What were you doing 9 years ago?
january 1997.. i was in my junior year of college probably freezing my ass off trying to get to class across the michigan state campus. i was battling an age old system of corruption wielded by frustrated and angry women who had nothing better to do (sorry, i HAVE to be cryptic. i signed a NDA.) i was begging for the strength to get me through the rough times... to make it through just one more year of college so that i could get my degree and get out of there. i was also only 5 days away from turning 21!

What were you doing 6 years ago?
i was preparing to move to new york about this time 6 years ago. i think that it was actually later in january that i got the bug and started making plans for the big move. i was working for a small internet company north of detroit that got swallowed by a larger internet company based in new york. the company atmosphere in detroit was fun but stagnant and so was my life. i had hit rock bottom only 6 months previously and was finally feeling better about myself and confident enough to swim in bigger seas. it was march 13 (three months later) when i finally packed my car and moved into my grandparent's place in NJ.

What were you doing one hour ago?
i was eating french toast and reading bloglines.

Name 3 movies/tv programs you can't turn off if you stumble across them on television.
~harry potter
~law and order
~the price is right (and i'm almost never home to catch this one!)

Name 3 things you want to improve upon this year.
~my japanese could use some work
~my ability to not double-book things.. this is why i now own (gasp!) a pocket planner.
~my creative writing. it would be nice to write a few short stories.. start small.

Name 3 things you can't live without.
~fresh veggies
~my hubby
~diet lemon snapple iced tea (i call it "crack".)

Name 3 things you could....
~beggars on the subway
~mobile ringtones (other people's)
~car alarms (can you tell i live in new york?)

Name 3 things you really like about yourself.
~my toes.. they are my favorite feature.
~i am not modest. i like to give myself a good pat on the back for things that i do right and why not?!
~i tell it like it is. sometimes i sugar coat but i generally give it to you straight.

Great meme! I'm glad you left Detroit! Also, I don't believe that you would double-book anything. At least not anything Spider-related...

informative meme! i was a college junior that year, too, and i also adore "price is right" and "law and order." (the best part of jury duty was watching "price is right" -- someone one a new car during the high/low dice game!)

it was so good to meet you yesterday! you're all as great in person as I imagined you'd be.
