I was a good student, but especially in elementary school, all my teachers gave me extra work or worksheets/books to work ahead (they offered to skip me a couple of grades, but my mom said no, keep me with the kids my age, which I think was the right decision). I wonder if I got the work/work ahead stuff because I was bugging the teacher. I never acted out in class, but I remember always going to the teacher's desk for very minor stuff.

I love to cuss. in the real world (outside PC), I do cuss a hell of a lot (and I have my favorite cuss words, too!). I even do it on PC, not to an extreme, but I do do it and know I'm doing it (I just don't give a monkeys)
I do the cussing too, but usually only when I'm alone, sometimes if just H is around. I try not to do it around my daughter, and so far, she is good about not cussing, but she's not a teenager yet or in junior high or high school. I do it a lot driving, and it's not always about the crazy driver that caused me to slam on my brakes or something, the root of it is often something else.
