Dear Journal~
Mark here. The kid they call "Rat-Nose". Sorry if I haven't written in here since April; been busy, trying to cope with being misplaced from that stupid storm of last month. We will be moving back to our home within the next several weeks; am bored beyond all get out!
Oh, my aunt and uncle are okay (they'll do in a pinch), but their glib attitude towards Christ has me frustrated. Still can't talk to them about salvation; they tune me out like a dead radio. So now I don't even bother; let them do my own thing, and I do mine.
School is fixin' to end within a few weeks (at about the time we move back to our house); can't wait. School is such a waste of time; I can think of better ways to utilize my time than to be holed up in a stuffy classroom for a million hours a day, hearing the same old tired lessons day in and day out!!
I'd much rather be riding my moped or skateboarding the day away! I'm a kid; hey, I gotta have my freedom from the prison life they call school!!
I may have a girlfriend: Teena Marie. She has designs on me. She's such a hottie: built right in just the correct places, long, shiny red hair, huge blue eyes that turn green when she's p'o'ed. A soft, musical voice when she speaks, a killer voice she uses when she sings. Martina McBride ain't got nothin' on Teena Marie; she's good!! (She ought'er try out for "America's Got Talent"! I'm serious; she has a VOICE!!)
Teena and me have been spendin' some time together during and after school. No hanky panky, but we do study together, eat lunch together, ride the bus together. Man, I think of her, and my palms, my body breaks out in a king-sized sweat. I think I am in lovvvvve....
Well, I gotta get dressed; still sittin' here in my underwear. Not proper school attire; ma would blow a fuse if she saw me still undressed; she hates it when I dilly-dally before school. So before she or pops blow a gasket on my behalf, I'd best get dressed and out the door, so I don't miss the bus. Take care, will write in here again!
Man, I can't wait for summer vacation!!
~As ever, your friend, Rat-Nose (Mark Ratinauer). :)
God bless you!
