Mrs. Arsenu robbed me of like an extra half hour with my mother.
And no one back there said, bitch, are you telling me where to sit?
Like nobody would have done that.
You just did what she said.
I just did what she said.
And I think about it.
I've held a grudge since then.
And she's long dead, you know.
But I, yeah, that's probably my oldest grudge.
There was a guy in my high school who – we had a math teacher and he was also a coach.
And he was a dick and he was chewing out this –
student, this female student, and she started crying and he kept at it.
And this guy in the class stood up and said, you need to back off to the teacher.
And nobody did things like that.
And he got in so much trouble.
But it was somebody needed to do it.
And I'm so proud because he was gay.
I mean, it wasn't talked about back then, but there's no way this guy wasn't gay.
And I thought about it over the years, and I thought, wow, it was a gay person.
I mean, it wasn't this gay person, but it was a gay person.
