May, 1983: Where were you?
« on: May 05, 2007, 04:29:32 pm »
As Ennis and Jack were contorting a coat hanger in a trailhead parking lot:

I had finished up my sophmore year in college at a little Baptist School with a keg party that left me with a hang  over for company on my ride home in an overloaded 1971 Pontiac LeMans.

By the end of the month I was cutting grass at a State Park, and discovering the joys of guy watching sunglasses.  ;D 8)

I was 14 years old and in junior high. I really don't remember what I was doing. I was probably in love with some boy who didn't even know I was alive! LOL

May 1983.  Hmmm.

I was finishing up my sophomore year in college.  Organic chemistry, yuk.  I was getting ready to house-sit for the summer, and I would have access to a car (interestingly, David, also a green station wagon...?Nissan?).

I had a steady boyfriend then, and we went out dancing all the time then.  Good times!

Wow, are you from the Boston area? Generally where you are now?

May, 1983 was also, the first time I had sex.

I should have been dancing.  ;D

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.
