cornerofmadness says: "yay finally someone who wasn't in diapers in the 80's."

and gives me the year 1984 to reminisce about.

In 1984, I graduated from West Carrollton High School. My graduating class was 1985, but I was an underdog, sick of the bullshit, so I took my credits and ran. Seemed that the administration was very anxious to be rid of me too. I came in a couple weeks after I finished, to pick up a friend for lunch, and they caught up with me, gave me me diploma and stuff, and hurried me on out of their 'hallowed halls' as if I were poison. Good Riddance.

In 1984, I left my job at McDonalds and started at Cassanos for the first time. I'd asked for full time hours for months, and McDonalds couldn't manage to give them to me. Cassanos could. I was also very tired of the treatment I was getting from one of the junior managers.

In 1984, I dyed my hair purple and Pink. Subsequently I lost my job at Cassanos, because when I was told I had to wear a hat, I said I'd be willing, but only if everyone else in the kitchen had to wear one too. That I was not going to be discriminated against based on my hair color. After all, I was hired with bright Orange and Yellow hair.

In 1984, I turned 18 and 5 days after my birthday took a job as a live in child care provider and moved out on my own. This was the nightmare job. The people did not tell me this kid had SERIOUS behavioral issues, or that the father was a complete asshole who was the reason the kid had issues (i.e. Dad would just coddle him, and believe anything the kid said) Within a couple of months, the man had forgotten what I was hired for, and when mentioning me to others, started referring to me as 'the house keeper'.

In 1984, I drove to Cleveland for the first time.

In 1984, I lost my 'virginity' at the Rocky Horror Picture Show... in Cleveland.

That brings me to December... and it's about all I can think of from that year.
