By a meme, that is, courtesy of Brian. So here goes. Nonbloggers, I may tag you too, so don’t skip this one!
The rules for this particular meme are as follows:Remove the blog in the top spot from the following list and bump everyone up one place. Then add your blog to the bottom slot. Easy, no?
1. Vince
2. Spider
3. Mr. Secret, Woe
4. Mr. Brian
5. The Subversive Librarian
Then you get to select five people to pass the love on to. This is the best part. Check the following blogs in the next day or two (or my comments, if they don’t have blogs) to see what they have to say about me and my meme.
1. Redneck Mother
2. The Velveteen Rabbi
3. James D.
4. Joey C.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Living in Athens GA...Hmm, checking old journal: apparently trying to make things work in my then-relationship, since there is no journal entry between 11/18/05 and 3/21/96. I mostly wrote in it when I was upset.

Mostly, the same things I'm doing right now, except perhaps for feeling slightly less positive about life in general at that time.

ReplyDeleteI suppose I could have listed some religious songs on songs I know all the words to, too, but I was in the secular. I wasn't censoring, I swear!
Wow, I don't know the words to any of those songs. In fact, I haven't heard of any of those songs. What's wrong with me?
