Just Me

My Childhood

Hello! Yes, I am actually doing something that is involved with my life, as this book was originally intended for. I do enjoy the silly joke segments, and I know all of you do too, but I thought maybe I should start sharing some stuff about myself again more extensively. I'm pretty sure there are people that are thoroughly interested in hearing about myself, even though I'm surprised anyone would. I have no idea how long this segment will be, but I'll go on for as much as I need to. So, let's begin.

---

As most of you might know by now from the very first chapter of this book, I am Hispanic. This is important because literally the entire region where I live is comprised of 90% of Hispanic people. I live in the state of Texas in what is known as the RGV region. This region is heavily flourished with Hispanic culture and, so far, still depends on it to this day.

I'm a millennial baby, born in 2000. I'm pasty as fuck and smol, as I've stated before too. My childhood consisted of living in two seperate houses; with my mom and with my dad. (I still have yet to post a Home Life pt. 2, the one with my dad, but that one is still complicated to this day and there's no easy way to sum it all up.)

I'm gonna state this right now, with my mom I grew up on Tim Burton movies, Happy Tree Friends, and old, creepy or quirky PS2 games (anyone remember that The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy game? That was mah shit, mang). I also grew up on music like Depeche Mode, Slipknot, Ramstein, Tool, you name it. That was mostly my mom.

I loved watching Disney Channel, and yes...I loved Hannah Montana at one point. What little girl didn't? At an early point in my childhood, my mom and my ex-step dad always moved around from apartments to relatives homes in a hunt for a proper house. They finally had that proper house for eleven years until, early 2016, my mom had to sell it and I now live in an apartment (it's not so bad).

Oh yeah, I fucking loved Care Bears and had the old ass cartoons. I was one of the kids that was still influenced by the 90s, so most of the stuff I liked was from that time. I had Spyro and stuff, like who even remembers that??? I sure as hell didn't for a while.

With my dad, it was mostly the same, except my television entertainment ran on plain cable TV and DVD movies. With him, I could watch Family Guy and South Park, the whole works! We had collections of movies, enough that we had two floor to ceiling shelves to hold most of them. I was super into My Littlest Pet Shop and a whole bunch of other girly stuff.

Omg, I remember I had the first NintendoDS and it was sky blue. I had some pretty good games on there, one of the best probably being Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks but I never finished that shit because I got stuck at one part... I also had the Hannah Montana: The Movie game (yes there was a fucking game) and when I finished it, for some reason I couldn't do a New Game. Like, what the hell?? At the end, everyone knows she's fuckin Miley Cyrus and shit and she's stuck in her granny's house in Tennessee because paparazzi would swarm her if she left. So all I could do was fuckin change my outfit, walk around and that's it! Granny was like "oh don't go outside, blah blah blah" fuCK YOU GRANNY. LET ME SEE THE DIGITAL WORLD OUTSIDE. WHO EVEN MADE THAT GAME AND WHY DID THEY MAKE IT SO THAT IT WAS A ONE TIME THING AND BLAM GAME'S OVER YOU CAN NEVER PLAY THIS SHIT AGAIN?!?? OH YEAH, HERE'S THIS BIG HOUSE AND YOU'VE GOT ALL THE OUTFITS THAT YOU'VE COLLECTED THROUGHOUT THE GAME BUT YOU CAN'T. FUCKING. LEAVE.

*cough*

Ohhhh, and I also had a pink Gameboy Advance SP!! I loved that thing! It was the best! I played Super Mario on that thing and...and other games like...idk, Tetris? I didn't have a single Pokemon game for crap, which is weird because I'm pretty sure those were most of the well known ones... Uhm... I don't remember a lot of the games I had. But the Gameboy was still badass! Toted that thing around like a queen. Always felt this sense of joy when I saw those rainbow colors in the tiny, square screen say GAMEBOY. Mmmmmm.
