2017 has ended up being pretty fucking horrific. Nothing like moving into a stranger's house and then finding out a month and a half later that they've been recording your every move and word. Nothing like being threatened with litigation over what you thought was a private conversation.

Were there cameras in the bathrooms?

Definitely when I was 8 years old in 1991. I got backed over by a car in a church parking lot. It was at night, and I forgot who exactly I was playing with/talking to, all I know is one minute I'm talking to another kid, the next I'm feeling the tire run over my back and then my right arm as I am face down into the ground. Luckily said parking lot was dirt instead of pavement, or I would most likely have been killed.

Blacked out after hearing a whole bunch of people shout oh my god, etc. etc., next thing I know I'm in the backseat of a car/ambulance or something with my mom hugging me, blood damn near everywhere.

My parents understandably was furious, and my dad was about ready to kill the dude that backed me over when he found out. Surprisingly, my legs were fine so I was able to start walking after not too much trouble, but my right arm had to be in a cast/sling for a long time, I think a month or something like that.

I guess if I had to point out a single good thing about this situation, its that with the money we got for this incident, my dad bought me that super nintendo bundle that came with two controllers and mario world on the very first day of the north american release (alongside final fight and street fighter 2)....I had to kind do some crazy shit to play it with my broken right arm, but I made it work somehow, lol. (I would also say that I missed like a month of school, but I had to make this time up via teacher visits in the afternoon for like a straight month when I eventually went back to school). Still though, all these years later and I still remember the pain from this accident.

2017. I lost my grandparents on my mother's side of the family, and all of the horrible news constantly coming out of the US has had it's toll on my sanity, especially the stuff related to North Korea since I live in California...

childhood

I hated being a kid and always wanted to grow up

1993 my dad got arrested and we became homeless

actually some of the years inbetween that and when my dad got out of rehab and we stopped being homeless are probably worse but they all run together

96/97 - 2' of water in my parents house and we moved the house on top of a hill. Interestingly the house fell on my dad just before the house was being moved and was perfectly fine with just a couple of bruises.

2007-08 - deep depression and suicidal thoughts.

From the summer of fifth grade when my parents divorced and mom remarried until I graduated high school. I absolutely hated my stepdad. It is almost like he would go out of his way to find something I could have done better or didn't do as an excuse to punish me.

My worst years have yet to come, but they almost certainly will at this rate.

2017 has been pretty shitty so far. My mom suddenly passed away in February due to a post minor surgery embolism, and I was laid off from my job in early August.

Jesus dude

As far as I'm aware, they were cameras only in the kitchen and living room.
