1997 was one of the most important years of my life, because August 1997 was when I met Frolic in a rave chatroom on IRC. We met just before the release of Happy2bHardcore Chapter 2, and just before he threw the second Hulla party. We met in real life a few weeks later and we've been together ever since. So basically, the time before August 1997 was spent working on a home-study program to finish high school (I ended up graduating three months before the rest of the people from my normal high school that I'd gone to previously), and the time after August 1997 was spent chatting with Chris on the computer, talking to Chris on the phone, and waiting for the next time I'd get to talk to him again.
