Hello, I really like your site (it is always good to butter up the artist).  It is a neat idea.  I read your request for childhood memories and thought I'd send you one.  My name is Ila (last name withheld for her privacy) and school was not a very pleasant experience for me.  For starters I have nappy red hair, lots of freckles and poor eyesight which required thick glasses.  Needless to say I was teased relentlessly.

I had to eat lunch by myself and throughout school I never had a close friend.  My mother use to always tell me that the real world was nothing like school.  That when I went to college things would change.  People wouldn't make fun of me based on my appearance.  You know what?  My mom lied.

Wow.  Ila, where's my happy ending???.  Hey, there are jerks of all ages out there, whether it be 1st grade or college.  I suspect you haven't found the real "cool" kids yet.  Check out the art department.  All the cool people hang out there.  And, listen up, I'll let you roll with me and my crew any day of the week.  Feel free to email or IM me anytime.  You are now part of my ever growing army.  Welcome, Ila.
