Because:
1. I'm terribly bored because...
2. My brain's checked out because...
3. I need caffeine, but am...
4. Trying to wean myself off it (a little), which is really hard because...
5. Today is a Monday.
Briefly, the rules: each category requires 5 answers. Then tag people. That is all.
15 Years Ago, I :
1. Was ten or eleven depending on the month.
2. Was flipping out at the prospect of changing for gym class in a locker room full of other pre- and adolescent girls.
3. Was crying because my mom and grandmother had taken note of those very pre-adolescent changes that had me already freaking out.
4. Didn't like spinach.
5. Finally gave into playing rec softball (as opposed to baseball).
10 Years Ago, I :
1. Had something of a crush on a boy I'd never met but who my friend knew. (Sound complicated? It was.)
2. Wore jeans, no-brand polo shirts and Adidas all the time.
3. Didn't have to take gym any more.
4. Was moved up to varsity volleyball on my school team.
5. Discovered that our new band director was awesome and that being his student aid was sooo worth it.
5 Years Ago, I :
1. Possessed a wardrobe almost entirely made up of thrift store clothes.
2. Roomed with the manager of our campus radio station.
3. Actually knew what was happening in the soap opera Passions.
4. Went to a lot of shows (i.e. concerts for those not familiar with the 'lingo').
5. Had a huge wake up call which would take up too much space to elaborate on here.
3 Years Ago, I :
1. Was teaching high school math and loathing it (the teaching, not the math).
2. Lost my Grandmother and a friend within six months of one another.
3. Started getting very interested in origami.
4. Was the sponsor for the school's anime club.
5. Still lived with my parents.
1 Year Ago, I :
1. Was secure in my current job and enjoying it.
2. Reconnected with a few good friends.
3. Tried my hand at gardening for the first time.
4. Created this LJ at some point.
5. Got a new car.
Yesterday, I :
1. Sang special music at church.
2. Finished all gardening projects except for the constant upkeep involved.
3. Hung out with Carli and enjoyed Jane Austin in movie form.
4. Ate chocolate.
5. Picked peppers out of someone's homemade pasta dish.
Today, I :
1. Hit snooze too many times to count.
2. Ate two peanut butter cookies because they actually had peanut butter cookies down in the lounge.
3. Feel in dire need of caffeine (real coffee).
4. Gave up on looking into Rohirric names for Deandra (just don't have that language bug in me).
5. Plan to quickly produce another baby blanket for a woman at work who's shower I just found out about today (and it's on Thursday!).
Tomorrow, I :
1. Will probably hit snooze several more times.
2. Will attempt to drink decaffeinated coffee in the afternoon again in an effort to wean off the drug.
3. Will drop my car off at the dealership for an oil change and tire rotation.
4. Will see my dad.
5. Will give in and eat the third peanut butter cookie.
What's changed? Oh goodness...too much! I feel like I don't even know myself of 10 or 15 years ago. How did my mind work back then? Certainly not like it does now. Okay, so my brain's fuzzy today and isn't working well at the moment. Usually, though, I'm pretty sure what's going on in there. Oh, and I still have some left-over thrift store clothes, and I wear more skirts. Ta da!
TAG! YOU'RE IT! Anyone that feels inspired, be my guest!
