FOUND by Clarence Robinson
in Wilmington, Delaware
Found in the used books section at the Gordy Plaza Goodwill near Wilmington. Just what does "fening for a cigarette" mean? Val, honey, you can do better.

"Fening for a cigarette" is slang for another slang term "fiending for a cigarette," which means that you really, really want a cigarette. You want it bad, like a fiend, hence "fiending."
I know 8th graders who write like this... -___-"
peace, and some love.. just a little in case love is somehow offending.
oh jeff. he's trying, at least
Hahahahaha. Aww he's trying to sound cool feening for a cigarette! That's sad.
This is funny and probably the sweetest Jeff is gonna get :)
It says one love, not some love.
YOUR HOT? her hot what?
He meant Feening, which is to crave a ciggarette, my old friend Alex used to tell me he was feening like everyday in ALC, got quite annoying actually.
yeah I remember saying that that I was feeming for lots of things back in the day. This note is so classic, I probably still have soem like this saved feom middle school
JB- it says Peace, One Love.
Jeff's a gangster. Word.
anyone else notice that it says "he SEEM me.."...like i know he's tryin to say "he seen me", but basically jus decided to go phonetic...i wish i didn't care about the way i spelled, haha
Well I think it's kind of cute how he tried to fake like he was on recon for his "boy" and then decided to go for it. Then he had to move on to the subject of cigarettes to ease the out-on-a-limbness of it. Forgive the grammar and spelling and remember that there is a very human heart out there belonging to Jeff.
I long for the day when incredibly stupid phrases like "Holla at me" disappear.
I bet the girl melted when she read this, then ran off to tell her friends.
Jeff sounds like so many well-meaning idiots I know, except for the "feening for a cigarette" part.
The kid was hella board in detention, so he thought abt a gurl who seems hot? but with those smooth lines, the most action he'll get is with freshmen!!
p.s. he's 2 dam young 2 be smoking, he should b workin on his D- game!
This is adorable. It's a combination of a constructed presentation of coolness and stream of consciousness. The reveal that it's him is just great.
This reminds me of Matt's note. (Look up the find called "A Damn Test.") Maybe they're friends.
I love this note. Very sexy
I remember when i was younger and use to wirte Waz and an arrow pointing up in my notes to friends ...Funny.
i just want to know: val did you give jeff a chance?!
I've heard that "fenning" comes from "fixing to" or "wanting to." I want to hurt you = I'm fenna hurt you. Not sure if that's the same here.
I like how he was going to put "what's up" but rather decided to go with "waz ^" because he thought it was cooler.
aww jeff. you know...you had the guts. thats cute. ur trying too hard tho bud. i bet vals pretty sweet haha
I love this rambling note. Screw this, it's me that wants to know. I'de love to get a note like this.
I'm just thankful he didn't use the word "chillaxin'"... he would have never won her heart that way.
I'm always feigning for a cigarette. You see, I'm a bum, but instead of just sitting there in a doorway shiftlessly begging, I put on little performances (mainly celebrity impersonations) for my money (and smokes). If someone wants to see a Robert DeNiro bit, I feign mobsterism. If they want Alanis Morissette, I feign complete and utter talentlessness. And for Eddie Vedder requests, I chug a bottle of NyQuil, stuff my mouth with an athletic sock, and then feign deepness.
dude, this is ridiculous and very, very sweet at the same time.
my only question is, why is he writing her a note? i thought we got past passing notes in middle school. I mean, he could have at least texted her. i'm in the tenth grade and we don't even pass notes anymore.
but at least he's trying. i love that he's like, screw it. i wanna know. that takes a lot of guts.
Funny, Funny find.
Crazy thing is, it brought such a smile across my face even with the bad language, grammer, and spelling because I remember these days all too well....walking through passing period and a guy slipping you a note.
Brings butterflies to my heart now, thinking back. Although not well educated (yet?), it's still nice to have someone think of you, like you, want to get to know you.
Some people would love to have a kiddie, lame note given to them today...and they are adults.
It's nice to have your youth brought back to your remembrance....and I'm 21!
Always wanted to get such a romantic note from the boy who is always sitting in detention.
lol this reminds me of some of the notes i had seen in Middle school.. too cute adolesent hookups
Holla atcha boy.
Holler? At your boy? Is that the phrase? What's it mean? Where's Andre?
like everything else here, this is just depressing. you know that val isn't going to give him the time of day, then he'll get detention just one too many times, and he'll string himself up by the ceiling fan.
this boy needs to learn english
