What Were You Like

20 Years Ago: (1985 - I was 11)

- was in 5th grade and envious of all of the "couples" that were sprouting up around school (can you believe that?!)

- caught the chickenpox from a boy and our entire table caught it!

- learned how easy it was to cheat during a test! (OMG, that's so bad!)

- remembered that I did a state report on Delaware and a president report on Reagan

- was a HUGE fan of As The World Turns, Days of Our Lives, and other soaps. HUGE.

15 Years Ago: (1990 - I was 16)

- was a sophomore in high school and teased my bangs every morning

- participated in my Mareng Wena's cotillion...and met my first "bad boy"

- actually had my then-guy ask my parents permission to "court" me...and they said NO!

- went to Russia on a student exchange program that summer for three weeks..that is, Russia before it fell.

- loved, loved, loved New Kids on the Block and was even part of the fan club! (had to be on the same page as Consuela now!)

10 Years Ago: (1995 - I was 21)

- went to my first 21+ over gay club on my birthday, Club Universe!

- enjoyed having a commute...did I just say that?

Last Year: (2004 - I was 30)

- let 5 of my 7 ear piercings close...because when I turned 30, I felt I had to do something "drastic"

- got my 3rd tattoo to make up for the loss of my ear pierces!
