| 10:40 PM - my ramblings as a 10 year old weirdo
Current mood:  dorky I'm home for Thanksgiving weekend and found a bunch of old floppy disks in my closet. One of them is simply chock full o' gems--apparently I had my own file on my dad's computer when I was in fourth and/or fifth grade, and I was just as verbose then as I am now. Below you'll find some highlights...enjoy, if you dare (and if you're as bored as I at this juncture!).
1. A scary story with hints of erotic language...
Story Two
Late at night, a woman was aroused by her mother's cat scratching at her head. The woman just pushed the cat away. The cat continued scratching, so the lady was forced to rise. The cat led her to the stairs where the lady's mother lay.
SHE WAS . . . DEAD!!
2. A letter to Santa in 5th grade. My parents were well aware that I was onto the whole Santa thing for years at this point, but I wanted to pretend all the same. The post-script is the best, though my request for a Simpsons journal from that cheesy store at Perimeter mall is pretty hot, too.

Dear Santa,
I really want a remote control car for Christmas. I also want a diary- WITH A LOCK, so people can't snoop. If it's not too hard for you, could you please make it the Maggie Simpson diary at East 57th? I know you can make one in your workshop exactly like it. I really am looking foward to some books. I always have to read books over and over again because I've read all mine. Mom has bought some I picked out, but I want you to surprise me with one you chose. I want lots of other things, but I don't want to load you down. Also, could you get the movie "THE SNOWMAN" for Julie?
Love,
Janet Geddis
P.S. Could you please buy me the game "Mall Madness"? I'll love
ya for it!!!
3. Hilarious 1991 swim camp summary. (Laryssa will have to read this since she went to the same US Air Force training camp...) Something to note: at this stage in my life, my sister Julie & I used the word "bop" rather liberally. Also, check out the killer last line. I was a charmer even then...
camp was lots of fun, I met tons of new friends,even a bop who lives here in Georgia in Sandy Springs. My best friend there was Tina Arnold, she lives in Scottsdale, Arizona. My second best friend was Malia, and she was also my roomate at camp. I can't wait to go next year, cause it was so much fun except for a chlorine rash I got on my legs.
4. To this day, I am famous for starting stories that have no end. Here is an excerpt from a classic Halloween 1991 tale entitled "The Unknown Power" from J. Evelyn Geddis herself:
"Trick-or-treat!" they yelled.
"Oh, my! What a scary bunch!" said Mrs. Whitney, as she put
candy in each bag.
Monica and Carol exchanged looks that said, HOW GEEKY!
5. Time for 7th grade, and the (temporary) apathy had already set in:
ŠtODAY WAS SCHOOL REGISTRATION DAY- HOW DEPRESSING CAN IT BE?
6. An excerpt to my no-longer-with-us grandparents, which is cute but a bit sad. I am describing our trip to Disney World when I was 11.
MGM STUDIOS WAS NEAT. THE STAR OF "THE HOGAN FAMILY" AND "DAYS OF OUR LIVES" WAS THERE. JULIE RAN UP TO THE CAR HE WAS IN AND SHOOK HIS HAND!
7. Had I no sense of double entendre back then? Here's an excerpt from my speech when I ran for student council in 6th grade...
Hi. I'm Janet Geddis. I'm running for Student Council Secretary. I'm glad I made it this far, but I'd like to go farther. I know I can do the job well. I'm so excited!
8. Embarrassingly, I still scribble my first, middle, and last names out at least fifty times during each class... I am just as weird as ever. Do you still love me?
DUKAPA GEDDIS IS MY DAD'S NAME MARY CAROL IS MY MOMS!
JANET AND JULIE ARE US
JANET GEDDIS IS A WEIRD GIRL ...
I BET NO ONE IN THIS WORLD IS NAMED JANET EVELYN GEDDIS!!!
MY NAME IS JANET EVELYN GEDDIS SAID
JANET GEDDIS IS ME NAME ISN'T' T THAT WEIRD?
Janet Geddis is my name goin' on trips is my game
Janet Geddis is my name, swimming in a swimming pool is my
game!!!
janet geddis is a weird name for a person, boy or girl.
9. I solved that little homelessness problem we've been having in this here section of my 1990 masterpiece.
IF I COULD CHANGE THE WORLD ...
If I could change the world, it would not be a perfect world for there would be no fun or adventure in it. It would be a world of no pollution and no littering. What is the point of littering?
No one would litter because it just makes the world harder
to live in.
Why do people think they are more important than animals to
go as far as to take their homes for office buildings and apartments? That's what my question is.
Many people in the world are homeless. If I could change the world, we would build shelters on land that animals didn't have homes on and we would find all the homeless people in the world and they would not be homeless any more-ever again.
