it feels like I was raised by caffeine-free wolves

Haha - we just drank tea here instead, which is healthier I guess. But I'm unable to pay $2+ for a tea bag and a cup of boiling water at a cafe.

Here's a question about swimming... how the heck are you supposed to go straight?

Going straight's not the problem; I keep my eyes open and generally can tell where I'm headed. I can swim fast, and move in 3D and everything. I just do a good breaststroke or swim overwater, and, well, I can't breathe underwater.
