What was...

1. ...your first grade teacher's name?

I had two of them. One was named Mrs. Zilski and she was never around because she was having an affair with the principal, whom she later married. She was technically the morning teacher. The other one was Mrs. P. Wilson, who hated all kids who were of above average intelligence because her son had Down's Syndrome. She tried to keep half the class back because she said we were "emotionally retarded". Most of the kids in class were terrified of her.

I remember one time wetting my pants because, even though I had my hand up, she refused to call on me to let me use the bathroom and when it happened, not only did she ridicule me, but she encouraged the other kids to do it as well. I was not the only one this happened to.

2. ...your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?

I can't remember exactly what it was called, but it was the series where they sort of condensed books into cartoons and showed them. My favourite one was about a dragon called Heart's Blood. There's a book about it, as well. That cartoon is probably the number one reason I love dragons so much and now have a tattoo that means dragon.

I want more tattoos.

3. ...the name of your very first best friend?

Dawn. She's still my best friend. In fact, after I wake up a little more and eat lunch, I'm going to call her.

4. ...your favorite breakfast cereal?

To eat with milk is probably corn or bran flakes. To eat plain is either Cocoa Krispies or Honey Nut Cheerios.

5. ...your favorite thing to do after school?

have sex or take a nap, depending on after whose school we're talking about.
