Elizzangel (9:53:16 PM): i remember one time with my friend jenny...she and i went around and hid cheetohs all over my house
tsukikage85 (9:53:22 PM): LOL
tsukikage85 (9:53:26 PM): you're kidding
Elizzangel (9:53:29 PM): in the couch cushions, in the fridge, on my mom's desk, in her bed
Elizzangel (9:53:31 PM): EVERYWHERE!
Elizzangel (9:53:40 PM): my mom said she was finding cheetohs for WEEKS!
Elizzangel (9:53:50 PM): i was a bit of a devil child
Elizzangel (9:53:51 PM): haha
Elizzangel (9:54:43 PM): so...where have i lived?
Elizzangel (9:54:48 PM): that's a question, alright!
Elizzangel (9:55:01 PM): well i moved to czechoslovakia from st. paul
Elizzangel (9:55:14 PM): but of course...before st. paul we lived in lacrosse, wisconsin
Elizzangel (9:55:16 PM): that's where i was born
Elizzangel (9:55:39 PM): anyway...so then when we were in czechoslovakia, the country split...so it became the czech republic
Elizzangel (9:55:43 PM): we lived there until i was 10
Elizzangel (9:55:53 PM): and then my mom got remarried so we moved to nashville
Elizzangel (9:55:58 PM): i went to most of middle school there
Elizzangel (9:56:11 PM): then i went to a boarding school in canada for one semester
Elizzangel (9:56:31 PM): then i came back to nashville and started at a different school...and somehow in there managed to skip a grade
Elizzangel (9:56:42 PM): i stayed in nashville for two years
Elizzangel (9:56:49 PM): then i was sent to boarding school in montana
Elizzangel (9:56:53 PM): that was my senior year
Elizzangel (9:57:00 PM): i graduated high school in 2003
Elizzangel (9:57:12 PM): and then i went back to the czech republic to work there for two years
tsukikage85 (9:57:17 PM): wow...
Elizzangel (9:57:21 PM): and now i'm in DC
Elizzangel (9:57:24 PM): i'm a freshman at GW
tsukikage85 (9:57:32 PM): you've had an exciting life
Elizzangel (9:57:39 PM): well...it's been up and down
tsukikage85 (10:00:04 PM): *does a little research so as not to sound stupid*
Elizzangel (10:00:17 PM): haha
Elizzangel (10:00:25 PM): don't worry about it
Elizzangel (10:00:26 PM): just ask
tsukikage85 (10:00:57 PM): well, i remember worrying about you getting hurt in the war when czechoslovakia split up
tsukikage85 (10:01:11 PM): but of course i was young at the time and didn't actually know what was going on
tsukikage85 (10:01:26 PM): and i don't even know now if there was a war or if it was violent
Elizzangel (10:01:33 PM): actually
Elizzangel (10:01:37 PM): it was really peaceful
Elizzangel (10:01:46 PM): it was the most peaceful split ever
Elizzangel (10:01:57 PM): because you see, czech republic and slovakia never even wanted to be united
Elizzangel (10:02:07 PM): it was the soviet union that forced them to unite
tsukikage85 (10:02:12 PM): okay...
Elizzangel (10:02:20 PM): so after the soviet union fell...they were free to split as they had always wanted
tsukikage85 (10:02:20 PM): so my 8-year-old self had no reason to be worried ^_^
Elizzangel (10:02:28 PM): aw, haha
tsukikage85 (10:02:44 PM): so you guys basically split up with a handshake
Elizzangel (10:02:52 PM): pretty much
tsukikage85 (10:02:58 PM): that's cool
tsukikage85 (10:03:04 PM): so, how do you like dc?
Elizzangel (10:03:11 PM): well wait, what about you?
Elizzangel (10:03:19 PM): have you just been in st. paul this whole time?
tsukikage85 (10:03:40 PM): naw, i moved to my dad's house in minneapolis in my junior year of high school
Elizzangel (10:03:46 PM): oh ok
tsukikage85 (10:03:47 PM): exciting, huh?
Elizzangel (10:03:51 PM): haha yeah
tsukikage85 (10:03:54 PM): heh
Elizzangel (10:03:58 PM): but you kept going to school in st. paul?

Elizzangel (10:06:12 PM): she goes to wisc stout
tsukikage85 (10:06:31 PM): i think the last time i saw her was in third grade ^^;
Elizzangel (10:06:35 PM): oh haha!
Elizzangel (10:06:43 PM): well you guys graduated from the same high school
Elizzangel (10:06:45 PM): in the same year
Elizzangel (10:06:48 PM): that's why i asked
tsukikage85 (10:06:54 PM): really?
tsukikage85 (10:06:56 PM): wow...
tsukikage85 (10:07:08 PM): i guess we never had any of our classes together
Elizzangel (10:07:14 PM): i guess
Elizzangel (10:07:19 PM): ok i have to ask
Elizzangel (10:07:24 PM): since we went to montessori together
Elizzangel (10:07:30 PM): do you remember a kid name ryan?
tsukikage85 (10:07:36 PM): wow, you have a lot of facebook friends
Elizzangel (10:07:40 PM): haha i know
tsukikage85 (10:07:43 PM): not really... what's his last name?
Elizzangel (10:07:45 PM): i've moved around a lot
Elizzangel (10:07:47 PM): i have no idea
Elizzangel (10:07:58 PM): all i remember is that he was a grade above us
tsukikage85 (10:08:05 PM): okay
Elizzangel (10:08:06 PM): and he and i "dated"
tsukikage85 (10:08:11 PM): lol
Elizzangel (10:08:14 PM): whatever that means when you're in kindergarten
tsukikage85 (10:08:15 PM): did you get married, too?
Elizzangel (10:08:27 PM): no, that was my next door neighbor joey
Elizzangel (10:08:34 PM): who you might also know
Elizzangel (10:08:38 PM): hutchenson
Elizzangel (10:08:46 PM): or hutchinson
tsukikage85 (10:08:55 PM): okay
Elizzangel (10:09:16 PM): anyway....ryan and i were boyfriend/girlfriend
tsukikage85 (10:09:16 PM): heh
Elizzangel (10:09:23 PM): and we used to kiss
Elizzangel (10:09:32 PM): and i remember one day this one kid named daniel told on us
Elizzangel (10:09:36 PM): and we got in trouble
tsukikage85 (10:09:37 PM): Details:
* Joe and Elizabeth dated from 1989 to 1992, were practically married, but now they aren't speaking.
Elizzangel (10:09:42 PM): yeah haha
tsukikage85 (10:09:43 PM): LOL
tsukikage85 (10:09:46 PM): that's hilarious
Elizzangel (10:09:56 PM): that's inaccurate
Elizzangel (10:10:01 PM): we actually WERE married
Elizzangel (10:10:10 PM): but that wasn't an option in the details
Elizzangel (10:10:52 PM): so anyway...after this daniel kid told the teachers that ryan and i had been kissing, we got in trouble
Elizzangel (10:10:58 PM): and i was really mad at daniel
Elizzangel (10:11:03 PM): so i punched him
Elizzangel (10:11:21 PM): he was sitting on a fence...and he fell off the other side and had a bloody nose
Elizzangel (10:11:25 PM): hahaha
tsukikage85 (10:11:35 PM): was this a fence at montessori?
Elizzangel (10:11:40 PM): i think so
Elizzangel (10:11:44 PM): that's how i remember it
Elizzangel (10:11:51 PM): but i may be a bit off on the details
tsukikage85 (10:11:53 PM): wow :-)
tsukikage85 (10:12:08 PM): i think i kissed someone under the tree outside of the daycare
Elizzangel (10:12:18 PM): that was the place to do it!
tsukikage85 (10:12:20 PM): man, do you remember the teachers?
Elizzangel (10:12:23 PM): that's where i did it
tsukikage85 (10:12:26 PM): lorna, indranee and mano?
Elizzangel (10:12:27 PM): yeah...from sri lanka?
tsukikage85 (10:12:29 PM): yeah
tsukikage85 (10:12:35 PM): and everyone hated lorna
Elizzangel (10:12:39 PM): oh man, i didn't remember their names
Elizzangel (10:12:44 PM): i don't remember who's who
Elizzangel (10:12:53 PM): i just knew they were from sri lanka
tsukikage85 (10:12:53 PM): well, i went there during part of elementary school so...
Elizzangel (10:12:56 PM): oh
Elizzangel (10:12:59 PM): that makes sense
tsukikage85 (10:13:25 PM): hm. do you remember when they'd have us "cut out" stuff from construction paper by perforating them with push-pins
tsukikage85 (10:13:27 PM): ?
Elizzangel (10:13:57 PM): YES!
Elizzangel (10:14:01 PM): omg!!!
Elizzangel (10:14:06 PM): i remember that SO well!
tsukikage85 (10:14:21 PM): we did it so d*mn often, you'd better!
Elizzangel (10:14:24 PM): actually...the job i had in the czech republic for the past two years was teaching kindergarten/preschool
tsukikage85 (10:14:25 PM): *grins*
Elizzangel (10:14:31 PM): and i used to do that with the kids
tsukikage85 (10:14:35 PM): for real?!
Elizzangel (10:14:37 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:14:38 PM): for real
tsukikage85 (10:15:00 PM): did your supervisors have you do that, or were you just like "i remember doing that, so i'm gonna try it with these kids"?
Elizzangel (10:15:07 PM): the latter
tsukikage85 (10:15:14 PM): that's so cool
Elizzangel (10:15:17 PM): i was basically free to make my own curriculum
Elizzangel (10:15:26 PM): because it was an international school
tsukikage85 (10:15:34 PM): i remember i hated it, but now that i think of it i think it helped us with fine motor skills and patience
Elizzangel (10:15:35 PM): so we weren't accredited by the czech ministry of education anyway
tsukikage85 (10:15:42 PM): okay...
Elizzangel (10:15:45 PM): yeah that's exactly the point of it
tsukikage85 (10:15:58 PM): i had no clue at the time, of course
Elizzangel (10:16:04 PM): obviously
Elizzangel (10:16:10 PM): i also remember learning how to cut
tsukikage85 (10:16:13 PM): i thought they were just mean people who didn't want to let us use scissors
Elizzangel (10:16:24 PM): there would be really thick lines around the figure we were supposed to cut
tsukikage85 (10:16:25 PM): they taught us that?
Elizzangel (10:16:30 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:16:47 PM): we were supposed to cut around the general area of the figure
Elizzangel (10:16:52 PM): and then cut the details out
tsukikage85 (10:17:04 PM): huh... i vaguely remember that
Elizzangel (10:17:14 PM): i also remember learning multiplication thre
tsukikage85 (10:17:14 PM): doing the general area followed by the details
Elizzangel (10:17:15 PM): there
tsukikage85 (10:17:30 PM): i seriously think going there was the reason i was a year ahead in math
Elizzangel (10:17:39 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:17:41 PM): so true
Elizzangel (10:17:45 PM): me too
tsukikage85 (10:17:49 PM): and they had those weird bead things on wires
Elizzangel (10:17:54 PM): yes!!
tsukikage85 (10:17:58 PM): with singles, tens, hundreds, and thousands
Elizzangel (10:18:04 PM): i've tried explaining those things to other people but i can't
Elizzangel (10:18:09 PM): you have to see it
tsukikage85 (10:18:12 PM): (a bead, a row, a square, and a cube)
Elizzangel (10:18:17 PM): omg
Elizzangel (10:18:26 PM): i'm so glad i can bond with someone over this!
Elizzangel (10:18:29 PM): haha
tsukikage85 (10:18:33 PM): *grins like a totally stupid girl*
Elizzangel (10:18:36 PM): hahaha
tsukikage85 (10:18:42 PM): it's kinda exciting, isn't it :-)
Elizzangel (10:18:45 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:18:52 PM): i remember the christmas play we did one year
tsukikage85 (10:18:58 PM): yeah? what was it like?
Elizzangel (10:19:04 PM): i was the narrator
Elizzangel (10:19:07 PM): and i showed up late
Elizzangel (10:19:12 PM): that's all i remember
tsukikage85 (10:19:16 PM): wow...
Elizzangel (10:19:18 PM): so...maybe i could read
tsukikage85 (10:19:25 PM): i remeber some performances we did
Elizzangel (10:19:28 PM): because i remember holding the paper and reading my lines
tsukikage85 (10:19:32 PM): or rather, that we did performances...
Elizzangel (10:19:40 PM): haha
Elizzangel (10:19:47 PM): thanks for the clarification
tsukikage85 (10:19:53 PM): lol
Elizzangel (10:19:55 PM): i was about to ask which ones you remembered

tsukikage85 (10:20:35 PM): and that's it ^^;
Elizzangel (10:20:47 PM): oohhh....yeah i don't remember that but i know what you're talking about
tsukikage85 (10:20:48 PM): what about scalloped potatoes?
Elizzangel (10:20:59 PM): we used to eat them all the time for lunch and i hated them
Elizzangel (10:21:06 PM): i used to say they looked like boogers
tsukikage85 (10:21:08 PM): my mom and stepdad actually got married at the church upstairs
Elizzangel (10:21:08 PM): or snot
tsukikage85 (10:21:09 PM): LOL

tsukikage85 (10:21:16 PM): i don't remember any of the food
Elizzangel (10:21:18 PM): oh really?
Elizzangel (10:21:24 PM): when did they get married?
tsukikage85 (10:21:39 PM): except... during breakfast i'd always feel really lucky when someone traded or shared their lucky charms with me
Elizzangel (10:21:46 PM): haha!
tsukikage85 (10:21:47 PM): 96
Elizzangel (10:21:50 PM): oh cool

Elizzangel (10:22:07 PM): well...kind of
tsukikage85 (10:22:11 PM): (when their daughter was 3... i didn't realize until much later that this was kind of odd)
Elizzangel (10:22:34 PM): oh they had a daughter together?

Elizzangel (10:23:19 PM): ok that's really awkward
Elizzangel (10:23:28 PM): being a flower girl and your own parents' wedding
tsukikage85 (10:23:33 PM): yeah... thinking back i wonder how their parents felt
tsukikage85 (10:23:38 PM): if they were weirded out at all
tsukikage85 (10:23:46 PM): i know they were living together when they got married
Elizzangel (10:23:54 PM): oh
tsukikage85 (10:23:55 PM): maybe they were saving up money for the wedding?
Elizzangel (10:23:58 PM): maybe
tsukikage85 (10:24:02 PM): i dunno
Elizzangel (10:24:10 PM): i have kind of a serious question though

Elizzangel (9:50:37 PM): okay so that must be how we know each other
Elizzangel (9:51:24 PM): i think the reason i didn't recognize your name at first was because back when i knew you..i didn't know how to read!

tsukikage85 (9:52:59 PM): yeah?
tsukikage85 (9:53:04 PM): heh heh
tsukikage85 (9:53:11 PM): man...
tsukikage85 (9:53:16 PM): so, where all have you lived?
Elizzangel (9:53:16 PM): i remember one time with my friend jenny...she and i went around and hid cheetohs all over my house
tsukikage85 (9:53:22 PM): LOL
tsukikage85 (9:53:26 PM): you're kidding
Elizzangel (9:53:29 PM): in the couch cushions, in the fridge, on my mom's desk, in her bed
Elizzangel (9:53:31 PM): EVERYWHERE!
Elizzangel (9:53:40 PM): my mom said she was finding cheetohs for WEEKS!
Elizzangel (9:53:50 PM): i was a bit of a devil child
Elizzangel (9:53:51 PM): haha
Elizzangel (9:54:43 PM): so...where have i lived?
Elizzangel (9:54:48 PM): that's a question, alright!
Elizzangel (9:55:01 PM): well i moved to czechoslovakia from st. paul
Elizzangel (9:55:14 PM): but of course...before st. paul we lived in lacrosse, wisconsin
Elizzangel (9:55:16 PM): that's where i was born
Elizzangel (9:55:39 PM): anyway...so then when we were in czechoslovakia, the country split...so it became the czech republic
Elizzangel (9:55:43 PM): we lived there until i was 10
Elizzangel (9:55:53 PM): and then my mom got remarried so we moved to nashville
Elizzangel (9:55:58 PM): i went to most of middle school there
Elizzangel (9:56:11 PM): then i went to a boarding school in canada for one semester
Elizzangel (9:56:31 PM): then i came back to nashville and started at a different school...and somehow in there managed to skip a grade
Elizzangel (9:56:42 PM): i stayed in nashville for two years
Elizzangel (9:56:49 PM): then i was sent to boarding school in montana
Elizzangel (9:56:53 PM): that was my senior year
Elizzangel (9:57:00 PM): i graduated high school in 2003
Elizzangel (9:57:12 PM): and then i went back to the czech republic to work there for two years
tsukikage85 (9:57:17 PM): wow...
Elizzangel (9:57:21 PM): and now i'm in DC
Elizzangel (9:57:24 PM): i'm a freshman at GW
tsukikage85 (9:57:32 PM): you've had an exciting life
Elizzangel (9:57:39 PM): well...it's been up and down
tsukikage85 (10:00:04 PM): *does a little research so as not to sound stupid*
Elizzangel (10:00:17 PM): haha
Elizzangel (10:00:25 PM): don't worry about it
Elizzangel (10:00:26 PM): just ask
tsukikage85 (10:00:57 PM): well, i remember worrying about you getting hurt in the war when czechoslovakia split up
tsukikage85 (10:01:11 PM): but of course i was young at the time and didn't actually know what was going on
tsukikage85 (10:01:26 PM): and i don't even know now if there was a war or if it was violent
Elizzangel (10:01:33 PM): actually
Elizzangel (10:01:37 PM): it was really peaceful
Elizzangel (10:01:46 PM): it was the most peaceful split ever
Elizzangel (10:01:57 PM): because you see, czech republic and slovakia never even wanted to be united
Elizzangel (10:02:07 PM): it was the soviet union that forced them to unite
tsukikage85 (10:02:12 PM): okay...
Elizzangel (10:02:20 PM): so after the soviet union fell...they were free to split as they had always wanted
tsukikage85 (10:02:20 PM): so my 8-year-old self had no reason to be worried ^_^
Elizzangel (10:02:28 PM): aw, haha
tsukikage85 (10:02:44 PM): so you guys basically split up with a handshake
Elizzangel (10:02:52 PM): pretty much
tsukikage85 (10:02:58 PM): that's cool
tsukikage85 (10:03:04 PM): so, how do you like dc?
Elizzangel (10:03:11 PM): well wait, what about you?
Elizzangel (10:03:19 PM): have you just been in st. paul this whole time?
tsukikage85 (10:03:40 PM): naw, i moved to my dad's house in minneapolis in my junior year of high school
Elizzangel (10:03:46 PM): oh ok
tsukikage85 (10:03:47 PM): exciting, huh?
Elizzangel (10:03:51 PM): haha yeah
tsukikage85 (10:03:54 PM): heh
Elizzangel (10:03:58 PM): but you kept going to school in st. paul?
tsukikage85 (10:04:02 PM): yup
Elizzangel (10:04:07 PM): oh ok
Elizzangel (10:04:08 PM): i see
tsukikage85 (10:04:14 PM): the only time i ever changed schools was when i graduated from my old one

tsukikage85 (10:04:59 PM): that's her name!
tsukikage85 (10:05:02 PM): yeah, i do
Elizzangel (10:05:12 PM): she was my best friend in kindergarten
tsukikage85 (10:05:13 PM): i met one of my current friends through her
Elizzangel (10:05:17 PM): she lived down the street from me
Elizzangel (10:05:21 PM): i saw her not too long ago
tsukikage85 (10:05:28 PM): how is she?
Elizzangel (10:05:40 PM): well..it was january 2004 when i saw her
Elizzangel (10:05:46 PM): but she seems to be doing alright
Elizzangel (10:06:02 PM): you've probably seen her more recently than i have
Elizzangel (10:06:12 PM): she goes to wisc stout
tsukikage85 (10:06:31 PM): i think the last time i saw her was in third grade ^^;
Elizzangel (10:06:35 PM): oh haha!
Elizzangel (10:06:43 PM): well you guys graduated from the same high school
Elizzangel (10:06:45 PM): in the same year
Elizzangel (10:06:48 PM): that's why i asked
tsukikage85 (10:06:54 PM): really?
tsukikage85 (10:06:56 PM): wow...
tsukikage85 (10:07:08 PM): i guess we never had any of our classes together
Elizzangel (10:07:14 PM): i guess
Elizzangel (10:07:19 PM): ok i have to ask
Elizzangel (10:07:24 PM): since we went to montessori together
Elizzangel (10:07:30 PM): do you remember a kid name ryan?
tsukikage85 (10:07:36 PM): wow, you have a lot of facebook friends
Elizzangel (10:07:40 PM): haha i know
tsukikage85 (10:07:43 PM): not really... what's his last name?
Elizzangel (10:07:45 PM): i've moved around a lot
Elizzangel (10:07:47 PM): i have no idea
Elizzangel (10:07:58 PM): all i remember is that he was a grade above us
tsukikage85 (10:08:05 PM): okay
Elizzangel (10:08:06 PM): and he and i "dated"
tsukikage85 (10:08:11 PM): lol
Elizzangel (10:08:14 PM): whatever that means when you're in kindergarten
tsukikage85 (10:08:15 PM): did you get married, too?
Elizzangel (10:08:27 PM): no, that was my next door neighbor joey
Elizzangel (10:08:34 PM): who you might also know
Elizzangel (10:08:38 PM): hutchenson
Elizzangel (10:08:46 PM): or hutchinson
tsukikage85 (10:08:55 PM): okay
Elizzangel (10:09:16 PM): anyway....ryan and i were boyfriend/girlfriend
tsukikage85 (10:09:16 PM): heh
Elizzangel (10:09:23 PM): and we used to kiss
Elizzangel (10:09:32 PM): and i remember one day this one kid named daniel told on us
Elizzangel (10:09:36 PM): and we got in trouble
tsukikage85 (10:09:37 PM): Details:
* Joe and Elizabeth dated from 1989 to 1992, were practically married, but now they aren't speaking.
Elizzangel (10:09:42 PM): yeah haha
tsukikage85 (10:09:43 PM): LOL
tsukikage85 (10:09:46 PM): that's hilarious
Elizzangel (10:09:56 PM): that's inaccurate
Elizzangel (10:10:01 PM): we actually WERE married
Elizzangel (10:10:10 PM): but that wasn't an option in the details
Elizzangel (10:10:52 PM): so anyway...after this daniel kid told the teachers that ryan and i had been kissing, we got in trouble
Elizzangel (10:10:58 PM): and i was really mad at daniel
Elizzangel (10:11:03 PM): so i punched him
Elizzangel (10:11:21 PM): he was sitting on a fence...and he fell off the other side and had a bloody nose
Elizzangel (10:11:25 PM): hahaha
tsukikage85 (10:11:35 PM): was this a fence at montessori?
Elizzangel (10:11:40 PM): i think so
Elizzangel (10:11:44 PM): that's how i remember it
Elizzangel (10:11:51 PM): but i may be a bit off on the details
tsukikage85 (10:11:53 PM): wow :-)
tsukikage85 (10:12:08 PM): i think i kissed someone under the tree outside of the daycare
Elizzangel (10:12:18 PM): that was the place to do it!
tsukikage85 (10:12:20 PM): man, do you remember the teachers?
Elizzangel (10:12:23 PM): that's where i did it
tsukikage85 (10:12:26 PM): lorna, indranee and mano?
Elizzangel (10:12:27 PM): yeah...from sri lanka?
tsukikage85 (10:12:29 PM): yeah
tsukikage85 (10:12:35 PM): and everyone hated lorna
Elizzangel (10:12:39 PM): oh man, i didn't remember their names
Elizzangel (10:12:44 PM): i don't remember who's who
Elizzangel (10:12:53 PM): i just knew they were from sri lanka
tsukikage85 (10:12:53 PM): well, i went there during part of elementary school so...
Elizzangel (10:12:56 PM): oh
Elizzangel (10:12:59 PM): that makes sense
tsukikage85 (10:13:25 PM): hm. do you remember when they'd have us "cut out" stuff from construction paper by perforating them with push-pins
tsukikage85 (10:13:27 PM): ?
Elizzangel (10:13:57 PM): YES!
Elizzangel (10:14:01 PM): omg!!!
Elizzangel (10:14:06 PM): i remember that SO well!
tsukikage85 (10:14:21 PM): we did it so d*mn often, you'd better!
Elizzangel (10:14:24 PM): actually...the job i had in the czech republic for the past two years was teaching kindergarten/preschool
tsukikage85 (10:14:25 PM): *grins*
Elizzangel (10:14:31 PM): and i used to do that with the kids
tsukikage85 (10:14:35 PM): for real?!
Elizzangel (10:14:37 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:14:38 PM): for real
tsukikage85 (10:15:00 PM): did your supervisors have you do that, or were you just like "i remember doing that, so i'm gonna try it with these kids"?
Elizzangel (10:15:07 PM): the latter
tsukikage85 (10:15:14 PM): that's so cool
Elizzangel (10:15:17 PM): i was basically free to make my own curriculum
Elizzangel (10:15:26 PM): because it was an international school
tsukikage85 (10:15:34 PM): i remember i hated it, but now that i think of it i think it helped us with fine motor skills and patience
Elizzangel (10:15:35 PM): so we weren't accredited by the czech ministry of education anyway
tsukikage85 (10:15:42 PM): okay...
Elizzangel (10:15:45 PM): yeah that's exactly the point of it
tsukikage85 (10:15:58 PM): i had no clue at the time, of course
Elizzangel (10:16:04 PM): obviously
Elizzangel (10:16:10 PM): i also remember learning how to cut
tsukikage85 (10:16:13 PM): i thought they were just mean people who didn't want to let us use scissors
Elizzangel (10:16:24 PM): there would be really thick lines around the figure we were supposed to cut
tsukikage85 (10:16:25 PM): they taught us that?
Elizzangel (10:16:30 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:16:47 PM): we were supposed to cut around the general area of the figure
Elizzangel (10:16:52 PM): and then cut the details out
tsukikage85 (10:17:04 PM): huh... i vaguely remember that
Elizzangel (10:17:14 PM): i also remember learning multiplication thre
tsukikage85 (10:17:14 PM): doing the general area followed by the details
Elizzangel (10:17:15 PM): there
tsukikage85 (10:17:30 PM): i seriously think going there was the reason i was a year ahead in math
Elizzangel (10:17:39 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:17:41 PM): so true
Elizzangel (10:17:45 PM): me too
tsukikage85 (10:17:49 PM): and they had those weird bead things on wires
Elizzangel (10:17:54 PM): yes!!
tsukikage85 (10:17:58 PM): with singles, tens, hundreds, and thousands
Elizzangel (10:18:04 PM): i've tried explaining those things to other people but i can't
Elizzangel (10:18:09 PM): you have to see it
tsukikage85 (10:18:12 PM): (a bead, a row, a square, and a cube)
Elizzangel (10:18:17 PM): omg
Elizzangel (10:18:26 PM): i'm so glad i can bond with someone over this!
Elizzangel (10:18:29 PM): haha
tsukikage85 (10:18:33 PM): *grins like a totally stupid girl*
Elizzangel (10:18:36 PM): hahaha
tsukikage85 (10:18:42 PM): it's kinda exciting, isn't it :-)
Elizzangel (10:18:45 PM): yeah
Elizzangel (10:18:52 PM): i remember the christmas play we did one year
tsukikage85 (10:18:58 PM): yeah? what was it like?
Elizzangel (10:19:04 PM): i was the narrator
Elizzangel (10:19:07 PM): and i showed up late
Elizzangel (10:19:12 PM): that's all i remember
tsukikage85 (10:19:16 PM): wow...
Elizzangel (10:19:18 PM): so...maybe i could read
tsukikage85 (10:19:25 PM): i remeber some performances we did
Elizzangel (10:19:28 PM): because i remember holding the paper and reading my lines
tsukikage85 (10:19:32 PM): or rather, that we did performances...
Elizzangel (10:19:40 PM): haha
Elizzangel (10:19:47 PM): thanks for the clarification
tsukikage85 (10:19:53 PM): lol
Elizzangel (10:19:55 PM): i was about to ask which ones you remembered
tsukikage85 (10:19:59 PM): you're welcome?
Elizzangel (10:20:03 PM): lol
tsukikage85 (10:20:08 PM): man, the one other big thing i remember...

Elizzangel (10:20:24 PM): scalloped potatoes?
tsukikage85 (10:20:31 PM): ties, buttons, zippers...
tsukikage85 (10:20:35 PM): and that's it ^^;
Elizzangel (10:20:47 PM): oohhh....yeah i don't remember that but i know what you're talking about
tsukikage85 (10:20:48 PM): what about scalloped potatoes?
Elizzangel (10:20:59 PM): we used to eat them all the time for lunch and i hated them
Elizzangel (10:21:06 PM): i used to say they looked like boogers
tsukikage85 (10:21:08 PM): my mom and stepdad actually got married at the church upstairs
Elizzangel (10:21:08 PM): or snot
tsukikage85 (10:21:09 PM): LOL
tsukikage85 (10:21:10 PM): wow
Elizzangel (10:21:13 PM): i don't know which word i used
tsukikage85 (10:21:16 PM): i don't remember any of the food
Elizzangel (10:21:18 PM): oh really?
Elizzangel (10:21:24 PM): when did they get married?
tsukikage85 (10:21:39 PM): except... during breakfast i'd always feel really lucky when someone traded or shared their lucky charms with me
Elizzangel (10:21:46 PM): haha!
tsukikage85 (10:21:47 PM): 96
Elizzangel (10:21:50 PM): oh cool
Elizzangel (10:22:00 PM): that's the same year my mom and stepdad got married
Elizzangel (10:22:07 PM): well...kind of
tsukikage85 (10:22:11 PM): (when their daughter was 3... i didn't realize until much later that this was kind of odd)
Elizzangel (10:22:34 PM): oh they had a daughter together?
Elizzangel (10:22:44 PM): after i left, i guess?
tsukikage85 (10:22:57 PM): yeah
tsukikage85 (10:22:59 PM): in 93
Elizzangel (10:23:01 PM): that is a little bit awkward
tsukikage85 (10:23:10 PM): she was a flower girl
Elizzangel (10:23:19 PM): ok that's really awkward
Elizzangel (10:23:28 PM): being a flower girl and your own parents' wedding
tsukikage85 (10:23:33 PM): yeah... thinking back i wonder how their parents felt
tsukikage85 (10:23:38 PM): if they were weirded out at all
tsukikage85 (10:23:46 PM): i know they were living together when they got married
Elizzangel (10:23:54 PM): oh
tsukikage85 (10:23:55 PM): maybe they were saving up money for the wedding?
Elizzangel (10:23:58 PM): maybe
