My Life
I just realized that I can only trace my life back to around mid highschoool. So I'm going to try to work my way back and see as far as I can go. I'm going to split the years up by school year since it makes more sense to me that way. So come along! Venture into the depths of my early schools years, my love interests, my identity and all that fun stuff. Oh, and anybody who was ever in my life, keep an eye out for details that are wrong, correct me on them too. I want an as accurate as possible recollection.
Now: In my second year of college, currently a cartooning major but I have plans of switching back into illustration. I only have a couple friends at SVA and I wish I could find some more people to hang out with. I have no major girl interests at the moment. I'm searching for a sense of self as well as working hard on improving my illustrating skills.
summer 05: Key events; Road trip to texas, Wall mural, failed gravitar project.
Last Year: My first year of college, I started out basing my opinions on other people on really shallow standards like the clothing they wore and that didnt turn out so hot. I came in as an illustration major but the first year for illustration, cartooning, fine arts and graphic design(?) are all the same so I was able to switch into cartooning at the end of it. I had a girlfriend for a couple months in the beginning of the year and that was pretty awesome. Overall my first year of college was pretty confusing, alot things I had thought I knew got flipped around on me, including what I thought of myself.
summer 04: Key events; trip to PA, celebradon, general hangoutage.
Two Years Ago: My senior year of highschool. I was still wearing ufo pants all the time and playing way too much pump it up and ddr. Still in my unrequited love slump, that ate up a bunch of time. Since most of my friends had gone off to college, this was the first year where I didnt go to grasshoppers alot and had to find other people to hang out with. I spent alot of time hanging out with Rob, Mike Purdy, and Danielle during the beginning of the year. Mayan Mike and Terence were still around so I hung out with them too. College apps and all that were going on. I was really into art at that point and decided that it was what I wanted to pursue in college. Towards the end I kinda fell out of the pump and ddr thing and started wearing ugly ass jeans. Overall this year cued some changes in my life, most were pretty superficial, some were not.
summer 03: Key events; still in the haze of youth, alot of fun was had as well as drivers ed. I still had a huge huge crush on my first love interest from highschool which made me all emo.
Three Years ago: My Junior year of highschool. The peak of my highschool crush, It was really bad and I was super emo for most of the year. It was also the first time I had a girlfriend (not the girl I was crushing on though) That lasted for an awkward month in the awkward begining of the year with lots of awkward times spent, heh, but it's so funny to look back on now. I was still hanging out at hoppers and jillians alot and I was really getting into ddr and pump. Hanging out with the guys was still in full force, Especially at places like Billies house which I oh so miss. Overall this year was frustrating in the girl department but aside from that it was jam packed with sleepovers, dominos pizza and my horrible acne! oh god!
summer 02: key events; girl interest came in full force from the previous school year. Forming strong bonds of friendship with the dudes.
Four Years ago: My sophomore year of highschool. I think it started out with me having semi long gross wet and over gelled hair that I thought looked cool, bleh. I was on the edge of becoming gothy/industrial like my now industrial super rockstar friend Chris but instead I found the ultimate power of Ska! Midway through the school year I was kinda interested in this girl and we made out a couple times, but then she introduced me to another girl who I fell head over heals for on the internet?!? oh god what a nerd I was. I was doomed before I even knew what she looked like. I lucked out and she as super cute, we hung out and I was totally going to ask her out but then she mentioned that she had a boyfriend and that shot my dreams to shit. The worst of it all was that the guy she was going out with was the guy who had been going out with the girl who I made out with and introduced me to the other girl previous to me....I dont know if that makes sense with all of the ambiguity but whatever, the same guy had ruined my shit twice in a row. He also liked to beat me up while we were on drumline before the whole girl mess, ugh. This whole thing led to a few years of horribly timed new relationships and breakups, missed opportunities and a very bitter taste to it all. This was also the year where I had become more interested in drawing; pinpointed to when I started doodling in health class.
summer 01: key events; hanging out at hoppers alot with the guys, not caring about girls somewhat, the perils of puberty.
Five Years ago: My freshman year of highschool, It was all cake walking, easy classes galore. I think that may have been a simpler time, with a clean slate and a terrible mushroom haircut. I spent alot of time hanging out with the guys, I was still "the new kid" in the group, I had only really started hanging out with them at the end of 8th grade I believe. This is where my memory gets pretty hazy, the time in and around middle school is almost entirely a blur. I think I think I really got into gaming around then. Table top wargames, collectible card games and pen/paper rpgs.
I'm going to cut this off here for now since it's now 3 in the morning and I've spent enough time recapping my highschool years already. MAybe tomorrow I will try to delve into my middle school years.
