Synopsis: Aggie in the Rear View Mirror [WIP title]
I was a strange kid who decided to go to a strange high school. I resented crutches the way average kids resented braces (and I had those darned things too). Somehow, I made friends. I lost friends. I grew to know teachers. I learned about grammar and cell respiration, but also important things like Life, the Universe and Everything. By graduation I was a more centred, confident person...but I was also stranger, stranger than I could have imagined. Memoirs of my time working through high school, hip replacements and numerous pyjama days.
