hey world. here i am., weighty world issues

In which I look back at my childhood and sigh dramatically.

I went in search of some old journals, looking for inspiration or something that would get my mind off the stupid toilet paper post that really seems to want to be written — RIGHT UP UNTIL I TRY TO ACTUALLY WRITE IT. Stupid toilet paper.

Anyway. I found many a journal, most of which have, mmm, maybe 15 pages filled? tops? but, of course, not THE ONE journal I was looking for.

But then I happened across a plain old manila folder, titled with my childhood nickname, Mimi, that held maybe 10 sheets of dot-matrix printer paper. Edges removed, of course.

In it, I found this gem and knew I could not write anything better. Hot damn, was I a good student.

i didn't. fucking. read. it.

i didn't. fucking. read. it.

    snort.

    and good lord, woman, you wrote like a blogger even then! and that you wrote in there, “I didn’t read the story.”? damn. little Mimi had balls.

    also: love the capitalization at each paragraph. and your use of the word weather. priceless!

      little mimi did, indeed, have balls — but i am SURE i didn’t hand this in. i wouldn’t be here today to share it with you.

    Not bad. I totally understand the overstocck of journals with only a few pages used. I filled my favorite journal to the brim and each of its replacements have barely been touched. I just hope a mental health phyisician never gets ahold of them . . .

      sister mercy, yes! i was thinking just that the other day — thank heavens my doctor never saw this one.

    You are very lucky that I never saw that report. I can’t believe your teacher did not bring it to our attention. I am ashamed, you hear, ASHAMED.

    Whoa. Lyrical genius. Prim, yet baldly dismissive of the task. Have you managed to see “Easy A” yet? A comparable scenario featuring The Scarlet Letter.

      not yet, and yes, i promise, i’ve been duly chastised and will correct the situation post haste.

      this piece adds a new level of depth to my understanding of little mer. god, i was great.

      also, i really love how this is the one you call “lyrical genius,” when last night was poetry. that? is awesome.
