AliceTheOwl Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Re: The Last Word The worst any boy did was pushing his books out of his locker while I was underneath it. (Our lockers stacked, and my locker was under his.) It wasn't retaliation or anything; apparently, he just thought it would be funny.

Cancer Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Re: The Last Word Somebody dumped a handful of worms into one girl's locker. She was all but certain it was me, but as usual I got the credit for someone else's genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Re: The Last Word I was always "the quiet one." I very rarely retaliated, but, when I did, people were REALLY surprised. Consequently, the teachers never believed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word I had occasional burst of genius one liners that got me beaten. Though when the bully that picked on me all thru middle school decided to try it in High School, he hadn't noticed the growth differences. (I was just a little taller than average at the time, I didn't really hit my last growth spurt from summer Junior year until mid-way into my freshman college) I don't think he ever got over 5'6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word When you move as much as I have, the idea of revenge is meaningless. They're out of your life forever, and that's the best thing that could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word I SO wanted to move when I was younger, for that very reason. Now that I'm grown up, I got my wish. >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word Since I never lived anywhere longer than 3 years at a stretch before going off to college ... it's a different perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word I can only imagine. I'm seeing it from the other side of things. Now, granted, I have a lot more control over what happens and where I go than you did, but it's pretty nerve-wracking to have to pick up and move about every year.

Cancer Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Re: The Last Word When you're young, after a while, you only notice when it's transoceanic. The logistics are much more involved then, and you have to do without big portions of your stuff for extended periods. And you get to wonder what the packers & longshoremen will steal this time.

lemming Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Re: The Last Word I didn't have the moving thing while young. Though I wound up moving thru school systems so I got the social move without the physical. Going to college was a very good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Re: The Last Word Well, we had a classmate who was ... peculiar.

lemming Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Re: The Last Word Depended on the parents. For me, it would of been a horrible thing. Just an extension of the hell my life was Junior & Senior year. As it was, I managed to only come home for a month between freshman & sophomore year.
