What were you doing 10 years ago?
Getting ready to move to Detroit after spending a year in purgatory at my parents' house in Port Huron, finishing up my stint as computer sales person at the Best Buy, writing lots of melodramatic confessional poetry, having a big crush on a boy who reminded me of Neal Cassady, chain smoking, and drinking lots of beer. And just generally waiting for something better to happen.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
Temping in the Old Brompton Public Library and trying to decide if I should keep temping for a pittance or take a job that paid more but looked kind of dull as a team leader in the file factory. I was working harder on my novel then too.
Five snacks you enjoy:
1) Cadbury's Crunchie Bars
2) Rolos
3) corn chips and guacamole
4) Top Shelf Ramen in the blue pack
5) Jam Cream Biscuits
Five songs that you know all the lyrics to:
1) Baby, Would it Matter by Jenny Toomey
2) Silient all These Years by Tori Amos
3) Blister in the Sun by The Violent Femmes
4) Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond
5) Veronica by Elvis Costello
Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
1) Buy Oliver a diamond collar
2) Buy a lot of old typewriters
3) Turn the second bedroom into an awesome writing room
4) Go out to really expensive restaurants more often
5) Quit my day job
Five bad habits:
1) Procrastinating.
2) Being Messy
3) I can be really forgetful
4) Sarcasm
5) I love getting food delivered but I hate calling to order it
Five things you like doing:
1) Reading books
2) Trying to write a book
3) Watching teen movies
4) Cooking
5) Drinking Sangria on a hot day
Five things you would never wear again:
probably
1) Troll earrings (novelty earrings of any sort really)
2) A black plaid trench coat
3) My beautiful pink graduation dress (it doesn't fit any more, not by a long shot)
4) Pin rolled acid wash jeans
5) Khakis and a Best Buy uniform shirt
Five favorite toys:
1) Dominos
2) Cat fishing pole
3) Bust-a-move
4) Scrabble
5) Frisbee

Since you're a former Best Buy worker, can you help me install my stereo? If not, can you help me "pin-roll" my jeans? Is that the same as "tight-rolling?"

i did not work in the audio department, i worked in home office so no i cannot help you with that stereo, but i can sell you a warranty with that computer.
i believe that tight rolling and pin rolling are very similar, we just used pins (bobby or safety depending on your skills) to hold the folded over bit in place. i always messed it up though and at least one cuff would be hanging around my ankles by lunchtime.

bust-a-move is a computer / video game that i like to play. they used to have it at both the rainbo and the fireside in chicago, but it's been at least 4-5 years since i played it at either of those places, but now it's online too. you have to shoot marbles into blocks of three or more until you clear all the pre-existing marbles off the screen. and there are dinosaurs.
