Been a while since I've done something like this.

Not a new meme, but a good offer to make every once in a while.

From everywhere:

"The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don’t know about you."

So… ask. Something you think you should know, but don’t.

Did you like school when you were a kid? What was your early educational experience like?

I was a teacher's pet as a kid, and I remember enjoying that place overall. Though some of my ongoing issues with self-esteem come from there; I knew I was faking stuff a lot, and early, and I was getting away with it. I went to private school starting in the sixth grade (Rutgers Prep, kind of over your direction), though I to this day am not sure why my parents switched me over. I think they were afraid of the public junior high.

I made friends with the freaks and outlaws insofar as they existed, but still somehow maintained a reputation as "the good kid". I was bright and motivated, even as I was on the social fringes. I came into kind of a shock in college because I hadn't really learned how to fail and not have someone be covering for me. But I'm...um...pretty good at failing now. :P
