what've you been doing lately meme
Jul. 25th, 2004 03:03 pmTen years ago, I...
1. Made the decision to attend Kingswood-Oxford private middle school instead of the local public school King Phillip. This single attempt to stay with my neighborhood friends spawned a total of 7 years in private school.
2. Attended Long Lake Camp for the Performing Arts, which was unbeknownst to me to become my shelter against the horrors of middle school.
3. Marvelled at the fact that my baby sister was starting first grade.
Five years ago, I...
1. Performed in my high school's production of the Fantasticks as the girl's father.
2. Dated a girl called Jamie Peck, and despite botching that relationship horribly, discovered I could actually get pretty girls to think of me romantically.
3. Discovered at last that it was time to stop apologizing for who I was and being nice to people who were bastards.
Three years ago, I...
1. Actually made some friends at college, and convinced Blueguy's friend Ben Kravitz to be my roommate for my sophomore year.
2. Worked at Fresh's Best gourmet grocery store on Cape Cod, and hated it so much that I drove home every other weekend in an aging Ford Explorer who's passenger window no longer rolled up.
3. Was frankly astounded that my baby sister had become a teenager.
One year ago, I...
1. Became President and Head Storyteller for Dead City Productions.
2. Finally decided on a major, namely History, because it had the least requirements and didn't require a thesis (unless you were in the Honors Program - ha!)
3. Spent my twenty-first birthday having my wisdom teeth removed. Whoo.
So far this year, I...
1. Retired as Dead City's President, handing the title over to the capable Rodrigo Dante Lopez Ramirez.
2. Celebrated Valentine's Day with
spreadnparanoia, shortly before our one-year anniversary. She had the good grace to cook me dinner before coming down with a bad fever.
3. Graduated from Northwestern University.
Yesterday, I...
1. Walked my mother down the aisle at my eldest sister's wedding.
2. Reconnected with my cousins on my father's side of the family, Zander and Ramsey. Ramsey I had not seen in at least 5 years and maybe more.
3. Nearly got busted buying drinks at the wedding reception for my (now 16-year-old) baby sister.
So far today, I...
1. Attended the post-wedding brunch with a moderate hangover.
2. Discovered that my father is not exaggerating the extent of the virus problems on this computer.
3. Wrote this LJ entry.
