because phecda tagged me
John, you realize that I'm going to blame you for me not getting other things typed tonight. On the bright side, it means I might get most of a night's sleep tonight so I'll be blaming you for that too.
- 10 years ago: that would have been 1995... so, I was living with Tim, we got married in 96, and working at Suncoast. A very unstable Sarah with no hope for a better direction at the moment.
- 5 years ago: in 2000, I was living with my grandmother when I was home, but I'd started going crazy and run away with the Ren Faire. Too bad I couldn't make a really good living at it. Still pretty unstable, tho the Zoloft had help quite a bit before it started eating my brain.
- 1 year ago: In March I started the new job at Realcomp. In June I moved back to Belleville when they told us that grandma was never coming home. Always knew she'd have to be pretty much dead before I moved back here. August was about the time we started waiting for her to go any day, she was in hospice at that point. Also started the relationship with John some where in July which really was the bright spot to hold on to in that whole mess.
- yesterday: Worked 10 hours. Had dinner with John and spent several hours in Carabou Coffee talking about my abusive first husband, the uncomphrensiveness of the standard population, the fact that I just don't seem to understand why people won't open their eyes, and how to know when you've found your real self. Cried quite a bit. Hopefully made some things better.
- tomorrow: Working. At least I don't have to go in early. And zenturbo is supposed to be coming over to work on my arms and wrists again. Oh, and I need to take the trash out too.
- 5 snacks I enjoy: fruit leather, soy chips, dark russet potato chips, cheese and ginger cookies
- 5 bands/artists that I know the lyrics to most of their songs: The Grateful Dead, Jimmy Buffett, The Beatles, Brother and Elton John and Billy Joel
- 5 things I would do with $100,000,000: buy and completely pay off house and car, pay for my own health insurance so I could do something that I love to do instead of just working at something I happen to be good at, throw money where I think it will do the most good, make a couple dreams come true and try not to spend all of it in one place
- 5 locations I would like to run away to: Key West, FL, Portland, OR, New Zeland, Rosslyn, Scotland and Australia
- 5 bad habits I have: forgetting to eat because I'm busy, believing the loop tapes, clicking my tongue or bouncing my leg when I'm stressed, not stopping when I get sick and overpacking
- 5 things I like doing: I don't know yet for real, ask me again in a month
- 5 things I will never wear: blaze orange, chartruse, a string bikini, a rain suit with those nylon pants and dress slacks
- 5 TV shows I like(d): Looney Tunes, Babylon 5, M*A*S*H, original Star Trek, Scooby-Doo
- 5 movies I like: Escabana in da Moonlight, Blues Brothers, Dangerous Beauty, Quills and Apoclaypse Now
- 5 people I'd like to meet: H.P. Lovecraft, Timothy Leary, Robert Anton Wilson, the Dali Lama and Jesus (because I want my answers, damnit!)
- 5 biggest joys at the moment: good friends, good music, good sleep, fun car and self progress
- 5 favorite toys: (does the lasik count?) my laptop, new car, my current favourite ink pen, Girl Glass and palm pilot
- 5 tagged: (crap, who did John not tag??) pjhandley, zenturbo, star_gazersusan, zillafan and dano_140 and anyone else who would like to volunteer
