Rhys -
Really great job with this draft! This is an interesting, insightful analysis. Most of my comments are local - see margins. A larger question I have concerns potential objections to your characterization of Texas public schools. You paint a very totalizing picture of a school system that has succeeded in stiffling student creativity and preventing free thought. And yet, you (I assume) and...
A Word From My Self-Concept
Rhys Southan Health I 8-26-96
Overall, I feel good about myself. In school I get satisfying grades, but that may directly relate to the fact that I didn’t take any classes that seemed unnecessary or overwhelming. I also only have six classes this year, so I can spend more time getting the homework finished. The classes that I did take, for the most part, were interesting to me, or seemed...

Dear Rhys (or whatever you have renamed yourself),
Welcome to the present. It is now the 21st century and I imagine gene splicing is running rampant. No matter, I hope you are now somewhat of an important presence in the field of film, or the futuristic equivalent of film.

I guess you have an interesting life and that you wouldn’t trade it for anyone else’s;
I guess you’re a weirdo, but not an unlikable one;
I guess there are people who care about you even if you never see them;
I guess you’ll find your way and be happy;
I guess at the end, you won’t think, “Well that was an enormous waste of time.”
I guess it’s...
Other Superstitious Causes of Bad Luck
Walking under a ladder, breaking a mirror, stepping on a crack and spilling salt are behaviors best avoided because of the detrimental effect they have on future luckiness. Here are some others:
* Falling off a bridge (4 years bad luck)
* Flicking a wasp’s nest (9 months bad luck)
* Going all in with a 7/2 against pocket aces with two aces and a king on the flop (100 years bad luck)
*...

My Zygote
It is forbidden to love you, You product of our genes; When Chloe held you on her finger, You were more than what you seemed.
“What do you think this is?” She asked me of your fleshy, warped pink skin; “A scabby speck of blood,” I yawned coldly, “You’re shocked you’ve had a period yet again?”
“I show you all my periods,” she stammered, “You should know none look like this.” “Maybe you have...
