Borrowed from Cat who borrowed it from someone else...
10 Years Ago:
I was 21. (sigh)
I had just broken up with my first boyfriend.
I was in Fairbanks finishing up school.
I was working at the university library and Girl Scout Camp in the summer.
Kate (in Vermont) had moved out of our dorm room in a fit of self preservation. We wasted a year not speaking, mostly because of me.
I was in a very bad way for quite a long time.
5 Years Ago:
I was 26.
I was living in California.
Michelle had moved out and we had a new boy roommate.
I took my parents to Disney World. My little sister joined us and it was the 2nd time I had seen my niece.
I was working at the dot com for a bunch of bitches (including the gay man) who caused me to eat tums like candy and cry on my drive home from work on a regular basis.
3 Years Ago:
I was 28.
My older sister died of leukemia. It was the first time anyone I was close to had died. (To this day she's still the only person I've been close to that has died.)
I moved to Seattle.
I spent far too long unemployed.
I drank far more than I should've.
I missed my high school reunion because I was moving.
I had my first ever one night stand. (Yeah, yeah I know... Not a big fan though, and not likely something I want to do again.)
1 Year Ago:
I turned 30. (Sigh)
I cut off all my hair. (yay!)
I got a tattoo. (yay! yay!)
My favorite ferret died.
A boy and I stopped seeing each other.
I volunteered, a lot!
I took my Brownies camping.
I had been at my job almost a year. A new job that I actually like.
I started hanging out with Matty regularly.
And the best part... Michelle came to visit! YAY! YAY!
Today:
I am 31. (beats the alternative I suppose).
I still volunteer a lot.
I went to visit Michelle!
I started doing my Sunday Adventures.
I am going to Hawai'i in less than 2 weeks.
I've been helping someone move.
I still have 1 ferret, she doesn't know she isn't the fave, although I guess now by default she is. :)
I still have the strength and health to get up every morning.
There have been far more light days than dark days.
i am a little envious of how in the past ten years you have lived in more than one place. i have been in the same bloody province since i was born. i just moved from one town to an other when i moved. from A to B. now i am in B. i would like to live SOMEWHERE else. sigh. i have never had the guts to just bite the bullet and move. but we might do it this summer. maybe. at least by the end of this year...*fingers crossed*
ReplyDeleteI've been around awhile.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great adventure so far...might have to steal the idea and post something like it on my blog...we'll see.
ReplyDeleteI like this. I'm gonna steal it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, Joanne! I'm jealous that you and Michelle are going to Hawaii.
