“I was canoeing in the Palmer Rapids and everyone was putting on helmets and life jackets and jumping off a rock into the rapids. I was so nervous, but after I did it once and it was so much fun, I decided I’d do it again even though no one else was (classic me). When I jumped off the rock I did it wrong and hit my shin. I hurt myself all the time doing wacky things, usually at dance parties.”
“Why do you think you’re constantly doing those kinds of things?”
“I have ADD, so I’m always moving—I never sit at home and watch TV; I haven’t had a computer for a year; reading isn’t even a possibility in my life. I get home and I want to do something immediately. I message friends asking if we could meet up at the Canal, or if they could teach me guitar… anything. My friend is teaching me how to flame throw. My goal for the summer is learn how to beat box.”
