Five years ago

[Aksannyi]

What were you doing? I was in the hospital, giving birth to my oldest son.

Yes, today is his fifth birthday. It's a tough milestone, since I'm here and the kids are still living with my ex's family. It sucks. I can barely afford to pay rent and feed myself, so of course I can't afford to go see my babies, even on their birthdays, though I was pretty lucky that I got to see them at the beginning of this year for my younger son's birthday.

Anyway, I thought I'd share.

This is them:


The older one is on the right. I know it's kinda hard to tell which is which.

Re: Five years ago

The one on the right looks like he's going to grow up to be a Pretty Cool Dude.

Not just the slick hair, but the bitching SHOES OF FIRE.


Oh yeah!

Re: Five years ago

I was just finishing 10th grade. Probably doing Taekwon-Do, a bit of archery, and a lot of Super Smash Bros Melee.

Re: Five years ago

Five years ago...it's a bit of a vague memory. I worked in the warehouse for the company that I currently work for. I made just short of $10/hr. I rode a sport bike; which consumed all of my money in tires and chains 'n' sprockets. I didn't have a vehicle for the winter. A friend titled over one of his clunkers for me to get through the winter on... ...I was also single and had *zero* plans on getting married.

My son is just about 15 months old....

5 years ago, I was 19 and getting my first job, it actually begun in January 2004 and by now I was probably enjoying FFXI which was a purchase I made around the time I started working which was when I got my CC. I worked there for 2 years... it was hell.

Re: Five years ago

5 Years ago, I was still in PA, just begun playing FFXI, was heavy into RPs on yahoo groups and chat back when user rooms existed, counting the days for 10th grade to start. Oh right, having fun going on my bike for 2 hours on a trail and usually visit a friend at her place if I don't feel like going on the trail. And my hair was short with blonde highlights and spikey. Same status now as back then, single.

Re: Five years ago

Lets see. July 2004 my girlfriend at the time who was also my high school sweet heart decided to call it quits. I didn't have anything to do or many friends that I kept in touch with from high school that I could talk to, so I decided to get out of Dodge for a few months. Went and stayed with my brother in DC for the summer and came back like the week before september 1st. I learned the joys of living without cable tv, but at least I had cable internet ^_^ compared to at home where I only had dial-up lmao.

Re: Five years ago

I had just graduated high school and was probably just enjoying my first real summer in a long time as I had taken summer school every year prior.

I don't remember much else specifically. I used to baby sit for my sister during the summer so I can imagine I was doing that.

Re: Five years ago

Hmm, the summer before my last year of college. Mostly I think I was taking my last math course and a few engineering courses while doing computer training and service jobs on the side. This is when I changed to playing Ryoii and Nonomii instead of my Lv61 PLD/WAR (Neowind) and WHM/SMN (Hudson) duo.

It was just too disturbing to watch my blond haired Hume male in WHM AF follow around a tall, dark and handsome Elvaan male in PLD AF. White haired feline with a fun tail and little tarutaru with red highlights and pigtails was so much more visually pleasing. Plus WHM and PLD were gimp. WAR/NIN and RDM/WHM could do so much more.

Re: Five years ago

Lets see, 2004 i was in my junior year of highschool. finally lost weight, started getting into ffxi, as my first character Calphera. I was also working 30+ hours at staples, had a shit load of money and nothing to spend it on besides xi.

Today: I work full time as a department head at homedepot. Moving in with my girlfriend and my bestfriend of 6 years on august 1st. and still chugging away on ffxi.
