I’m a messed up person, but I know there are people much worse off than I am. I have NLD, non verbal learning disability, which isn’t that bad. But when I was a kid my parents took me everywhere to find out what was wrong with me. I was diagnosed with everything from ADD, to OCD, to ESUD. (Extremely screwed up disorder.) But like I said, that isn’t that bad. In fact, my worst problems probably aren’t caused by my ‘disorder’. I’m lazy as hell, and tend to procrastinate, but ill worry about that later. I over analyze things. Like just the other day, we were having our school bus evacuations. The teacher was making a joke….or an actual reference….i couldn’t tell. He said that one of his students was on a bus that got into an accident and rolled 7 times, and the only reason they survived was because of the bus evacuation protocol. Now, that seems extremely unlikely but that wasn’t the first thought that crossed my mind. Of course, I had to wonder, “How did they know it rolled 7 times? Was there just some kid sitting there counting each roll?” That’s the kind of thing I would do, seeing as I’d probably be the only kid wearing his seat belt. I’d be sitting there watching everyone roll around and laugh as I counted each roll. “1 weeeee, 2 weeeeeee, 3 weeeeee…..”and so on. I also have very limited motor skills. I’m not completely hampered, but my fine motor skills and handwriting suffer. I can’t draw, I can hardly drive, and I can’t even do the awkward turtle…..if you don’t know what that is look it up. They have a sign language club at my school, yet for some reason any time I attempt this I end up flicking someone off…..hm, that doesn’t seem right. I’m also a wrestler….wait, that’s not an issue. Whatever, its led to some funny situations. The wrestling has made me very violent in the off-season. I turned Ultimate Frisbee into a contact sport!

“Dude! Why’d you tackle me?

“I’m sorry! I just got really into it!”

“We’re on the same team!”

Oddly enough that’s an actual conversation….. As you can imagine though, I get a lot of gay jokes. My friends periodically refer to wrestling as ‘raping other men’. In fact, my friends at my lunch table once made a joke near my birthday. They told me they were going to get me a bedazzler…once again, look it up. I laughed and went with it saying that I’d bedazzle my singlet. As if the tight outfit couldn’t get any gayer! Unfortunately, I only got a wii game; I was very disappointed as you can imagine………………………………I just got side tracked and was looking at my i-pod notes. I have a note entitled, “Accepted value of a rubber stopper.” Huh, that’s odd. Anyway, I think I’m just about done ranting this time. If anyone has actually read this I’ll be ranting again soon……maybe…..eh, whatever, I’ll get to it eventually.
