They facinate me, although not as much as cows. I had a teacher that was a first year teacher at one point and she broke all the norm rules with her outfits. The next year she was dressed very normally for a teacher and after that she was gone. It made me very sad. That was in high school and she was more of a friend than a teacher (I didn't need teaching back then *I was smart* :) I have often wondered if you had to wear sari and about the classes in India but I thought it rude to ask. I wish I had a picture of how big I let the holes in my ear lobes get before I started to let them grow back. In my line of work it's okay. I can dress however I wish. You are such an interesting person, all this just adds to how amazing you are, although I supose in India it is very idiosyncranious.
