Ten years ago... (meme)
The point of this is to see how you're different than you were 10 years ago, I think...
So. Ten years ago was 1993.
1. LOCATION: Fairbanks, Alaska.
2. SEX: Masturbation. Which was rather difficult, considering that my bedroom was my corner of the upstairs, and my parents and Narcissa had their own corners, and anything I did would be clearly audible. I think this was when I became famous for two-hour baths. With a good book. When no one else was home, ideally.
3. RELATIONSHIPS: Oh gods. Um. ...93 would have been 7th grade, so... none. I was crushing on the Wrong Kind of Guy left & right. Ben turned out to be a dickwad; Ben turned out to be gay. (Two different Bens there.)
4. APPEARANCE: Short brown hair, just starting to be curly. Boobs. Wore skirts, never pants.
5. DRUGS: None. The Thou Shalt Not Do Drugs indoctrination had taken hold, and I didn't want to do anything that would make me stupid or forget stuff.
6. DRIVING: Mama and FatherSir did the driving: her 1984 Saab (lovely car!) and his tough old GMC suburban that was a good 4 years older than I was.
7. FOOD: Mama cooked. FatherSir was beginning to take over. This was about when Mama started to give up cooking for everybody. I was starting to fend for myself, kitchenwise.
8. CREATIVITY: I was starting to fragment. I was getting more into my journals. I had just discovered science fiction, thanks to Mr. Murphy leaving the first of the Harper's Hall trilogy in the reading rack.
9. SOCIAL: Michelle was my best friend; we'd just met Savil and her crowd; Galadriel and Gaia were still attached to the group at this point. I was the quiet one, often present, but not really a part of the goings-on of the whole group. Savil and I were becoming better friends than Michelle and I were.
10. MONEY: I had started working that one summer job, tablesitting at the Suzuki Institute. I think I also had started babysitting. Never had much, but never had any real expenses either.
