Twister Rodriguez sat in his room setting up his camera. Over the summer, he decided it would be cool to start video journal opposed to writing in one. Once the camera was adjusted to how he wanted it, he sat on his bed, looked at the camera and started to speak.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Twister Rodriguez. I'm 15 years old and going into my sophomore year of high school. I decided to make a video journal since I hate writing and I can't spell for shit. Since this is my first video journal, I'm nervous. Let me start by saying that it's that time of year again...summer is coming to a close and school starts very soon. Although I can't really complain...I at least got to surf, skate and make new movies so I kept myself occupied. The summer was eventful, to say the least...my friend, Sam, got hurt skating home from his summer job tutoring the summer school kids. Yes, he tripped on a dog. How does one do that? In fact, that's something I'd expect me to do. So long story short, he broke his leg, can't skate and has to complete physical therapy until February and he's off the hockey team.
"Oh yeah, I forgot to mention how my other friend, Reggie, kept bailing out on hangouts because she was "sick." One day, she said she had a migraine and couldn't come to Mad Town. So being the good friends we are, we walked into her room with soup only to find her in bed...with my brother! So yeah...you can imagine how that went down. Her brother, my best bro, Otto, was about to beat him with his hockey stick before Reggie stopped him. The only words that came out of his mouth were, "You're fucking my sister! I will kill you!" and Reggie came clean that day saying they had been together way before her sophomore year but didn't know how to tell us.
"Also, Otto got a girlfriend so he's been out with her most of the time. Kind of annoying if I say. Every time I wanted to hang out with him or if we all had plans to hang out, he'd have to bring Valerie. Reggie hates her, Sam has no say. But I don't really like her either. Whatever though. Otto is my best bro and I try to be happy for him.
"So yeah...a lot went on. But I didn't come here to talk about the summer, Otto's girlfriend, the Squid or my brother and Reggie...I actually wanted to mention one thing had been dancing in my head for a while now. I don't think I'm attracted to girls. I've had these feelings ever since...well...I honestly can't remember off hand but yeah...
"I won't lie that I've been a little jealous of Otto and Valeri because I'd like to be in my sophomore year of high school and have a relationship but it feels like I'm doing something wrong. Otto had tried setting me up on double dates with Valeri's friends and it wouldn't go anywhere. In fact, it was pretty awkward how I couldn't get past first base with a girl...even kissing a girl is awkward. But anyway, whatever I'm dealing with, I will manage. I have to.
"Anyway, I that will be it for now. I promised to meet up with my friends for one last skate of the summer. I hope Otto doesn't bring Valeri. Later...much!"
