Whether in my writing, or on stage, or even just to them directly...they made me do the one thing I hated most, and I'm better for it. Now, I've never been published (outside of my grade-school newsletter or that one submission to Penthouse Forum), but if I ever were to have a byline, I'd have Mrs. Zimmerman, Mr. Greeley, and Drs. Seal and Gold to thank afterward. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Last blog post from Elwood - <a href="http://untitledstoryofmylife.blogspot.com/2009/04/toy-story-53-come-as-you-are.html" rel="nofollow">Toy Story 53: Come As You Are</a></em></abbr></em></abbr> It’s funny…the teachers that I remember most, and that had the biggest inpact on me, were the ones that forced me to show myself.

She had the crazy, straight-part-down-the-middle hair, right? Don’t hold me to it, but I’m pretty sure Mrs. M. was the legal secretary when I closed on my house about six years ago.
