What happened in 1989?

[cirquelover]

The end of 88 and 89 kind of meld together for me.

I remember the TWA flight over Scotland as I was getting ready to fly to Australia to see my mom. I also remember a Hawaiian Airline losing its top right as I was coming home from Australia. I left Australia in early 89 after an altercation with my moms boyfriend and went back to my first husband who was in LA. I saw the premiere of Big in Australia and it became my favorite movie.

There were a lot of earthquakes that year! It really freaked me out! The police helicopters were always flying over our neighborhood. The police presence was amazing to me. Once during a family bbq the helicopters came over and told us to disperse, from our own backyard! I never really understood that.

I was overly sheltered in LA and wasn't even allowed to go to Disneyland so I left to go back to Oregon and live with my brother and his roommates.

I lost two of the most important men in my life my grandfather and a good friend John, I still miss them.

I think that was the yearI went to work in a lumber mill as a a fire watch. If you don't think that was fun weighing 100lbs and carrying around 100+lbs of hose. There was only one big fire that I was too short to put out and it was inside the mill. That one became exciting fast!
