Well, I am 18 now. Nothing has changed. I joked that now I could legally buy my cans of Skoal and my copies of Swank, but seeing as how I am not really a fan of either the tobacco biz or the pornography industry, I don’t suppose it matters. Tomorrow I am graduating from high school, and I am really little to no feelings towards such a momentous occasion. I don’t know why. Anyways, I am waiting for a CD to finish burning, but it’s taking forever. The burner is an 8X RW, it’s just a slow reading drive, I suppose.

Tomorrow is my last full day of school. I just thought I would let everyone who reads this know that. I was thinking about wearing my cap and gown for the rest of the week, just so that everyone who still has school would know that me, being out of school, doesn’t have school. But then I realized how unbearably hot the bloody thing is, and so I think I will just spread the word, instead of show it.

Last night I think the sofa beat me up. I fell asleep alright, but in the middle of the night, I remember waking up, and cracking the mess out of my knee, and it hurt the rest of the night, and my hand fell asleep, and it felt like a lump on my shoulder the whole time. In essence, sleeping on anything but a bed sucks.

Yesterday, I had an epiphany. I thought to myself, what better way to end my high school career with a good prank for all those who will be left after me? In order to realize my vision, I went to the local library and picked up several texts on the art of tomfoolery, and after hours upon hours researching, I found the perfect prank. The beauty is in its simplicity; not in the bells and whistles, the surprise inside, or the mouse on the wheel. It would send the administrators reeling. The consequences of this prank will so severe, that the underclassmen will dare not under my name without lowering the eyes- I will be the god of Tomfoolery. I am sure that all 4 of your that regularly read Nothing in General are already in arms about the wicked joke I plan to enact; so here goes.

On the evening of Sunday, April 30, I will sneak into the school, and place tiny little bags in every teachers’ room, and when they go to their desk, they will suffer great chagrin. They’ll sit down to their computer, and PBBBBBBBTTTTTTT!! a resounding “fart” noise will be made! How is this possible, you ask? Well, through the miracle of modern technology, there is something known on the street as a “Whoopee Cushion,” and when someone sits on it, a large “fart” sound is made. Yes, there exists such a product! I was stunned when I first read about it myself.

It’s been a little while since I last wrote to Nothing in General, so I figured a little life story is in order because a pretty good bit of stuff has happened to me since then. Well, only a few things, but they are pretty important to me. For one, I passed out on April 15. I was in the grocery store with a couple of buddies of mine, and we were talking, and I pissed one of them off. So, he jumped on my back, and put me in a headlock. Just as I was letting out a muffled “Stop before I pass out,” I hit the ground. The rest is a blur. All I can remember is thinking to myself, why is this happening? From what they told me, I fell down twice, once in front of some lady. I can’t say I remember anything like that. What else has happened since April 13? Oh, I had Peeps and a Cadbury Cream Egg for the first time last night. Needless to say, I had a terrible headache after all that sugar. Other things have happened, and they are all very very important to me, but it would take WAY too long to express my feelings about them here.
