I wanted to take supermarket lobsters home and rescue them.

I was morbidly curious of dead and dying animals my cats would leave in the yard.

I held no mercy. Few children do.

I tried hardest to fit in with the boys.

I was always the animal, the monster, when I played make-believe with my sibling or friends.

I was a master at hide-and-seek.

I was the "weird" kid.

I had an unwavering adoration for Savage Garden.

My mother was (and still is) my favorite person to hide within.

I thought we bowed our heads and closed our eyes during prayer because we weren't allowed to see angels that might appear.

I was more afraid of walking through the house at night than anything else.

I thought a sheep could be kept in a suburban back yard like a dog.

My bike was my best friend.

I was a Pokemon Master.

No one was quicker than I at Frogger.

I loved board games.

My room was pink and mint green.

I collected unicorns and dragons.

I enjoyed gathering slugs at night.

I lost faith.

I was tougher than my brother.

I saw a ghost.
