2. introduction

Really, again, most of it's stuff I don't want to talk to the camera about.

I can fairly say there's some funny, funny Fairhaven stuff going on.

Even if I can't tell you about it.

Rusty, he came to school one day and he had a huge Canadian flag and he was like,

"Hey, I'm Canadian. I'm really Canadian."

So he was just walking around school all day with his big Russian hat and his Canadian flag walking around playing guitar.

Another fact about Rusty, he always carries a guitar around and is playing.

Shalanda.

Let's see...Shalanda.

There was a boy names Devon who used to go here.

I think he's now an airline pilot.

He was walking by a schoolyard one day and he saw some graffiti that was apparently extremely explicit about this woman or girl named 'Shalanda.'

And it sort of became a 'Fairhaven-ism' that is someone is giving you too much personal information you would say "Shalanda! Too much! Shalanda!"

They're kinda floating in and out from going to get lunch and coming back

and there's these kind of spontaneous meetings where people sit down at that picnic table outside

and discuss how, like make up narratives for the ads in Sports Illustrated.

Jared-ism.

It's a ...well, there's this kid that goes to our school who though, "Well, I should take this to School Meeting and say that there should be a religion called Jared-ism."

"And people should be my followers and they have to bow to me every hour."

I didn't hear much about it because I was younger when it happened.

But it was funny.

It didn't pass but it was funny.

Like this whole big group of people came in like "Jaredism! Jaredism!" They were all for Jaredism. And it didn't work.

I don't have to wear the miniskirt in spring and stuff and then in winter wear like

a fashionable trenchcoat with like bell-bottoms. Oh, pink is the new black. Orange is the new stripes or something.

I just, I say this to him every day. Not every day but I'm like "We have some crazy kids who go here." And he's like, "Yeah, that's for sure."

Is it rolling yet?

Drum roll!

He's blowing on it.

What are we supposed to do now?
