Where were you:
20 years ago: A non-entity. Wasn't born, wasn't even a fertilised egg.
10 years ago: Six years old, living on the Wirral, and profoundly weird. An insatiable reader with an insatiable interest in science, which Pedar was feeding with information about photosynthesis and the solar system. Was in school but not really enjoying it, teachers thought I was less-than-average. Learning English quickly, thanks to my reading.
5 years ago: In Lower Three, and very unhappy, shy, and introverted even though I didn't know it. Pedar was still commuting, we'd been set to move house for three years but we hadn't yet, Stanfield had rejected me twice, and then suddenly stuff happened when we found a house and I won a Merchants' scholarship - the year they withdrew the scholarship/assisted place programme.
3 years ago: Lower Four. I honestly don't remember this period of time very well... I guess I was okay. I was still hanging round with Becca, Kat and Meg, we were still really immature, and I was a bit of a non-person. I didn't really have my own hobbies, my own interests, I just did what my friends did. Not that I wasn't happy then, because I was - I'd got into Merchants', found the work easy and the surroundings agreeable, and I was becoming less shy - but I didn't know I was just about to discover fandom and my life was about to be changed in significant ways.
1 year ago: Wherever I was, it was a good place. I'd just appeared on Livejournal, I had friends who were just mine, I had GCSEs close enough to make me feel old but far enough for them not to make me uncomfortable, and I was happy. Kinda like I am now, but less stressed.
Yesterday: Yesterday morning, cleaning up the detritus of the night before with Mani and Becca and nursing a headache that was part hangover, part stress, and in the afternoon, in the cinema with Mani watching Welcome to Collinwood, which I liked very much.
Today: In a mood of general ennui. Haven't done very much revision, but I feel slightly better now because I ended up kicking back and watching a couple of Voyager episodes. I love Voyager. It's so comfortable.
Tomorrow: School. All revision, all the time! Whoo! Seriously, must learn presentation tomorrow, and do a bit of biology. Haven't touched it, and there's a test on Wednesday.
