I was a shy kid (Memories of a not-so-suave Scribbles)

BEST CONDOM COMMERCIAL EVER!!!

*I remember high school, I had a crush on this one girl(Grace) for 3 full years (initially mentioned in Honest Scrap post), maybe more, I was never able to pluck up the courage to speak to her. 3 YEARS!! Well, sorta. She even flirted with me once in JS2

I like your hair, it's really soft. She touched my head

I blushed, said Thank you, and turned away. If that was me today, hmm..lets just thank God it wasn't

*Even my first year at Ann Arbor College, this girl asked me to "braid her hair"(the one I got naked from my 2truths and a lie post).
I hesitated, I dont know how.

She said, You can learn on me

I somehow chickened out sha. If that was me today,she woulda been sportin' jagged cornrows the next morning...and a limp.

I'm the guy who turned down sex with a beautiful woman because I perceived her as a "good girl" and I didnt want to disrespect her by taking what was offered. I was thinking, "She's a great girl, wifey material." She never spoke to me again. I think that's what changed me.

The guy who, at 16, didnt know what to do with a girlfriend. All we did was hold hands. The guy who had his first real kiss at age 20.

In high school, I was what you might consider a geek. I still am to a certain degree. I was never part of a 'crew' but I did have four close friends;

• MDD; he's my oldest male friend. Not very wise to the ways of the world. He was in his own video game playing, Man U supporting world. He wised up quick tho, even before me.


• PhatAl; poor guy was the new guy in JS3, so he got stuck with the geeks, us.


• Stan; massive Eminem fan, i'm actually no longer in touch with him. I hope he's doing well.

We were in our own world, oblivious to anything that occured outside our little circle.

MDD, the bastard(he gets a proper intro 2moro), was the one who leaked the secret of my 3 year crush to the entire school. Funny thing, Grace's best friend was also a friend of mine. Her advice, go talk to her. My response, well I didnt really respond, I was quaking in my loafers. Ah well, what could have been.

Since I left high school, emboldened by the protection of distance, a few girls have come forward and declared they had a crush on me, including a girl I sat next to for a year, and another girl I considered one of the high school 'elite'. Thinking back on it now, she made it pretty obvious; brushing her unmentionable bits against me when she walked past, standing quietly next to me at random moments. This girl was hot, debatably the hottest in our set. Yet, idiot teenage Scribbles was oblivious to it all, eyes only for Grace. More missed opportunities.

I guess I spent my shy years observing, learning (they used to call me 'The Sponge') and when my confidence picked up...well.... I dont know how it happened, but I became the Scribbles you know and love. Thing is, I dont really consider myself smooth, or suave (although I have been described as such). I just try to be myself no matter the situation, while at the same time working to improve that self.
