(Everyone - my last post is number 2 on the Best Ever list. Just wanted to say thanks.)
I remember well my final year at school. I had given up on most subjects because they bored me but boy could I write. I looked forward in anticipation each week to our essay assignment. Once home my copybook was out of the bag and on the table. Pen in hand I was lost in my own little world for hours. I loved using big words and flowery language. I could write about thunderclouds rolling over the ominous dark mountains as lightning illuminated the gently rippling waters of the deep blue blah blah fucking blah until my hand ached.
And what for? I just wanted someone to read it and to understand it.
I became known as Mr. B+. Every week the same. A few spelling corrections, a couple of comments on grammar. Week after week the same. I tried to strike up a conversation once or twice with my teacher Mrs. Brown. All I got back was a blank look and a smile. Eventually it dawned on me that she was not really reading the stories I wrote. She was skimming and picking up the odd correction here and there.
A few weeks before the finish of term I submitted my final essay. It went something like this.
Mrs. Brown
Mrs. Brown is a fat lazy ugly cunt.
I was immediately expelled and did not finish my final term. As I walked home I felt alive and invigorated. I knew she had read and understood every single word I had written.

Nice story, I can somewhat relate due to the fact I'm still in High School.
I enjoy writing as well, although I can't go into my own little world like you could, I think I curned out a damn fine World War One-Compared-to-today Propaganda Essay.
I'm in the non-I.B. English, so I'm pretty sure my teacher actually READS mine as a relief from the stuff the drunks and stoners turn in. (No offense to Loki n' Co., for an ex-hippie you write great, I'm talking about the teenage drunks and stoners that for the most part can't spell their own address.)
