Fives: who me, tagged?
I’ve been reading Just Another Pretty Farce for a while now, and hey, Katherine Coble not only has me on her blogroll, but cares enough to tag me! Woah.
What Were You Doing 10 Years Ago?
It was my senior year in high school. This is probably about the time when I decided to start falling in love with my (straight) best friend (whose birthday happens to be today, in fact) and trying to lie to myself about it. Hey, maybe I should have a coming out anniversary party for myself!
What Were You Doing 1 Year Ago?
I know this down to the week. I had just gotten home to Boston after having visited Vanderbilt for the weekend. My thoughts were, I really didn’t think I’d go there, but I’m glad I visited because it’s a really great school. Even though I enjoyed my visit, I still didn’t think I’d come. The next weekend I went to LA for a couple of teaching job interviews, and while at the Getty on my free day The Little Red Haired Girl called to tell me that a FedEx from Vanderbilt had just arrived. She read their offer to me, and that’s when we knew we were going to have some serious decision-making to do.

Don’t be offended if I didn’t tag you, I probably just don’t think you’re reading.
ps- you may have noticed that The Little Red Haired Girl is in many of my answers. You may be thinking, “aw, they are so cute” or “ooh, that girl has no identity of her own”. I encourage you to go for the former.
