5/27/2014 8:05:32 AM

I was 10 years old and preparing to have a 2nd surgery to straighten my arm from where I broke it when I was 3. Little did I know at the time that I would have to have a 3rd surgery the same year because one of my screws would come loose while it was in the cast .

[Insert screw loose joke here]

5/27/2014 9:14:23 AM

6th grading it or running wild around the neighborhood. I feel like around that time our school schedule was set up so we were done by Memorial Day, so I'm going to guess that exactly 20 years ago I was playing Super Nintendo NHL 94.

5/27/2014 9:43:01 AM

I was playing Road Rash II on my genesis and drinking soda and generally being a goon during summer break between 2nd and 3rd grade. At least I think it was summer break by this point.

5/27/2014 11:39:33 AM

Just finishing up 5th Grade in Lexington, NC before getting ready to move to Conway, SC

5/27/2014 1:28:25 PM

^^Fuck yeah, I played the hell out of some Road Rash

5/27/2014 3:54:19 PM

Just finished 5th grade in Meridian, MS. We were starting to pack up to move to KS in a few weeks.

And I was still an only child at this time

I watched Lion King that summer with my cousin.

[Edited on May 27, 2014 at 5:00 PM. Reason : Watching film in China is one whole year behind US at that time]

5/27/2014 4:58:57 PM

^ that doesn't give us any indication of how old you were

5/27/2014 6:46:02 PM

Grade 8.
In that year, China imported 10 films from Hollywood. They were like 10 nuclear bombs dropping at the local movie market and the industry started booming.
The films are:
Fugitive
Rumble in the Bronx
Forrest Gump
True Lie
Lion King
The Speed
...... Can't remember all of them but they are REALLY good

If someone made a "30 Years Ago Today" thread now, this would be my response:

Damn I am old .

Thankfully, I still look like I looked 10-15 years ago (my friends say that), mentally feel like I felt 7-10 years ago, and physically feel like I felt 5-7 years ago .

Studied for a year in med school in Turkey (10/94 - 7/95), but did not like it, so around this time, I started sending letters to US universities to send me their prospectuses and applications. I sent letters to about 80-85 schools, which led to a stack of prospectuses 3-4 feet high. Applied to 16 schools, all through mail. Sending completed application packets cost me $160 in postage.

8/7/2015 6:35:01 PM
