I was born in Washington State in America, and I have lived here my whole life. Most of my life was spent in a small hick town in the middle of nowhere. It's so small there are only six stoplights in the whole town.
During most of my childhood I was either in a private Christian school or being home schooled. My parents were very strict Christians, and I attended church quite frequently. All in all I led a very sheltered life. Luckily, things began to improve when I started high school.
In high school my mother allowed me to attend public school (something I had been begging for for a while). True it was just the little local school, but it was better than home school.
Once there I began to learn all sorts of new things. Well, they were new to me, though all of my friends thought I was deprived! Freshman year I learned about Kurt Cobaine and Nirvana, as well as Marilyn Manson. Sophomore year I learned about marijuana. Junior year I learned that Magnolia is not a street in Seattle, it's an entire fucking area! Senior year I learned never to turn your back on a coward who's talking shit to you because they will use that opportunity to attack you.
Yes, I know that this is all basic, elementary stuff, but I didn't know these things before high school. In fact, I was so deprived growing up that I'm still learning these basic things. Since graduating high school I've learned about The Smurfs, The Simpsons, Insane Clown Posse, strip clubs (you have to pay to work there!), and various other things.
After graduating high school I went to Marine Corps boot camp. Due to heavy tendonitis in my wrists (I could no longer move my hands at one point) and the fact that the place sucked, I got out. I've since been engaged twice, but neither of them worked out.
I am currently in the process of moving to a large, urban area! My daughter is doing well, and I love watching her grow up! Recently I began seeing someone who I've liked for six years! Which just goes to show that things work out in their own time if you're patient! Wether it will work out, I don't know, but I think it will, and a positive attitude is always a good thing to have!
