Hahahahahaha ! That is amazing . <| sep |> It taking place in the following year doesn ' t mean that an actual year has passed though . If HoT happened near the end of the year and LS 3 near the beginning of the next year , it could also have taken anywhere from a day to a month . <| sep |> How was your normal everyday life in your youth ? 1621 yearsHated high school . Couldn ' t wait to move out on my own and did so at 18 shared an apartment with 2 other people . Moved to a city , got a shitty job , went out to see bands , lived with lots of roommates . How was the atmosphere of your home situation ? The social roles of your parents ? And how did you communicate ? Single mom who often worked swing shift , meaning I had the house to myself in the afternoons and ate cereal for dinner . We communicated ok . I was a typical kid who didn ' t enjoy chores around the house . What meaning did school have for you ? Loathed high school due to my own social maladaption , mainly . Couldn ' t imagine continuing that with college . I thought I might be able to scrape by wo a college education , and I just barely have been . I might be right on the cusp where you could sneak through the door of some workplaces wo having a degree . Though my earning potential and options are pretty reduced now . I could have gotten all kinds of Pell Grants that would have paid for college completely , probably , but I didn ' t know financial aid was for white people . bad I know . I thought it was for deeply impoverished city kids . But I was poor enough I think I would have qualified for everything . How did you and your friends spend your free time ? How important were your friends to you , and how did they affect your evolution as a person ? We did a lot of low budget things like riding bikes and going swimming as teens . On our own we hung out at each other ' s apartments and sometimes got stoned and walked around . We saw bands at night , but that was pretty cheap . No drinking too expensive , and we weren ' t big drinkers . Tech Too cheappoor to buy new stuff . Had used guitar gear , used reel to reel tape recorder . 35 mm film camera . That analog stuff was really hard to use and soundedlooked shitty if you didn ' t get it right . Even when I learned to develop my own film and print my own pictures , I would only get 2 or 3 good pictures per roll of film , on average . I had no tech savvy friends , no audiophiles . We never changed the needles on our cheap turntables . Everything was clunky and not too convenient . How was love in your youthful days ? Did you meet your current life partner during this time ? It would have been great , but unfortunately I was too shyintroverted to figure out how to havesustain a relationship successfully . I occasionally had some nice dates but I couldn ' t keep anything going . It took until my 30 ' s to get comfortable marginally competent at dating .
