10 years ago: I was 20 years old and facing a major fallout with my group of friends at the time for something I didn't do. It taught me a lot about loyalty and trust and what to really look for in a friend. A very unfortunate time in my life. But a good learning experience.
5 years ago: I was dating someone who didn't really know who I was. But then again, he didn't know who he was either. He tried to control me and was very cold and distant. But I realized what I wanted and deserved in a relationship. And, thankfully, he dumped me after four years so I could finally be free to pursue something better.
1 year ago: A little more than a year ago, I met my fiance, Gary. I went to New Mexico for an event with a girlfriend. I just wanted all men to cut me a wide berth. And then I met this really sweet guy who I started corresponding with through e-mail. Who knew we would be engaged a year later?
Yesterday: I watched it snow outside the window at work and trudged through the slush at lunchtime to get Indian food with my buddy Greg.

What is Cool In My Place... Well, I'd have to say that my cat Toulouse is the coolest thing in my place. But I truly love my house. I especially like my collection of Guatemalan textiles (huipiles) I have hanging from my inner balcony.
Okay, Vieve, you have to answer these too...
cutie cute Toulouse!
ReplyDeleteok, will answer these too.
I just wanted to note that, if you will recollect from my post, I was many many miles away from you 10 years ago and hopefully had nothing to do with your shitty junior year.
ReplyDeleteoh, yeah, me too! Although I came back in the spring...
ReplyDeleteIt had nothing to do with the two of you. After all, you guys are still my good buddies. Frank and Vieve!
