1 – This particular issue of Disney Adventures Magazine may be the most important and influential artifact recorded or mentioned in the pages of these journals. The monsters depicted in this issue would find their way into an abnormally large percentage of the entries from that year. I know you can’t stand the suspense, but I implore you to be patient.
2 – At this point I felt it was necessary to scan the page that accompanies the journal entry, because this really has to be seen. It is important to note that I was surprised and/or shocked enough to include only “WHOWIE” on the second page. Yes, I did reproduce the drawings using only freehand. Skills.

3 – Next to this entry, my teacher wrote “Topic?” because, as per usual, I simply responded to the topic instead of copying it down. I don’t want to rag on Mrs Robertson too hard after the fact, but how stupid could you be to not recognize the topic you yourself created based on this entry? I’m still embarrassed for you here, and this was fifteen years ago.
BONUS ENTRY: Eighth Grade Journal – August 29. 1996
“Die You Stupid Fool!” He Yelled.4 I Rolled To The Right As The Sword Hit The Dirt. I Quickly Got Up. “This Time You Will Not Be So Lucky!” Nate Said. He Swung The Sword And It Cut My Arm. I Dropped My Staff. I Picked It Up And Ran.5 Soon I Found An Abandoned Hut. I Went In. “I’ll Find You, Foolish Boy!” Nate Said. As He Walked In I Jumped Down From The Ceiling And Knocked Nate Out. I Dragged His Body Back To Where The Rest Of The Guys Were. After An Hour He Woke Up. “I’ll Kill You Boy!” Nate Said. “If I Wasn’t Guy I Would Have Killed You By Now.” I Said. “Oh Yeah,” He Said.6
5 – Textbook Guy Spriggs bravery, fictional or otherwise.
6 – I submit, for you, the greatest three lines of back-and-forth dialogue in the English language. Savor.
I like that you don't list the topic. It's like a game within the journal where I get to guess what topic might have sparked such a response.
ReplyDelete"What are twelve things about football that you like (make sure to include at least five abbreviations)?"
More than the use of the abbreviations, I like the randomness of the things I listed. Pretty wild.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the topics, some of them can be difficult to understand. Maybe I'll have to figure out how to construct a poll around here.
