I've recently been rummaging through old boxes at my parents house, and packing up things that need to be moved, things that stay and things that need to be thrown away. I have completely forgotten so many things that were once treasures to me. Along the way I found: old letters, diaries, photos, old homework, trapper keepers, pogs, and national geographic map inserts that I deemed save-worthy.
Along the way, I found this precious little gem of a writing assignment, that make me realize what a rad kid I was. I can only hope that I spawn babies with such creative thinking. So sit back and enjoy this flashback into my 8 year old mind. The assignment is dated: 5/1/89 with booze and boys entering my brain already.
The Ugily and Hansome Man
Once there was a boy named Jimmy Clark. Jimmy Clark is twelve. He has brown hair, hasel eyes, freckles and he is chubby. He dosn't have any friends. Hes in sixth grade and very smart. As the years passed he got handsome. He lost weight and he lost his freckles. He was the handsomest boy in twelth grade. At the prom, he met Linsy Mark. On the day after they gragutated they eloped. A week later his parants got a devorce. Now his name was Jimmy Beam. One night he went to a bar. He mixed up some drinks and soon came up with a drink he named it Jim Beam. He was very famous.
Morial: Never judge somebody as youth but as an elder.
I also found a journal entry from 4/26/88 about my first communion, that hints at early apathy and warcraft obsession:
Last saturday I had my first communion. First, inside the church, the preist talked and we sang then we had to promise some things. Then we receved our roseries. After that we went out to lunch, and that's where I got my goblet.
Who knew?
