lumy12The Friday Five is a day early. I guess the mod won't be around tomorrow or something. Though they didn't say, so it looks like a mistake to me. Well, it don't matter, my answers won't change overnight!
1) 10 years ago what did you think you would be doing now? The internet was still foreign to me 10 years ago. How odd. In March of 1996 I believe I spent most of the time alternating between being paranoid about my boyfriend cheating on me and being blissfully happy with him. I thought we'd get married and have 2 or 3 kids. Thank God that didn't happen. I had no clue what I would do for a career though - I had already dropped out of school then... go back a year or two earlier and I would have said I thought I'd be dead by now. But that's another story!
2) Where do you think you will be in 5 years from now? Single. No boyfriend, no kids, hopefully no more cats either (5 is plenty!) and probably still in debt. I don't see much changing for me in the next 5 years, I'm where I want to be settled and I'm reasonably happy, save for certain things I've whined about before and probably will again and whoa look at my run-on sentence now! I'm not going into all that here, I answered the question :)
3) Do you live life one day at a time or look to the future. This question doesn't have a question mark at the end of it, grrrrr. I look to the future as far as paying bills and keeping the household running smoothly, but no, I would say I mostly go one day at at time, only concerning myself with the moment.
4) Do you wish you could go back in time and undo something in your life? Who doesn't??? I wish I could undo sooooooooooooo many things. We all make mistakes, some of us more than others... I'm still working on forgiving myself for some of them.
5) If you could send a message back in time and give a younger version of yourself some advice, what would it be? Oh boy. Um... I guess I'd tell myself that no it really is NOT the end of the world when such-and-such a thing happens... that I will get through it and be a better, stronger person... I'd tell myself to quit wasting so much time worrying about pleasing everyone, and to figure stuff out with school instead of being a big angsty mess the entire time I was in college, thus wasting the experience.... oh and I'd tell myself not to work so damn hard, why did I need to work 40 hours a week and do full-time school when I lived at home? I loved that job too much, for one thing. Would I tell myself not to work there....? No, I don't think so. Maybe if I was feeling mean I'd ruin the Star Wars prequels for my old self! Ha!
