I don't know anybody my age. Back home. There was this fire. When I was a teenager. Wiped out my family. I left town, moved to New York for a while. Opposite side of the country. I didn't really do much until I was in my twenties. Sat inside. Worked out. Didn't talk to people. Lost contact with my friends. With everyone. Then I moved back home, and I kept to myself some more. I got caught up in some shit, which meant my first social circle in over half a decade became exclusively occupied by a gaggle of idiotic teenagers I had to babysit. So.
I don't know. I guess I kind of forgot that there are people in the world who probably experienced highschool the same time I did. I've felt pretty out of step with the rest of... everyone... for about seven years now.
