1) How old were you?

3) Where did you work?
THEN: I was raising two children, ages 6 and 8
NOW: I work half the time at UC Berkeley, half the time at a webcommerce company, and the other half the time as a homemaker. When I can make myself sit the ass in the chair, I also write.
4) Where did you live?
THEN: Chula Vista, California, in a cool apartment above my mom's garage, with vaulted ceilings and a nice big bathtub.

13) Who was your regular-person crush?
THEN: TOTGA, and Naked-guy
NOW: I haven't had a blazing crush on anyone in a fairly long while, but I get kind of tongue-tied around a couple of people;fightingtiger comes to mind.
14) How many piercings did you have?
THEN: three - two in one earlobe, one in the other

15) How many tattoos did you have?
THEN: None.

NOW: I walk holes in my Birkenstocks.
21) Looking back, are you where you thought you would be in 2008?
HA. Um. NO. Nowhere NEAR. I think she would have flatly disbelieved you had you told 31-year-old me where she'd be in ten years.
