You comment, I give you an age and you respond to the meme questions with what applied to you back then, and what's true now.

sistawendy gave me the age 27, my millenial age.

I lived in: Woodinville WA, at, indeed, what I generally refer to as the Woodinville house.

Now: I live in a zendo in Cleveland Ohio.

I drove: A Suzuki Samurai... 1986? I'm not sure I remember. Her name was Zukia, and she got 35 mpg, had a removeable top and could pull a trailer. Eventually she had an mp3 player. I loved that car.

Now: I ride a bike, and belong to a car share (but haven't yet actually used it.)

I was in a relationship with: Craig, my now-wasband.

Now: no one. A few intimate friends, nothing formalized. (And one or two interesting question marks, for that matter.)

I feared: never being able to work again. (Well, okay, that depends on when, exactly, beginning of the year I'd just left a job that had burnt me fairly badly. A few months later the spine problems started up in earnest, and I failed to deal with them.)

Now: Huh. I don't like being in a lot of pain. I don't want to leave my current program. It would really suck not to have insurance. Not the same kind of dread to any of it, though.

I worked at: Microsoft.

Now: I'm a grad student at CWRU.

I wanted to be: I don't think I knew, and that was part of the problem. Actually, I kind of knew that I wanted to leave microsoft and return to academia, but at the time I was very toasty from my former job (also at Microsoft) and thought that my technically unfinished (because the Chinese department screwed up) Chinese degree made going to grad school nigh-unto impossible. Especially since I didn't want to continue in Chinese. I was starting to think I wanted to go into genetics.

I want to be: A scholar martial artist monk. With a hackerspace.
