    How to describe my high school…There was woods behind it, a peach orchard to the left of it, a cow pasture to the right of it, and a church and a corn field across the street. There were rules about keeping your guns locked in your truck if you went straight to school after deer hunting at dawn. “Town” was the nearby army base.

    Plenty of goth girls lived in a single wide down a dirt road. In fact thinking back to high school, there were the occasional boots and belt buckle yeehaws among the guys, but I don’t remember a single “removedry gurl” among 'em.

    Like, you’d get girls who wore blue jeans and T shirts, with a hoodie in the winter, with that “I bleached it blonde three months ago” brown-rooted bangs and pony tail hairdo. Like the practical “rrrl grrrl” look. I’m pretty sure I was going to college out of state before I actually saw a woman actually wear a cowboy hat for real, like not as part of a costume.

      Right. I spent many nights driving 40 mins out on the gravel road portion of the drive to places where a farm seemed like civilization. From my experience there are few places Taking Back Sunday, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy, etc. was played louder.
