History
Your biography: When I was young, I lived in a small town in New Jersey. We lived there for most of my early life. It wasn't like a lot of the cliché ideas of New Jersey: there were trees, and it actually deserved the 'Garden State' nickname, unlike most of the state. I had a friend named Iris, who I met in the hospital after we both fell out of a second-story building when a window we were leaning against shattered. At first, it was hard to get to know here because she was so secretive, but eventually we became friends and even dated for a short time. We separated before going to college, and she died a few months later in a gas explosion back home.
I haven't been back to my hometown since then, because most people moved out of the town around my high school life, as a lot of freak accidents seemed to start happening around the town. I was only ever involved in the shattered window incident, although I heard stories about malfunctioning traffic lights and strange sinkholes. Personally, I think people are just a little too superstitious.
I went to college at a small school in Annapolis, Maryland, and am currently getting a graduate degree in Journalism in Chicago. My parents moved to Ohio after I went to college, to a similar small town that didn't have the same superstition around it. I still keep in touch with a few other students from my high school, but for the most part I've left that part of my life--and the strange people that went with it--behind.
