My 'Goddam' Life- Ackley kid

I'm a terrific liar, its awful. I lie all the goddam time. In Pency i lived in the Ossenburger Memorial Wing. My roomate was a senior, Stradlater has his name. Anyway it was named after this big hot shot phony guy who gave a load of money to Pency. When I got back to the room while everyone was still at the game and the heating was on it was sort of cosy for a change. I then sat down and put on my red hunting hat that I bought in New York and started reading the book 'Out of Africa.' My favourite author is D.B.

While i was reading I heard someone come though the shower curtains. It was Robert Ackley, a very peculiar guy. He had lousy teeth, the whole time i have been there i never saw him brush them. He had a lot of pimples too. He hated Stradlater's guts. He went round picking up all our personal stuff while he was in our room. He was really annoying me so i started horsing around, saying 'Mother darling, give me your hand its all going dark.' it annoyed him.

Stradlater then barged in and asked me if he could borrow my hounds tooth jacket. I said ok but he had to no stretch the shoulders, we were near enough the same height, but he had wider shoulders than me and weighed about twice as much. He went to have a shave and walked round with no top on, he thought he had a dead good build, and he did ill have to admit.
