Anything for a Moped.

This story by Dawn De Winter, posted on Crystal's Story Site is one of the funniest around. I first read it years ago, it was posted in 2001 and I've been re-reading it recently.
As a non-American, I don't know how true the portrait it paints of the US schools system and gangs, but I found it extremely more-ish. I also don't know how true the picture of middle America is, it's set in Des Moines, Iowa. Is Dawn still writing, because I don't see anything posted after 2003?
For those who haven't tried it, it is very clever, although there are one or two typos, and I thoroughly recommend it, oh, and be prepared to laugh out loud.
Angharad.
