Memories

Back in the kindergarten-1st grade-2nd grade timeframe I was absolutely obsessed with Jurassic Park (it had just come out). Luckily my best friend was equally in awe, and would walk around school with his hands held in front of him like a Velociraptor. I thought this was too dorky I guess, so I just walked on the balls of my feet. I still do this when I'm at home with no shoes. I honestly feel awkward when I can feel the floor on my bare heels, unless I'm standing still.

I also had an infatuation with Jurassic Park as a child and as such found myself determined to read the book back in like... 3rd or 4th grade. Way too young to be reading a book like that. Even earlier than that, my mom actually read it to me as my bedtime story, but I think she wanted to read it too, and it was an easy way to do that without me being a little kid in the background. I know she probably edited some bits out, but thinking back on it now it is pretty cool that was was willing to do that.

I'm not sure but I think I read The Lost World around that age... or a couple years later I dunno. What I'm getting at is that I'm smarter than you.

At 14, my first time picking up a guitar to get 'serious' and learn to play, I blindly tuned to what I thought was something, then barred my index finger across the entire fret board and eeked out what I thought sounded like the first few chords to Iron Man.
