Where were you in life, five years ago?

1 month before my last (and 6th) year of college was to begin. Pretty excited for my last year as I only had 1 class a quarter to take (gotta love how they only offer the class you need once a year). We (my future wife and I) were living on a greenbelt with some friends. Pretty much b-b-q-ing, drinking, and having a blast. It was my last summer to do nothing. It was great.

Since, besides getting married, going through two jobs and 3 promotions, getting a dog (got her February of 99 because I was getting bored), and moving to SJ nothing has really changed... Still chillin'

Do you two have any kid, or expecting one soon?

[Japher]

No. Why?

Just wondering . . . . .

part of the gay agenda that Boddington's is so worried about, is that we seek kids and convert them to become gay.

When I decide to have kids they will be straight... if I had to beat it into them!!!!

Hmmm 5 years ago I had just turned 22 and was still at college. I lived with seven other guys in a four bedroom house right on the Pacific Ocean in Santa Barbara, CA (and when I say right on the ocean I mean any closer and you'd be dog paddling). I worked as a waiter and delivery man for a local Italian restaurant where I made good tips and the owner was an elderly Sicilian lady who always gave me a free meal before every shift. As a starving college student I looked forward to getting that free meal.

Sounds like a cool, fun time.

I was between high school and college, and just taken a holiday to the States. What the hell I did for the other few weeks of summer I don't know.

Yeah, it was. I often wish I could go back to college where my biggest responsibility was to finish my term paper on time. Still, I was flat broke and on days where I didn't work at the restaurant most of my calores came from cup of noodles or burger king cheese burgers so I could save as much money as possible for beer.

Well yeah -- beer is important, because it helps you with your future goals.

Hmm...five years ago I was 10. Most likely worrying if I liked what my mom packed me for lunch that day.

Trickey: I worried about the same thing when I was 10. Of course I didn't like most sugarly things so if she packed something which was to sweet for my taste I knew I could always trade it to one of the other students for something I did like.

It was 5 months before my Grandma died of Cancer,
and 1-2 months after we knew, that she had it
(I went on a voyage through Catalunya (a part of spain) with some fellow students to study the animals and plants there and upon return I was told by my grandparents and parents about the diagnosis).

In the end she died on January 2nd 1999 after some time of suffering in Hospital.

The summer of 1998 I moved from the sheltered Diplomat's-child existance I'd been leading in Tanzania back home to Sweden and the last two years of High School. I realise now how inexperienced I was for a 17-year-old kid... When I started posting in forums later that year I was a self-important humourless *****, mainly because I didn't have the right experience with social interaction outside my small circle down there, and because I had had a political awakening a couple of months before I wanted to test out.

[Harry Seldon]

Well, this definitely counts as a rough time.
But it seems like things are better for you now??

I'm almost twenty-seven and I'm not dead.
