my life at a glance

I lifted this meme from ppb...

20 years ago, I was:
- Studying Minnesota history in 5th grade social studies
- Watching the "What's happening to my body?" filmstrip
- Crushing madly on Denny Merry (whatever happened to him?)

15 years ago, I was:
- Just starting to make high-school friends, despite having been in my new school almost a year and a half
- Spending countless hours in "the Pub", which was what we called our yearbook/newspaper corner (get it? pub?)

10 years ago, I was:
- a Suitee
- Changing my major from biology/pre-med to religion
- Dealing with the aftermath of a failed relationship of my own and a weird love triangle involving two of my roommates.

5 years ago, I was:
- Finalizing plans for studying abroad. Planning to stay for ONE YEAR.
- Loving seminary life and my roomies
- Learning to preach

1 year ago, I was:
- Coping badly with new, huge work responsibilities
- Lonely as hell
- Going downhill fast

Yesterday, I was:
- Meeting with a lovely older lady and loving my job
- Mostly pretty bored, after that

"Weird" seems inadequate, but I can't think of a better word.

"Exceptionally convoluted"?

Charlie said...

Yeah, I'd go with that. It was a decent floor show for the rest of us, at least.

Can I make "in the closet" jokes yet, or is 10 years later still too soon?

Jessica said...

You could try making the jokes, but I am pretty sure they wouldn't be funny. :-)

Ye of little faith.

Whatever happened to Denny Merry? Do you really want to know? Because I did some high-tech detective work and found him.

(Well, actually, I just googled him. But now you can call him if you want.)

I've got some guesses about the closet! :)

Jess, can you send me your contact info. via e-mail? I tried to write to you through this (the "contact" feature), but it didn't seem to work.

Thanks! :) Amy
