May, 1983: Where were you?
Brokeback_Dev:
In 1983 i was 22. i liked to party, but also went to VoTech... took Ophthalmic Technology. I had the aptitude for it and figured i needed to learn something where i could always get a job. I shard an apartment with another woman in St Pete, Fl. I had a few boyfriends and my first girlfriend and I partied. I really got into going to gay bars and hanging with glbt. It was the time of my life.. I was on my own away from family living downtown in a city. Thats my story...

Yeah, that is what is so wild, it is like I got to know you folks, and we have been thru the same stuff, what was it like for you? May of 1983 I was for the first time thinking "hey this is it, this is it for me" and the feelings of estacy and apprehension were running high.
And at the same time I was becoming aware of HIV, and thinking "why? why now?" :(

35 at the time, my partner Earl and I were still living in an apartment at the time (didn't buy the house till the next year). Was working for the German Military then as now. I was probably planning a trip to Newfoundland, which I took the next month.
dot-matrix:
I was 22, in my last year of my Bachelors program , I had just found out I was accepted to law school in Southern California...I thought the world was my oyster ::) I still had quite a bit of growing up to do ;)
