My parents were divorced when I was young, and at the age of 12 - 4 years after they split up - my mom brought home a man for me and my siblings to meet. He was a truck mechanic for Ryder. However he had a friend that could get VHS tapes on movies that were still in theaters. The first one he brought to our house was Evil Dead 2. While my brothers and sister were not allowed to watch it (due to the movie being rated R), I was. Already being a horror movie lover, I fell in love with this movie. I even played hooky from school the following day and watched it again.

I have some very specific tastes when it comes to pop culture.
Anybody who knows me knows that I'm a huge fan of Star Trek. I frequently re-watch episodes of TNG even though I've seen them dozens of times. I listen to Star Trek podcasts, and I sometimes read and listen to Star Trek novels.

Back in the late 80's I was living with my grandmother, and she worked 2nd shift. So I was usually alone at times, or with my cousin. (who also lived with my grandmother)
