Because I Have Nothing Better to Post

What were you doing ten years ago?
I was beginning the most miserable school year ever. Ninth grade in my hometown sucked badly. That year was the reason I switched schools (and met the girl that would introduce me to the boy who is C). I was also hating all of the baseball players in my advanced English class, especially the teacher's son, who (I found out later) she always sat next to me hoping that some intelligence would rub off. There was no rubbing, thanks.

What were you doing five years ago?
I have a very good idea, but don't want to admit to it. C and I had been "dating officially" for about a year and we'd been engaged for almost 5 months. I moved in with a girl I knew and her sister and life was good, but slowly became miserable (have I mentioned that I don't get along well with girls?). It was sophomore year, but I don't remember a lot about that - school wasn't my focus.

What were you doing one year ago?
We were driving to Minnesota with the inlaws and a smelly Beagle. We got the call that they accepted our offer on the house, so we realized that we'd be moving. It was a big weekend. There was some four-wheeling through the swampy areas too.
