Hoops, hide & go seek, light tag, capture the flag, olly olly over, trampoline.
@Lostpoet You must have had a lot of free time. We had too much work and chores for all that.

@JustGoneNow Yeah, I never grew up on a farm but I think that would have been a better childhood.
@Lostpoet Kind of sucked sometimes in the summer when all my friends were hanging out, I was branding cattle and putting up fence post. It was a lot of work.

@JustGoneNow it made you strong I bet you could have one any fight at school.
@Lostpoet My Dad is 6’5” and both of my brothers are just shy of 6’4”. It’s a small community. People were scared of us and me. lol
@Lostpoet It didn’t matter, though. I made a big mistake my Junior year and it made things difficult for a while. I preferred the farm at that point.

@JustGoneNow I take it small town America wasn't going to have any of that.
@Lostpoet No. And I was seriously in the closet. My best friend that I had a physical, sexual relationship moved away when I was just barely 16 and then I was alone. My Junior year the only dance I went to for all high school was Homecoming with a guy friend that I think might have been gay too and then we went to an after Homecoming party and they were drinking. I didn’t get out much and clearly had to much to drink and tried to kiss a beautiful senior girl I had been crushing on. She pretty publicly declined at the party in front of everybody and I was gutted. No one said anything to me after but I saw the stares and the whispers. It made me want to quit school but I pushed through and just stayed home. Things got a little better my Senior year because I had some other people to jam band with, so people’s opinions didn’t really matter after that.
@Lostpoet What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger but yeah... I was basically the school lesbian after that.

@JustGoneNow That's cool, it's better that everyone new than you having to pretend to like guys or I don't know.
@Lostpoet My life has always been weird. I actually love guys, just not attracted to them. Most of my best friends all my life have been guys.
