40cakes1. What was your favorite breakfast cereal when you were a kid?
My mom never really let me eat sugary cereals as a kid, so I've only discovered them as an adult. Younger, it was pretty much Cheerios for 20 years, with occasional Pops or Corn Flakes mixed in for variety. Now? CHOCOLATE LUCKY CHARMS OMFG FULL OF ENERGY ALL FUCKING DAY.
2. What is the best toy/prize you ever got in a box of cereal or because of sending in UPC’s?
Hm. I have a color-change Trix spoon that STILL works. The best UPC-gift I gots is from Spaghettios, though, and it's a personalized utensil set (spoon, knife, and fork).
3. How do you take your eggs (scrambled, over easy, egg beaters)?
Scrambled, with cheese on top. Two eggs, only one yolk, Tofu American-flavored cheese.
4. What is your favorite breakfast meat (bacon, ham, sausage)?
Bacon. Easy to make, hard to screw up (though you'd be amazed at how I still manage to do it).
5. What is your favorite spot (local or chain restaurant) for breakfast and where is it located? Galax[ia] Diner, 5 minutes from house. For $8, you get the "Farmer's Platter," which is 3 pancakes, a slice of ham, a sausage link, 3 slices of bacon, and scrambled eggs. FULL ALL DAY.

1. Describe your education:
Preschool, then to snazzy private school (I cheated on the test to get in. No kiddin') that didn't have kindergarten, it had "Junior Primary" (since kindergarten translated to children's garden, suggesting playtime, and school is a place for learning. Dammit.). Stayed until 1st grade, then family moved to Florida, where I finished out the year in a public school, not quite understanding why no one else could read or speak French. They stuck me in the fifth grader class for English. (I heart Chiyo-chan!) Skipped second grade, went to another private school for one year, traded to a different public school for 4th and 5th grades, went back to the previous private school for 6th grade. Family moved to Kansas, rode short bus to school with a better gifted program for 7th and 8th (closest school wanted to skip me to 8th grade, and my parents protested that I was socially retarded enough already). Family moved to Jersey, went to same public school for a record four years, graduated 3rd in class. I got to make a speech even. Woot.
Oh, and kolij.
2. What's the last class you attended?
Uh. Probably not the last class I had scheduled XD I'll say Russian II.
3. Which do you think is more critical: classroom learning or real life experience?
Real life experience. I learned more in TV classes that let us sit in the studio's control room, then my AV-specific class that just showed us pictures out of a book.
4. What subject would you like to learn more about?
I dig languages. Next spring, I want to take a Japanese class from the Japan society in NYC.
5. Given the choice, would you sit in the front of a classroom or in the back?
I was a paranoid little shit, I sat in the back.
