Those were the days...
I consider the 90s as my 'good 'ol days'. My childhood years were happy (I think) into my high school life (which became memorable during my senior year, since I became an officer in the CAT). My college years were nice, and that's where I got the friends who will probably stay with me for life. But college really isn't my beloved time; my favorite time is the years I got into work and started doing the stuff I love.
That's because I HATED school. Well, probably 'hate' is too strong a word; suffice to say that I am not one of those people who dream of going back to school or taking up masteral studies or some other nonsense. I was reborn the moment I graduated and realized that never again would I trouble myself with studies and tests and term papers for NO PAY.
Yeah, living and earning your own moolah and not having to worry about home work or grades is the life for me.
The Nineties is my era. That's when I started working in the wonderful world of Advertising, when I joined Alamat Comics, started releasing my Angel Ace comics and when I started becoming a serious gamer and comic reader. On the larger scheme of things, the 90s had ups and downs; the stabilization of the power situation (the late 80s were plagued with constant and long brownouts or power outages), a time of economic growth and your usual political growing pains.
This era is, finally, mine to portray or use as a backdrop for my part in our group's present comic project. I actually chose this myself since I hate research and thought that it would be best to delve into something I could work on from personal experience.
So what are the things I remember about the Nineties? My first job, probably. My first paycheck. My first trip abroad (Hong Kong), falling in love with the Playstation, a major earthquake, seeing my first published comic... these are all things that I can probably tap on for a story. Just what it finally will bear for me remains to be seen though.
Deadline is on Saturday. Gotta get those creative juices flowing. Heh.
