Another epic, lol... > Ryan, I was enthralled by that story and thanks very much > for posting it. Thanx. I remember hearing about the encounter > with your high school principal a long time ago, it's a > fascinating story indeed. It was a strange time. From our second to fourth years of high school we had to pick our own subjects so I picked all the best ones in the first two years and left all the bad tones till last, which was a pretty stupid thing to do but I was an impulsive kid who didn't think. So I got to the point where I had to pick my subjects for my fourth year, and I didn't want to pick the ones I didn't want to do. I said, they couldn't make me, and I didn't pick them, period. Next year, the subjects are on my time table so I went ahead with one of them, reluctantly, but couldn't find the class room for the other one (my high school was enormous) so I just didn't go. I got comfortable with not going and the days turned into weeks and the weeks turned into months. And because I would have been sprung if they noticed me in the library all the time, I locked myself up in the toilet block and wrote. So Adam and I are in the computer rooms one day and this teacher, his name was McKinnon and he had a Scottish accent, and we all used to impersonate him. He approached me when there was about four weeks of the semester to go. And he said "come over here, I need to speak with you, sonny." "Yes, sir?" and he said "I know your dirty little secret." And I was, like, 0_0 And then it fully hit me, and I was like "Ah, fuck!" Don't ask me how I got out of it. There were so many insane rebels in my high school, and even THEY are astonished by this story. And I was so polite and generally got good grades and got along with the teachers. You have been posting on the > Rockman for 11 years? Next year will be my 9th year of at least reading Rockman. God, I feel old now. And that's strange, because I feel very young sometimes because almost everybody from high school has actually achieved something in their lives, and here I am trying to make my writing real. Wow, you have contributed so much to > this forum. It's a pity that your demos on Realm of Dreams > have been lost. Your version of "Confessions of a Vampire" > was the first thing I listened to 5 years ago. I still remember that night at the Railway in 05. I was the guest act for a Meat Loaf impersonator who appeared on Channel Nine’s "Starstruck". At one point in that performance and I don't know if it ever got captured on the recording, I heard an AUDIBLE SOB from one of the audience members. It was incredible. I just remember feeling so powerful and IN CHARGE singing that song. It was the most glorious feeling. I also > liked your version of "Only when I feel". It's a pity you > closed down "Radical Wizardry" too. I always visited that > website, and I was a member of your forum too. I closed it all down. That was something I wanted to do when I left high school, produce my shows but I just didn't have money and in the end people weren't taking me seriously, especially when I would mention all these plans that never ended up happening, simply because I was inexperienced, or they weren't good, or I couldn't get any help from anybody in the community. Not many people here ever really helped me. They didn't want to have anything to do with me because what I do is actually new and not yet another revival of "Camelot". I still have a website for my play and my book, but that's all there is. I just don't want to over-promote anything until it's all there & it's happening. It was > always a great place, what happened to the member "Hero"? > Is he still around? I haven't heard from him in a long time, though he still asks for me at night clubs or something like that. Ah well, we all have people who go through our lives and disappear, it's something we all have to get used to...but all the best. | |
