addienfaemne and kailuna did such a lovely job on their life meme bio things... (jessica's is here, and rachael's here)
15 Years Ago, I:
1. was 8 years old
2. was fluent in Shanghainese
3. lived under the care of my nanny, who I called "Alu," and who used to tell me Chinese fairytales and forbid me from having people over
4. kissed several boys in the schoolyard, including a freckled boy named Eric S., who ran away because he was scared of my cooties
5. was exceedingly introverted/shy
10 Years Ago, I:
1. was deciding what high school I should go to - it was between the UN school and Brearly.
2. read everything Mercedes Lackey
3. rode horses
4. was getting over Michael Palumbo, my 7th grade crush
5. contemplated Wicca, and Spiral Dance
5 Years Ago, I:
1. had discovered the sunlit nooks by the public library in Williamstown
2. had wound down on writing poetry, which I'd done a lot of earlier
3. was suicidal without *flirting* with the idea - was wordless
4. was in love with two men simulataneously, the latter of whom I wanted to marry, despite the fact that he lived in Arizona, and the former who was closer
5. knew for certain, deep down, that there was more to life than school, and that I fell short somehow
3 Years Ago, I:
1. baked brownies and cookies every week for the WARP (williams roleplaying) social group
2. missed Seth Brown, and laughter, a lot
3. mastered the art of knocking out a decent paper in under 3 hours
4. could bopsword, by god
5. did more sex stuff than I care to think about, although the actual loss of virginity wasn't til later
1 Year Ago, I:
1. came to terms with the idea that I was not only *not* worthless, but actually somehow special
2. was living with David in our apt in Park Slope, and scraping up rent somehow
3. got a cat named Allergen
4. was immersed in Pool, an online bulletin board I love
5. meditated
Yesterday, I:
1. broke up with a sweetheart, and began to feel the relief
2. had a pasta with red peppers and string beans, in primary colors
3. had an excellent conversation with a friend about free will, good and evil, and what was healthy in my own life with relationships
4. was tired
5. gave a midterm to my students
Today, I:
1. had my first really wonderful set of classes
2. talked to Jenn, who I love
3. am bouncily happy
4. am writing this
5. planned more lessons
