has helped a lot with understanding and adapting to stuff. Mostly adapting really. Lot of the stuff is just really ... um... wow.

The pyschologist at work says I've got that disability where you mix up the letters and stuff? Dyslexia?
