20 years ago (1982), I......was just getting used to the concept of a baby sister, a "red, wrinkly, crying baby", as FatherSir so eloquently put it. He didn't want to give me any illusions about what was coming my way, so I wouldn't be disappointed. I blamed Grandma for everything, as she'd shown up when all the odd things were starting to happen.
15 years ago (1987), I......was in, what, the second grade? I was a fairy again for Halloween that year. It was a two-layer dress, light pink, with floaty filmy stuff over the solid pink fabric underneath. There was a wand, wings, a veil, and a fan that went with it. I'd been inspired a few years earlier by the Iron Fan Fairy when FatherSir took us to see the college's screening of a movie depicting part of
Journey to the West, which I read in translation a few years later.
10 years ago (1992), I......was twelve, and was most likely in the seventh grade, struggling with socialization issues. I met Savil that year. She was cool. Galadriel and Gaia were still with the crowd at that point, though Gaia was drifting off some.
7 years ago (1995), I......was in the middle of a major depression triggered by having found real true friends as smart as I was, a lot of them, for the first time in my life, only to be removed from them with no real way of getting to see them any time soon. I still haven't seen any of them in person since then. I had just met That Idiot Shawn, and was getting to know him in drama class. I had just started dating the Lady E.
5 years ago (1997), I......was in the middle of another depression, most likely. It was the beginning of my senior year in high school. I was the Queen of the Library Monkeys. My fiancée and I had broken up over That Idiot Shawn, I'd done poorly in classes the year before, and failed Chemistry... but there was DC my new friend, my little sister was at the same school I was and was part of some of the same crowds, and I was starting to look pretty. Oh, and I kicked ass in art class.
1 year ago (2001), I......was stressing over school and work, madly in love with Darkside, worrying about childcare. Worrying about my weight. Playing Tetra Master, with myself as the card. Worrying about school. Going through some strange, huge changes. I'm changed from who I was then, but not as drastically as who I was then changed from 2000.
Yesterday, I......finished my two finals, did parent-teacher conferences, then did things at home. Contemplated drinking with the King of Elfland's daughter, but decided against it.
Today, I......Gave plasma, got stuff done at DeVry, took a nap.
Tomorrow, I......will be getting my teeth looked at, then will probably have some fun with the parent seminars at Nephew's school.
