- About Me:
- "O Kali, Thou art fond of cremation grounds;

O Mother! I have preserved the ashes of dead bodies all around

O Mother! Keeping Shiva, conqueror of Death, under Thy feet,
Come, dancing to the tune of music"
I like lots. I dislike lots. You can ask me more if you're curious. My kids are a billion times more awesome than yours, and prettier, too. I cause trouble. I'm wildly emotional. And very interesting.
People dig me.

Frustração
I have never been very good at patience in the learning process. I like being a rockstar IMMEDIATELY, and when I have to work too hard at something, I get frustrated and want to quit. Is there something wrong with me, or do lots of people feel this way?
I remember reading somewhere that kids in "gifted" programs and such actually tend to fail or otherwise do poorly in school much more often than "regular" kids. Something about not being used to having to put an effort (so no skill in studying a… Continue
