Decadiversary

[essayel]

I started this blog ten years ago today!! And it has been nine months since I last posted in it, having abandoned it because I've been blogging as elin_gregory instead! I feel all guilty now.

Ten years ago I was writing fan fic, illustrating fan fic and and listening to Bach and Nickelback.

What were you doing ten years ago this week?

I was working in one of my favourite jobs, which sadly never paid enough to make it worth the commute, and living in a hideously complicated poly relationship.

Ten years ago I was finishing my senior year of high school. Insanity!

I couldn't tell you from LJ, because I didn't open an account here till January 2004... But ten years younger, working at the job that eventually nearly gave me a nervous breakdown, which I left in ... '06? This week, probably planning on doing exactly what I am now, which is helping with the scoring at the archery club's Good Friday Albion tournament if it was coming up to Easter; planning the April SWiGGLe (singing filk meeting) for Saturday otherwise. And possibly a trip down to Mum's, but that would have depended on work commitments then.

About this time ten years ago, I was running for my life with a two year old in tow, and starting the divorce process against an abusive husband. Dear goddess yes it has been that long. That little toddler is nearly thirteen now, and taller than I am! (not hard, I am only 5' 2")

Congrats on your anniversary!

I started my LJ in August of the same year, so I can't check my entries to see what I was up to. But if I remember correctly, I'd just discovered Snape/Harry fan fic and was in a very good place in my life. 2003 was a good year for me. From 2004 it all went downhill. ;/

Ten years ago? I was toddler-wrangling. Writing wasn't even a blip on the horizon, and I don't think I'd ever heard of fanfic! Or LJ, for that matter. I guess I was a late starter! :)

hmmm, 10 years ago. I was wrangling a houseful of adolescents (mine and many others.) They had set up the back room as a sound studio and were rapping bigtime. I was teaching for StL Public Schools, the most ungainly, uninspired, repressive school system you'd want or not want to see. Was I even reading fanfic? Can't remember....I must have been, because upon checking I see that I started LJ communication in August of '03,so I must have been writing in the spring. I had recently met a bunch of really really clever, nice people online who were doing that (eesayel, Sam, Loupnoir, Connie... :D )and I had to play too.

Cushie Butterfield!!!! I remember all that so well [though I'm very bad at remembering to check old email accounts to find LJ responses]. You and Cas and Sam - goodness me that was fun.

and CAS!

Ten years ago, I did not have this LJ yet, so I can't say what exactly I was doing this week ten years ago, but I was close to finishing my M.A. (the exams took place during that hot, hot summer) and liked to read and write Tolkien fanfiction.
