Sheesh, and that was 1993 when I left. Even in the religion classes I had at the local church, the kids could be mean.
Mr Mcgrath Was surprised to see me.
He had his feet up on his desk, and pointed at me when I walked into his office.
“Why are you in my office?”
My exact response, “I beat the crap outta [the jerk].”
“Why?”
I explained why.
“Get out of my office, get on the bus, and go home.”
My mom was getting the call about my visit the office, getting told that I would need to be picked up, and who comes trundling through the front door but I.
Kids are mean. They don’t learn, “How would you feel if that happened to you?” until it’s too late.
I was fortunate enough to have parents who cared how I turned out.
Unfortunately, no.
Though I shall have to hunt it down somehow.
My dad was out of state and my mother didn’t drive, so I got to wait in the office until school was out so I could walk home with my sister.
I colored in some coloring books...I read maps...I read the titles on the books he had...I asked him a dozen questions...he was glad when the bell rang!
My first 3 copies came from used book stores. Originally written in the early ‘70’s. Although my last copy was a compilation of all 3 Nift books, “The Incomplete Nift”, an appropriate title for a complete compilation. Well worth the read!
I never got into that much trouble but school is just not a pleasant place to be, period.
I stopped in here while the instruments were rehearsing. We're all done now. It's going to sound really classy with the viola, and we're doing a Gregorian Chant piece ("Attende, Domine") in Spanish.
One of the editions of Abnormal Psychology sat in one of the offices of one of the Prinnies I met.
He was extremely annoyed when I began reading it.
And ignored his tirade at me for knocking the school’s star jock into the dirt.
Until I explained what said star jock did to deserve having a face full of gravel and a blinding headache.
Anoreth loves Edgar A. Poe. She’s done some neat illustrations of his stories. I think Ambrose Bierce was superior, and none of us is a Lovecraft fan.
This is REALLY it! I’m gone!
LOL! You need that book to understand people now, it seems.
Poe was ALWAYS my favorite! I have a copy of his complete works...outside...somewhere...
I was always the quiet bookish guy who got teased and picked on until I showed that my knowledge of pressure points and anatomy made me something to be terrified of.
Should have seen the kid who found out the hard way that having the middle finger bent backwards hard and fast enough made blinding flashes of light appear in your eyes.
He was very surprised.
My English teacher didn’t appreciate the kid flipping me off in class, and appreciated it less when I made sure he wouldn’t do it again.
*sigh*
Guess who got into trouble for it that day.
I thought Karsh went through the Sock Vortex and never made it back. Is this stuff a prequel?
NAH...just get a subscription to Psychology Today.
I’d sue.
NAH...just get a subscription to Psychology Today.
I think that's great. Americans who want to be Anglican and Christian shouldn't have to sift through a dozen or more competing options.
