So 6th grade sucked.....blah blah it did for you too I know, but the interesting thing is if I know you I probably met you around this time. Yes many of you were with me in the early days, 3rd grade on but many of you joined up with me when we started Jr. High. all the elementary schools merged that year into one melting pot.
I don't know if it was the summer before 7th grade or in the middle of the 6th, but as you know I had been expelled and sent back to the elementary school, the next year I moved back to the Jr. High and was just like every other kid, except I liked to drink. I had friends that liked to things that werent allowed also but chewing a pinch of snuff behind the back stop wan't the worlds worst crime. "you know who you were" .
SIDE NOTE: Your secrets are safe with me, I know who I did these things with, I know who I didn't do these things with but I will not "out" anyone in this blog, this is about you understanding me not me telling others about you.
7th. grade was when I met some of my best friends that I still have to this day, I remember being part of a group for the first time and I remember not being part of that same group. My weekdays were hanging out with the Clique.... then my weekends were spent doing things that I wanted to do, Skating was one of those things and I can tell you that I was the only one of my "friends" that was willing to that , so I had more than one set of friends, weekday and weekend.
Note that at this time I was attending Alateen meeting every tuesday and met new people, many of whom I ran into on a daily basis, it was good to know that I wasn't alone. I attended AA meetings with my grandmother, not as often as Alateen but she knew there were problems and she had been sober for 35 years so when she said "we are going" we went...homework done or not.
Somewhere along this line we moved out of the Auburn house and in with friends, I don't know the dates but I do know I was still in Jr. High, I remember because one day I missed the bus and jogged to school, yup I jogged. we live off of Shirland Tract and I jogged to E.V.Cain. this only means something to people who know Auburn, but it is a long way for a 7th grader to trek and get to school semi on time.
Moving on. the remaining two years before High School were kind fo boreing Ill get into that mess in the next post.
I wanted to get past this childhood crap for those of you who didn't actually take an interest in it. I think in the next few posts I shall go into my addiction of people who were addicted to me during this time and what I had to do to insure they stayed around.
