captain_slinky1) Stick to your goals and don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't open that Comic Book Store.
2) You know that nagging voice in your head that tells you you're probably wrong all the time? It's wrong; you're right.
3) Andy Ferguson and the crowd he hangs ith are NOT your friends; they're mocking you. Go take a dump in his locker.
4) Everyone was right - You *DO* start getting interested in Sex eventually, and you really ARE just a "Late Bloomer".
5) Stick with that job at McDonalds, even when you feel like quiting. The perfect moment will eventually come and you just won't be working there any more, but you'll have al those experiences!
6) Stay away from booze, smokes and dope. I know you already do that, but it really defines your adult life.
7) Take care of The Farm and never take it for granted. Some day it WILL be gone, too soon.
8) Listen to Todd Oakes. He is the Obi-Wan of Nerdosity who shall open doors for you that you have never even imagined.
9) If you're going to bag, never just bag... bag AND board. The boards help absorb a bit of that acid that slowly eats away at the paper. Otherwise you may as well leave the whole collection unbagged so it can breathe
10) Go talk to Matt. He's got this crazy Math teacher at Whitman College, says he's making a card game based on astract mathematics. Calls it "Magic: the Gathering"...

Date: 2007-07-10 03:45 pm (UTC)I knew Andy Ferguson from the time he was in kindergarten. We did a co-operative Christian home school thing together. His favorite thing to say was "Cool man truck!" He got teased by the older kids for it naturally. But every now and then I'll think something is awesome and "Cool man truck!" will come flying out of my mouth before I know it.
