I Probably Have Fundamentally Antisocial Tendencies. I Never Took One Extracurricular Activity. I Just Failed Utterly At That Level. Part Of Me Still Rebels Against That.

I Really Enjoyed Hanging Out With Some Of The Teachers. This One Chemistry Teacher, She Liked Hanging Out. I Liked Making Explosives. We Would Stay After School And Blow Things Up.
