tag! I’m it.

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Miss Traci Anne listed me to do this little survey. I would imagine that if we were playing tag, she would be running after me, cornering me & laying it on me with a “TAG! You’re it!!!” I was never good at Tag. I could never run fast enough & I was always It. But since I never ran fast enough, I could never tag anyone back. I usually ended up forfeiting. My poor little chicken legs couldn’t take the pressure. Thankfully, I think this is something I can manage.

4 Things I did 10 years ago (1998):

1. I was 10, almost a 11. So I was doing a lot of “kid” things.
2. I had a full head of braids & wore geeky glasses.
3. I stilled played with Barbies with my sister.
4. I was still writing in silly little diaries, even though I didn’t have much to say other than “Dear Diary, Hi. It’s Ev’Yan. How are you? I’m not doing very well because Jarani [my sister] won’t play Pocahontas with me. She makes me so mad. Well, I got to go. Ta-Ta for now! See you later, Alligator! Sorry so sloppy! Write back soon!”

4 Things I did 5 years ago (2003)

1. I was 15, almost 16… & I madly in love with my military (ex)boyfriend.
2. Made “love” for the first time.
3. Decided not to go to a regular high school anymore, & switched to homeschooling.
4. Got my belly button pieced. (Which I took out a few years ago.)

4 Things I did yesterday:

1. Made killer spaghetti. I mean, it tasted good. It didn’t try to kill us.
2. Watched a little BET with Lover, while he exclaimed that it’s illegal for him to watch it because he is white.
3. Went to Target; picked up jalapeño flavored pretzels. I loathe spicy food, but for some reason I was craving it.
4. Argued with Lover about some lettuce, telling them that because they had bugs in it & he washed them off doesn’t mean that it’s safe to eat them. He ate them anyway.

4 TV shows I love to watch:

1. The Amazing Race.
2. Tell Me You Love Me.
3. I Love Lucy.
4. Twilight Zone.

4 Things I love to do:

1. get all dressed up, with no where to go.
2. write about nonsense.
3. taking the long way home while driving.
4. play with Sofie Aiko.
