Ten year old me
Today, I opened my time capsule. I made it when i was 10, and I was suppposed to wait till I was 20, but I got the urge. So I had an old American girl magazine, a tamagotchi article, an article about an eclise I saw in England, advice to myself on marriage, pictures of my friends , an old year book from first grade ( Jagan was so cute and little!), predictions of the future, and my old diary ( age 7-10). My predictions for 2007 went as follows:
1. People will be able to be cloned ( check- they're able, they just don't)
2. People might live on another planet ( um, no not yet)
3. They will have computer graphic taomagotchis ( I was obsessed!)
4. Phones that you simply just say who you want to call into a speaker will exist ( I think that those existed when I made this list)
5. Cars will float in the air ( definitely not)
My diary was really funny too. This is one of my favorite entries:
11-23-95
" I just asked about some boys on my magic 8 ball. Every boy in second grade likes me and **** is going to marry me! I like two boys- *** and ****"
I can't actually say they're names because I still go to school with them. Well, not anymore, but you know. The one thing that i found distubing was my last entry:
10-4-98
" I will never be happy again. Mom and Drew always fight, and Mom and Dad don't even talk to eachother. I don't really have a family- I have the broken remains of a family. My " family" is not a family at all. It seems that my dad hates my mom, and my mom hates my brother. Now I know how it feels to grow up- miserable"
I never realized I felt this way for so long. It's not entirely the same anymore, but still.
Like Maggie, I'm still very similar to the younger me. My extreme dorkiness was just alot more apparent. I hang out with people that make me look cool now, though. haha
