I still hate that kid.
My brother was that kid
And I still hate him too.
Jeremy, tells us what kind of a kid were you? Quiet? Invisible? Or? Did you have a moment of recognition when you eavesdropped this tidbit?
I doubt very much that Jeremy was that kid.
Our teachers didn't have tape in school. What a different childhood I had!
Eszter: I had thought all of that stuff about Eastern European schools not having adhesives and so just making use of student mucus was all a vicious myth. It's unsettling to hear I was wrong.
Judging from JF's postings a year ago -- when he seemed to think he'd be pretty lonely in Cambridge, I think he was a shy, quiet kid, Anon 10:22. But Cambridge (Harvard?) might be working its magic on him...
I was a pretty spacey kid, who would alternate between pathological shyness and indulgence ebullience. I'm the same sort of adult, now.
Cambridge is a good fit for such.
