Tim Selkirk

Tim managed to graduate from THS despite the birth of his daughter, as his dad exerted a stronger hand in limiting Tim's involvement as father. Tim hated this but saw the wisdom of getting the fuck out of high school. Still, despite his dad's best efforts, he only made it through the first semester at UCLA before another big downward spiral.

Then... he cleaned up, made new promises to his loved ones to do better, worked odd jobs, started back in with a lighter course load, and got increasingly involved in the budding grunge music scene. He eventually got picked up as drummer by Basalt Flow, a moderately successful local grunge band and their shows started taking them further afield. He wasn't around much for Eliza and Bex but at least the paychecks were bigger then he'd seen before and he regularly sent money back to them.

And then Kurt Cobain committed suicide in '94. And grunge was shook. Basalt Flow fell apart, Tim hit his worst depression and ended back in rehab again, this time for a long time. As luck would have it, once he'd moved up to quarter-way housing, Spencer told him about the housing opportunity in NYC. He knew Bex had already moved somewhere there, so why the hell not?

He reconnected with Reggie and Spencer and now has a roommate and a part-time job at the yoga studio while he looks for more work and maybe a music gig. This time he's going to be a better father and find a place in the world! This time is going to be different!
