@wendynather I would also like a bonus for being a middle child who is now cynical and disconnected.

@wendynather '80s, but...yeah.

On the plus side, I got tons of time on the school's limited computers (though, I still could've done with more Oregon Trail over Cross Country Canada).

On the other hand, I have a chorus of invisible critics that chimes in on every. single. decision.

So, you know, stuff's going /fine/...

@wendynather I always think of the "former gifts student" Halloween costume, just normal clothes. When they ask "what are you supposed to be?"
I was supposed to be a lot of things...

@wendynather @redsad 70s/80s, yeah.

To answer the question "how's it going?" Poorly. :(
