Unremembered Named Conspiracy Book
I was lent a book by one of my parents friends and someone who acted as a mentor to me during junior high. This book followed the Ruby Ridge event of the early '90s and was about a man who was killed by the FBI for being in a militia. It started a whole spin of distrust towards government and authority which I still carry today. -
First Family Computer and AOL
When we got our computer, I taught myself HTML coding using a library book and by reading the source code to other webpages. This was much simpler with early HTML verses how it is now. -

Final Fantasy X
