five years ago today: i was sitting in the front parlor of the london study centre with my classmates watching rented tapes of "friends" episodes and studying for a british history exam. later, we went to a pub to legally ring in my 21st.

ten years ago today: i got my driver's license, despite the exam guy telling me i'd made an illegial turn and should have failed... but, since my driving instructor was waiting for me at the end of the test and the exam guy knew him, he passed me anyway. ahh, connections.

twenty years (oh lord! twenty?) ago today: i was six. life was easy.

twenty six years ago today: i was born at huntsville hospital around 5 am. thus, the fun began!
