luckily I know none of you.... here it goes...

I was the laughing stalk of my 7th grade class even without my cousin's help... but for my 13th birthday... he sent into my classroom Rosie the Gorilla... a giant lady in a Gorilla suit in a pink tutu carrying balloons, flowers, and a bottle of bubbles..... placed a crown on my head... sang and danced before me, dragged me from under my desk, kissed me, and left the room trauncing in a flirtacious manner........

I couldn't find enough bullets for my head that day......

Well, at the first band

Submitted by starmo93 on April 21, 2008 - 17:30.

Well, at the first band concert of the year we had to walk down from the band room, across the front of the auditorium, and then find seats. It would've been fine, but we had to step over these bleacher things. Of course i (the clumsiest person on earth) had to trip and make a huge crash in front of everyone. I didn't fall, but everyone heard and saw me. Luckilly i was just able to laugh it off, being i'm so used to tripping, running into walls, and those sort of things... stop staring at me! i'm not that weird... lol
