I saw this "10 years ago..." thing on someone's facebook status, and thought I'd do it here. So... 10 years ago.....
I had no computer or mobile phone, having no real need of them. If I needed to find out something, I used to go to the school library. I only had a vague concept of the Internet and had hardly ever used it. I had never kissed a boy. I had short hair and didn't think I was fat. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I was older, just that I wanted to be happy. I kept a diary, all of which I still have somewhere. I loved pop music and thought that only bad people used swear words.
How times have changed.
In 2010, I want to do something fulfilling, have fun, work hard, enjoy life and carry on learning to bellydance. I will learn the beginning of the dance to Gee. I'll try to enjoy Pathology. I'll keep in touch better with my friends, and be a better daughter, and a better girlfriend. I will also try to realise that taking time off from working does not always mean slacking.
In 10 years time... I will be 31 (old :( ).... I want to attain all my "before I'm 30" goals (see sidebar) and I want to look back and think how good this decade was.
