Well, since the day is dragging on in quite the interminable manner, what better way to break the cycle than to fill out survey-esque thingamabobs that make you think?!
Starting with the smaller numbers - thanks to my fabulous cousin (in-law? how does that work anyway?) Jenn
What I was doing 10 years ago:
hmm.. the survey is called the 5's... yet this is the only 10? Interesting. Alright... 10 years ago I was 18, almost 19 and just finished a horrendous freshman year at Duke. I came home for the summer and got kicked out of my house, actually. See, it was all because of this misunderstanding between me, my "friends" (who did not have my back), and my mom... and this one late night visit to my on again/off again boyfriend's house at 3 or 4 am and not coming home like i was supposed to. Soooo yeah... the summer of freshman/sophomore transition wasn't cool. I took calculus I and II at Fayetteville State University - passed both with A's, in an attempt to replace the F I got at Duke, and tried to save an unworthy relationship with my boyfriend who was dating some other girl at the same time... again. (You'd think I would have learned after the first time... ah, "love")
Anyway... yeah, 10 years ago... not really a place I want to keep visiting. LOL - why didn't this ask about 5 years ago? That's when I met Michael. Well, almost. Let's do 5 years ago at this time. Okay, I was getting ready to start my Master's program unofficially at Marywood University and I'd recently been called as "stake young single adult leader" or something and when they were setting me apart (that's giving me a blessing in order to do my calling for all the non-LDS folk) they blessed me to be a light? or motivation? or something to the young men I would come in contact with. I remembered thinking in my head "oh good grief, here we go again" and I'm hoping that my groan wasn't audible. My "companion" in young single adult stuff was this nice guy named Cory, who thought that we'd possibly have a chance together. I thought differently but he was a nice guy anyway. So this was the summer that I signed up on ldssingles.com that would later lead me to my handsome Latin Lover, Michael Schultz, in December of 2003 when he sent me a cute little flirt and I began stalking him on MSN Messenger for the fateful day he would sign on and i could chat with him and find him amazingly attractive, cocky, intelligent, argumentative, and sweet, all at the same time without annoying me to no end. Yay for 2003!!!! Alright... i can move on now.
5 snacks i enjoy: (in no particular order)
1. sunflower seeds
2. red sour belts from the candy factory in northgate mall in durham, north carolina (there's a reason why i'm that specific... haven't found those belts since then and they STILL make my mouth water when I think about them.)
3. cinnamon rolls (no extra stuff - i.e. nuts, raisins, gross.)
4. fruit (fresh, sliced and in a bowl... sometimes with chocolate!)
5. snickers minis (in the gold packages, not the regular brown ones. they seriously taste different)
