I first became obsessed with Tamas when I was in 6th grade and everyone made fun of me for bringing them to school and going into the washroom to take care of them. And I do mean everyone since it was a tiny school. A few other kids ended up buying them though and they kind of became a fad at my school. In fact, I remember one of my friend's mothers walking up to me and thanking me for showing her kids Tamagotchis because it was the first time they got along in months. The other kids then got bored of them and labeled Tamagotchis as "gay" as well as me for liking them, but at least it made me unique. I collect and care for Tamagotchis and snakes. Real live snakes. I don't want to be a boring run-of-the-mill person. Screw that. Tamagotchis are fun.
