   Life Story pt 2
Here is my next post about my life story. I hope you enjoy it. When we moved to Portales New Mexico we soon figured that we needed our own house instead of an apartment and as a result we rented a house in a nearby town called Clovis. Our house was one story tall with a big living room that u see when you open the door and it also had several bedrooms off to the right and the kitchen to the left. It took us several weeks to get settled in but after we did we went out to meet the neighbors. Next door to the left was a family that also moved here recently and their last name was Sipher. (One thing I forgot to mention last time was that I was always homeschooled for my whole life up to this point). This family also homeschooled their kids since all of them were dislexic (correct me if I have the wrong spelling). They had two boys and a girl. The oldest one was a boy called Steven who was 15 at the time I first met him in 1998; he was an avid toonami fan (also I didn't have cable back so I didn't know what it was), and he also was a hardcore gamer. His dislexia was very minor so he didn't have many problems usually. The next oldest was the other boy called Michael and he was 13 when I first met him. He got hit hard with his dislexic disease because he couldn't even make out the letters correctly. One thing that was really bad that he was also a mentally retarded man (not just stupid, I mean seriously retarded), and his favorite hobby was watching slapstick comedy movies and cartoons. The youngest one was Victoria who was 12 years old. Her dislexia was also minor and she became a close friend to my sister Natalie. We soon became friends with them and also other kids on the block. Steven Sipher introduced me to anime when I was 8 when he showed Matthew and I gundam wing episodes for like 3 hours. One thing that he had that we didn't also was an N64 with starfox64 and 007 goldeneye, but actually we spent most of our time outside usually if the weather was good playing with my laser tag set that I got with my birthday. Matthew, Steven, a 14 year old guy called Nathan, another kid called Joshua who was 15 I think and I would play for hours and we would our front yard, backyard (which had a little hand made wooden shack which we transormed into a fort), and the Sipher's back and front yard. Sometimes we would also included the alley way behind us. If there was too many people to play laser tag like if the girls, my younger brother Mike, or another kid called Dallas joined in we decided to play tag with a twist. Instead of traditional tag we would play jail tag in the dead of night (Jail tag is tag where people who get caught get sent to the garage until other people tagged them out and you have 3 lives and if you run out of lives you are it). On rainy or just bad days we would gather at the Sipher house and play goldeneye. After the first year there we managed to gather other occasional people like a 12 year kid called Bradley Struthers who was a friend of mine for a long time and you will hear about him a lot. Also we had Nathan's little brother Zack who turned 8 and we considered him mature enough to hang around us. Another person was Nicholas who's actually was Bradley Struthers best friend. (The reason I am giving so much background is for further rteferances to other stories about them). I now have to go, I will write part three soon.
