21. I was about that age when Jonestown happened...

...and I was obsessed with it. There's nothing in my family or school that would seem to predispose me to being kinda morbid and fascinated with death as a little kid, but I definitely was. Some kids just are, it's a matter of personality, and the news can certainly fuel it.

Couple years after that I learned what nuclear war was. Hoo boy.
