tag! I’m it.
Miss Traci Anne listed me to do this little survey. I would imagine that if we were playing tag, she would be running after me, cornering me & laying it on me with a “TAG! You’re it!!!” I was never good at Tag. I could never run fast enough & I was always It. But since I never ran fast enough, I could never tag anyone back. I usually ended up forfeiting. My poor little chicken legs couldn’t take the pressure. Thankfully, I think this is something I can manage.
4 Things I did 10 years ago (1998):
1. I was 10, almost a 11. So I was doing a lot of “kid” things.
2. I had a full head of braids & wore geeky glasses.
3. I stilled played with Barbies with my sister.
4. I was still writing in silly little diaries, even though I didn’t have much to say other than “Dear Diary, Hi. It’s Ev’Yan. How are you? I’m not doing very well because Jarani [my sister] won’t play Pocahontas with me. She makes me so mad. Well, I got to go. Ta-Ta for now! See you later, Alligator! Sorry so sloppy! Write back soon!”
4 Things I did 5 years ago (2003)
1. I was 15, almost 16… & I madly in love with my military (ex)boyfriend.
2. Made “love” for the first time.
3. Decided not to go to a regular high school anymore, & switched to homeschooling.
4. Got my belly button pieced. (Which I took out a few years ago.)
4 Things I did yesterday:
1. Made killer spaghetti. I mean, it tasted good. It didn’t try to kill us.
2. Watched a little BET with Lover, while he exclaimed that it’s illegal for him to watch it because he is white.
3. Went to Target; picked up jalapeño flavored pretzels. I loathe spicy food, but for some reason I was craving it.
4. Argued with Lover about some lettuce, telling them that because they had bugs in it & he washed them off doesn’t mean that it’s safe to eat them. He ate them anyway.
4 TV shows I love to watch:
1. The Amazing Race.
2. Tell Me You Love Me.
3. I Love Lucy.
4. Twilight Zone.
4 Things I love to do:
1. get all dressed up, with no where to go.
2. write about nonsense.
3. taking the long way home while driving.
4. play with Sofie Aiko.

*laugh* One thing I love about tags is that my initials of my first three names (I have two middle names) spell TAG. So that was always my favorite game.
Your diary from that age sounds so much like mine *laugh*

Your “diary entry” made me laugh hysterically… my diary entries were ALWAYS like that… “Dear Diary, I like Kyle, why doesn’t he like me back? SWAK Love ya — Abby” ahahahah!

@ Amanda: Yeah, writing this made me realize just how young I am, even though I feel like an old fart.
@ sandy: Yay! I read it earlier.
@ Traci Anne: Aw, TAG. How sentimental. I wish my name would be acronym-ed in some sort of unique way.
@ that ShortChick: oh, me too. =]
@ Natalie: I loved being homeschooled. I was homeschooled most of my life actually, so it was something that I was used to. Mainly, I loved doing school at home, in my pajamas, at whatever pace I wanted to, as long as it fit in with the deadline. Being at home also allowed me to graduate WAY early. So I enjoyed it. :]
@ abby: I laughed out loud when I read your “entry.” Mine sounded a lot like that, too. & have you ever noticed that all the hot guys/objects of your affections were named Kyle?!! I had like, 3 crushes in my lifetime whose name was Kyle!

Way to connect people. I’m not dissing the torch, I have a blog written it just needs a little fine tuning and I’ll publish. You had sex when you were 15! You go girl. :) And Heath Legder would be my pick. Something very sweet about those Aussie boys. I was shocked when he left this world so unexpectedly.
as usual I’m not answering things in the right place.

@ Sharon: Haha, it’s okay. Really. I’d rather have you reply here & there than not reply at all. :] & yes, sex at 15. Far from glamorous & did more harm than good… but yeah, I had sex at 15.
