questionoftheday asks: What is the most expensive thing you have ever broken?

My answer: sat on my fuckin 3ds and broke the hinge... it still works but you can't tilt the screen anymore and it flops all over the place. unfortunate.

questionoftheday asks: Do you have any interesting stories about an old teacher? Did they ever do something crazy or unforgettable in front of the class?

My answer: I don't have a story about a teacher, though I'm certain that there are some--I have a story about a classmate.

This was a girl I knew in middle school, a girl who seemed to be far cooler than me but really just had a lot of emotional issues that she covered up by acting out and dating a very long list of people for very short periods of time. Which is fine. Lots of people are like that in middle school, I'm not gonna judge her for that. Nor am I going to judge her for having at least three piercings in each of her ears, nor for allowing me to rearrange them for her during the middle of a very boring lecture from a very unlikeable teacher.

I moved the earrings around from piercing to piercing, arranging them in a way that I thought looked nice, and I thought that one of them might have worked well in her cartilage piercing. She'd mentioned, though, that she was thinking of closing it up, and there wasn't anything in it that day, so I asked if she still had it.

She said no.

Then she took the earring, and did the thing that I feel perfectly secure in judging her for.

She. Pierced. Her. Fucking. Cartilage. Right in class! With a dull, dirty earring!

And when I was visibly shocked, she just shrugged and went back to what she was doing. The teacher, even though she was a terrible bitch who hated it when anyone under the age of thirty had fun, didn't notice whatsoever, either.

It's gonna haunt me to my grave.
