Class was canceled but we didn't know that till we got there and now I'm chilling in the library till closer to 12 to grab some lunch since they cheated me on my late breakfast. :(

Then & Now: 1998 & 2008

1) How old were you?
Then: 9

5) Who did you live with?
Then: My family.
Now: My family except when I'm with this obnoxious girl (as said, trying to move in w/ friends...but on campus apartments are apparently difficult to move into. wtf?)

6) How was your health?
Then: Good physically and mentally.
Now: average on both

7) Pets?

Now: a beagle, a mutt, a lab and a cat that comes and goes as she pleases (all live outside....thank God)

8) Who was your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/spouse/S.O.?
Then: single
Now: totally married to Roy Mustang *refues to believe he isn't real*

9) Who were your friends?
Then: cousin, kids I went to pre-k with and I had recently met my bff
Now: bff, cousin, two insane guys from hs, some others from hs and crazy party people I met through them, my awesome college bffs who are as crazy as me(and 3 are fangirls), online friends and a disturbing number of adults(as a child I had issues meeting new kids but not new adults)

10) Any kids? Any plans for kids?
Then: Not a chance.
Now: Does being a second mother for your brother and bff count? how about disciplinarian for a badly behaved cousin? puppies?,,,maybe kids in the future but definatly more dogs

11) What was your worst struggle?
Then: Meeting new kids and not giving into peer pressure...dealing with being painfully shy, not arguing with my mom
Now: Not procrasinating, get through college, meeting new people, not being very sarcastic with all my teachers

12) What was your biggest joy?
Then: Batman, Spiderman, dogs, chocolate, doodling
Now: Batman, dogs, chocolate, fandom(whichever obsession of the moment), COFFEE, spending time with friends and parents(yes, I actually like spending time with them now)

13) What did you consider your greatest accomplishment?
Then: Being smarter than most of my peers and actually having some friends
Now: I still have HOPE. I'm in college(never doubted I would but still), have convinced people I am Batman(yes, I get called that too)

14) What advice would you give your younger self?
It's fine to be shy and don't try to be exactly like all these people in order to get friends. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to stay home and just watch Batman

15) What would your younger self say to you?
Not now, watching Batman.

16) Looking back, is your life in 2008 what you thought it would be in 1998?
Sorta. I figured I'd be in college but I never figured I'd have more than a couple good friends or essentially live on the internet.

Also, looks like if I try to do a summer in London it'll be about $7,000, but I'm determined. Mom said if I can get the money up I can go. I'm looking at next summer. A friend and I plan to go together so it should be awesome!
