how would you describe the family you grew up with?

- neglectful and emotionally abusive mother, absent father

did you have your own room as a child?

- not until I was 8 years old

did you grow up in a house, flat, or someplace else?

did you have a best friend?

- the only best friend I've had was year I was 8. I still miss the friendship.

Mrs Yardly was my grade one teacher - and she was terrifying. She would slap children and hit them with her ruler or yard stick. I cried and cried at night in fear. I cried and cried because she bullied a pair of twins mercilessly. Little Bobby and Kenny were foster children and wore hand me down clothing and didn't have much in the way of food to eat. They lead a miserable life constantly in fear of being this woman's target. Oh what a pure joy grade one was.)

How would you describe the family you grew up with?

Somewhat unusual, though I was raised well. My parents highly valued freedom and liberty, and I was often allowed to play unsupervised around the neighborhood, even from a very young age. I additionally spent a large portion of my childhood on my own in my room, though it was mostly due to my introverted personality.

Did you have your own room as a child?

Yes.

Did you grow up in a house, flat, or someplace else?

A two story house, though we eventually moved out once I was in high school.

Do you know what time you were born?


Approximately 8:00 AM.

As a child, what was your favorite:

Toy: PlayStation 2.

Food: Macaroni and cheese, though I am not overly fond of it anymore.

Television show: Spongebob when I was very little, and when I was a bit older, I enjoyed numerous anime.

Drink: My parents only kept water and milk in the house, so I enjoyed most drinks which were not of those two.

Memories: Shooting rifles and playing Capture the Flag at a camp that I visited frequently.

Did you have a best friend?

Yes, two.

Do you know if you were a good baby?

Somewhat.


Did you have a favorite song as a child?


Greensleeves.

Favorite subject at school?

It changed a fair amount.

Did you have a favorite teacher?

Plenty.

Were you good at school?

Yes.

One subject you could not stand?

When I was very little, reading, since I struggled to read at first. Later on, it was biology (and still is, even to college).
