I remember that we had a teacher that we used to make fun of. She was our Home Economics teacher. She was overweight and short and had large breasts. We called her "Torpedo T---". You can guess what we called her.

Me and my friend Chris put a character in our book called "Torpedo T---".

I feel really bad about it though because it was cruel and she didn't do anything to deserve it.

I remember in band class I used to sit next to a trombonist named Jeff Smith. I must have been in last chair or something at the time to be sitting next to the trombones. Anyway, Jeff offered to sell me a Super Nintendo game called "Final Fantasy II". I can't remember why I actually bought it from him. I don't think I had heard of it before. I never played a role playing game before that except Zelda. I believe I bought it from him for $20.

Anyway, I immediately fell in love with it. I loved that you could name the characters.

In sixth grade, Chris, Austin and I started writing a book called "The End of the World". It was about how my friends and I went on Double Dare and won a trip to Cape Canaveral space camp. Somehow, we happened to be on a space ship at the moment when the world ended and we launched into space. It was just me and my friends and the girls at school that we liked. There were graphic descriptions of sexual acts we performed with the girls and illustrations as well. It was total trash. It was eventually discarded because Austin would have it at school and would joke about showing it to girls I liked. There were some close calls. So, eventually I got my hands on it and destroyed it. Shortly thereafter I began to write another "End of the World" novel. This one was "R" rated rather than "X" rated. I will post memories about that one in the future.
