                        is proud (?)
        to present a little whatzit lovingly called:


             THIS ISN'T AN ASCII COLLY, DAMMIT!!



   What this IS is a little recap of why someone you've never
ever ever heard of is in a remorse!ascii pack.  In order to 
answer this, i'm going to tell you two versions of the same story.


        STORY #1:  I haven't been around for about 6 months, so
                   kiss my hairy white-boy ass.

        Wasn't that special.  Short and sweet, right to the point.
But somehow i figure that's not going to be enough for my die-hard
fans who have wondered where i've been (all 0 of you).  It is for
you, the loving masses, that i graciously include this, the second 
version of my story.




   Story #2:  WindRider's journey into the small town Saskatchewan

        I'm 25 and just about to finish up my degree in Education.
That's right, i'm gonna be a teacher.  Yes, i'm scared too, but that's 
not the point.  The point is that my internship took place well away 
from where i currently live.  And now i'm going to beat you about the 
head with all the details of the place.

        I was at a little school of 240 students (k through grade 9)
called St. Gabriel's in the small town of Biggar, Saskatchewan.  The 
population is probably around 1000-1500 or so.  It's got a weekly 
paper that's about 16 pages or so (no color).  There's a swimming pool,
a rink, a curling rink, and one of the biggest malting plants in 
Western Canada.

        I stayed in a nice little house (in the basement) about 6 blocks
from the school.  It's also interesting to note that i doubt there's 
anywhere in town further than 9 blocks from anywhere.  The rent was 
WAY too high, but that's okay.  And here concludes the relatively
uninteresting portion of our program.

        I taught kids age 11-14.  i was in grade 6 phys ed; grade 7
health and social studies; grade 8 social, science, art, christian ed;
grade 9 art, science, social, lit, and christian ed.  By far the best
group of kids had to be the Grade 9's.  They were a sweet bunch.

        On that topic, i realized something the day i got back from my 
four months out there.  The wife of a friend of mine used to be a 
school librarian technician (whatever that means).  She pointed out that
Grade 9 girls will flirt like mad with interns because somewhere in the 
back of their minds they think that the intern might be their boyfriend.
Now that surprised the hell out of me, but when i look back on it, all 
the signs were there.  When they found out i was going to coach the 
girls basketball team, about half the girls who came out were in grade
9, and many of them had never shown an interest in basketball before.
To be quite honest, the team stank, and bad.  but it was still fun to
be out there and interact with them.  even looking back at the video
tape i made of my last couple days out there, i can see that some of 
them were playing up to me.  I consider myself lucky to consider some of
them to be close acquaintances.  To call them friends would seem a bit
odd, since i'm 11 years older than they are.  On the other hand, Woody
Allen (age 60ish) just got married to a 20something year old.  the sick
and evil part of my mind keeps trying to tell me to look some of them
up in 3 years when they get out of high school.  But that's just sick.
Or is it....

        Let's hope that's the end of our little trip into the Pedophile
Zone.


        I just noticed that i haven't said a damn thing of interest.
Oh well, it doesn't bother me any.  I consider it practice for my future
career. h0h0h0h0h0h0.




        AND FOR YOU INTERNET FREAKS:  I set up a fairly simplistic
webpaged filled with pictures of students and staff, as well as some 
useful info like what their names are.  Use some of the resources at 
your disposal and i'm sure you could be sending obscene mail to them in
no time at all.

  THE WEBPAGE ADDRESS IS:   www.geocities.com/SoHo/3126/intern.htm
        Take a little peek at the student pictures.  If you email me
your list of your top 5 'future heartbreakers', then i'll let you know
just what they're like, or something like that.  I'm open to 
negotiation.

        And if you've hated what you've read, don't hate mail me.  Send
it all to necromancer.  It's all his fault. hahahahahahahaha.  i'm sure
he'll appreciate all your kind comments.

                        See ya in 30.
