Wall, South Dakota circa 2000 Did I always know I was going to be a Gorilla someday? Makes you wonder huh? (That’s our school’s mascot if you didn’t know…) So while it’s Spring Break and we’re supposed to be blowing off steam… I’m stuck in doors in 75 and Sunny weather working on a Midterm….
So one day I ran across a list of 50 post ideas on Fat Mum Slim. One of the ideas was that thing that happened in high school that pretty much changed your life forever. Wow, now that’s deep. Truthfully there are 2 different events that happened, one happened when I was a freshman and…
