I was fairly outgoing in first grade, as I recall. It wasn't until we moved in third grade that I got all shy and introverted -- which didn't wear off again until sometime in high school. I still have to struggle to keep the extroversion going sometimes.

Now I'm the same guy. In my 20s I strayed. I forgot to go fishing and love insects for too many years. Nice to be back.

Not very. I still have trouble coloring inside the lines.

I am the same, almost freakishly. I look alot like the little girl that I was with an updated haircut, but still short.
I'm akward and out going and say the wrong things and I still love to chat up strangers. Yep, I'm still strange.

I always asked questions, talked a lot, always wanted to tell my teachers interesting facts and stories...I think to a certain extent, minus the growing self-consciousness cultivated since jr. high, I am more or less the same. Minus the purity and simplicity of youth...

Once a child always a child. I still need to get up out of my chair every 5 minutes or so. The only difference is now I don't have to ask if I can go to the bathroom.

Apache brave suit

8 years of church school changed me from an out-going, bright, happy kid into a neurotic mess with a massive inferiority complex and a terror of authority. On the plus side, I quit going to church!

You were a hard-drinking Tom Waits wannabe in first grade, flange? Really?

From what I remember, filtered through what I now hate about kids, I think I was kind of a loudmouthed jackass, and a flirt. So yeah, not a damn thing's changed, and I'm ok with that.

I just can't remember back that far.

Was involved in words then (had to represent the first graders and read a Columbus Day piece on the school PA system) and involved in words now. Also was lousy at math then and, well...
