What were you doing ten years ago?
ten years ago i was 13 years old. i was in eighth grade and in the middle of my incredibly awkward stage. after being rejected for everything i tried out for (cheerleading, gymnastics, district musicals), i was hardcore into my junior high school journalism class (as i was certain i would grow up to be a hardcore journalist). i could sense that i didn't love pop music, but struggled to find other music (i had no mentor), so i listened to no doubt and smashing pumpkins constantly. it was also about ten years ago that i met jesse. wondering why he wasn't interested in me? check this out:
What were you doing five years ago?
five years ago i was in my second semester at byu-idaho. i had just been kicked out of my apartment (which i now wear like a badge of honor), but that was alright as i was pretty much living at the library anyway. i was spooning with one stephanie joy hawkins (now robertson) on a regular basis, and we were in the early stages of planning our spooning book. also, not to be debbie downer, but five years from saturday i lost my brother, cameron. that wasn't so fun.
Five things on my to-do list today:
1. clean apartment. check.
2. procrastinate homework. check.
3. respond to this tagging (almost check).
4. read Parzival.
5. watch Lost.
What snacks I enjoy:
i pretty much enjoy snacks in general. haribo mini frogs are tops. i also love me some apple slices and peanut butter, chips, cereal, raw broccoli with ranch, and always a diet soda.
What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire?
give some away (jesse would insist that a huge chunk go to cancer research). go to law school and set up a killer nonprofit organization. put jesse through school. have a baby (hopefully?). buy a house. save some for the (future) little ones. donate the money for a new liberal arts building on the BSU campus.
Three bad habits?
1. i procrastinate (like most everyone)
2. i can be overly sensitive
3. i really like to snack
Five places I've lived:
1. idaho falls, id
2. rexburg, id
3. arlington, va
4. boise, id
5. yep, that's about it.
Five jobs I've had:
1. lawncare technician (i mowed lawns at a cemetery)
2. reading tutor (at byu-i)
3. adjunct instructor (at byu-i)/teaching assistant (at bsu)
4. constitutent services specialist (at the governor's office)
5. medical records specialist (at a crappy hospital)
Five things you don't know about me:
1. i really hate: unnecessarily competitive people (i didn't know life was always such a competition), insurance companies, and spiders.
2. i am diabetic and have a diet, as my husband would tell you, of rice and candy.
3. i am really burnt out. i love school, but i think i've reached my limit when it comes to english literary studies. at the same time, i don't think i'm completely done with school just yet... should be interesting to see what happens.
4. i'm wearing earrings shaped like pinecones right now.
5. i'm pretty much an open book.
i tag:
suzie, bitty, andrea, libby, jetta, and anyone else looking for something to blog about...

Aw Beckruck I miss you. You're so cute. I loved reading that! And I do have to say thank you for tagging Libby! I tagged her quite some time ago and she still has yet to respond. Maybe you'll have a better chance of getting through to her.

ah, i enjoyed reading this immensely and thanks for the shout out!
i have also been thinking about cameron lately and probably always will at this time of year.
love you!
ps- that picture was tops. more of that please.
Becca, this made me laugh. love that picture of you. I would do this too, but I don't know how to do it. Do you just cut and paste, or what? Well, see a later.
this brings back memories of that day on the bus in 7th grade that i told my bff i didn't like boys II men or anything else on the radio. i wanted to steal her brother's oasis cd.
i second (or third) the admiration of your picture. man, i think you had jesse from hello.
Yay! I love reading people's tags -you learn the most random things that you'd never otherwise find out. lunch - soon. I think it's pertinent that I hear in person, why you were kicked out of your apartment at BYU-I!!
ah, this is fun! i bought some diet cherry pepsi this weekend at winco (because it is such a pantry staple... nevermind that i could have bought some healthy lunch meat or eggs or milk...), and i thought of you. only 5 more days until spring break! hallelujah!
i LOVE haribo miny frogs! Let's have a frog party!!
Hey do you remember me? I was the silly bald girl of apartment 311! I'll e-mail a link to my blog, if I knew your e-mail address. I have a private blog, no creeps allowed.
How funny! I remember when you mowed lawns at a cemetery. I was just telling Chez about that the other day.
I seem to remember you living with us (jil and dave) for a few months...which is in MERIDIAN, ID!!! So glad you feel so thankful to leave us off your places you've lived list!
That bitter comment was from Dave who kept looking over my shoulder. I'm sorry, I try to keep him away from your blog.
i clearly remember when you got kicked out of your apartment. clear as a bell.
p.s. can we be blog buddies?
