Wow. I thought I was going to transcribe a lot of this, but some of it is so embarrassing, that I'm closer to burning than transcribing it. This one mortified my mother... but I'm proud of my analogy:
"My pet's name is Tai. She is my cat, and she is playful. One thing that's humorous about her she chases the dog around, And I go to bed she jumps up starts purrrrrring and it sounds like somebody is blowing farts then she puts her claws out and starts combing my hair."
My Pet Monster [1976]
My Pet monster is called a zitto a zitto is harmless unless it gets dry, it lives under-water. it gets fangs when its dry. That's all I can tell you now I have to study it more.
[accompanied by a crayon drawing of the wormlike zitto in a water filled bowl, and a zitto that has leapt out of the water and, thus, has fangs]
[In response to an elaborate prompt as though you were a missing person. 1978]
[Why are you missing?] I'm missing because of my mother hasn't given me any of my allowance for a month. Also my report card hasn't been paid for. It's true too. [bet mom loved that one, too!]
[What habits do you have that might help recognize you?] He picks fingernails, makes "Mork" noises and picks teeth.
[Where might you be found?] A rock concert, especially a Kiss concert. A McDonalds restaurant. Hang out at school and beat up some enemies of mine...
[What things would you be likely to do?] I would play games, walk around and pet cats and dogs ... I would get a small job for people to make money to support myself.
[What are you going to be when you grow up? 1978]
I'm going to be a well known astronomer.
I would like to work for the Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin, which is the largest refracting telescope in the world.
First I would have to get a degree in some subjects such as mathematics, space and stars. Then I would have to go to the observatory to se if I could get a job there.
I would probably start with easy things, studying the planets (probably Jupiter), watching pulsating, variable and pulsar stars. Later I will use a spectroscope, prisms, photographic plates and watch quasars and planets phases and conjunction.
I might even discover a new planet or make a new scientific law or something else.
[If ____ Could Talk - 1979?]
The Earth
Yuck! I bet you'd never guess what it's like to be a planet. Two-thirds of you is coverd by water and this moon keeps trying to get away. [ooh possible Space: 1999 ref]
Also I hate those funny two-legged things that dump garbage and radioactive vrud on you. Also they dig in you and take your minerals out. When I get mad, I can make a volcano or earthquake.
Also I hate Jupiter and Saturn because they pick on me. But I say, "Pick on someone your own size!"
Christmas is a time for giving [December 1980(?)]
This Christmas I'm going to give my parents some Christmas cards and a small present. When I get my gifts, I'm not going to say, oh, I wish I got this instead, or, that present is stupid. I'll just like what I get and now want more. I wish my whole family could be at our house. But our nearest relatives live 725 miles away.
Creative Writing [1980?]
My friend and I were trick-or-treating and we came to a big mansion. We walked up the old courtyard. I began to use the doorknocker, it turned into a bat! So I knocked on the door. It was unlocked. So we checked out the hallway. We found the kitchen which was dark and musty. I yelled when I saw blood running out of the sink. We went into the dining room and saw a decapitated person seated at the table. There was a pot with a lid on it at the table. I opened it and saw the man's head in it. ...
