historical ambiguity

10 years

July 3, 2009 · 1 Comment

in the past 10 years I’ve:

  • graduated high school, college, and grad school
  • become an Aunt
  • been a bridesmaid 8 times (the number doesn’t sound like much, but i thought about writing -have spent over 2,300 dollars on bridesmaids dresses, shoes, necklaces, plane tickets, and showers)
  • driven my car to 14 states
  • shared my life with 8 fantastic roommates (not even counting summer families)
  • started voting
  • taken my first trip to europe
  • lived in 4 states
  • take my second trip to europe
  • had 12 new jobs (don’t worry I have one that will stick now)
  • become a sister-in-law
  • take my first trip to africa
  • made 100s of new friends
  • lived in a trailer park
  • eaten fish eggs and eyes

it is weird to think about oneself 10 years ago, would a good friend from then still recognize you today? could you share a cup of coffee and make up for lost time or would there be awkward pauses?

    Wow. It’s amazing how much one can do over 10 years. On one hand, it would be tough to relate to someone you haven’t seen in 10 years. On the other hand, you’ve got a lot to talk about :)
