Okay. Sorry it took so long to get to this. I was busy all day and didn't want to have to type it on my phone. I'll start with stuff that I can remember.
Ages 0-5/Years 1997 - 2002
- Born in 1997
- Was in the car when my mom accidentally ran over the cat with that car(RIP Fred). Was also with my parents as they buried the cat in the backyard.
- Drove/Argued over whose turn it was to drive the Barbie Jeep car
- Was driving the jeep, saw a GIANT snake, screamed, backed it up and got Dad. Dad got the shovel and killed it. (Poor snaky. 4 year old me was terrified)
- Got woken in the middle of the night and was carried to the downstairs closet. There was a big and scary tornado that caused a huge tree to narrowly miss crushing the house. Tree fell parallel to it and landed on the sidewalk. The crack is still in the sidewalk at that house, 19 years later
Ages 6-12 / Years 2003 - 2010
- 2003: Started Kindergarten. Was bossed around by people on the playground. Had to sit in time out one day during recess because I decided to do the exact thing my teacher told me not to.
- 2004: Moved to Alabama. Met new friends, one on Halloween who was a grade behind me in school. The other person I met was old enough to be my grandfather and basically treated me as a granddaughter. Oh but don't forget about hurricane Ivan. Quickly went back to Tennessee to evacuate the hurricane. Ivan knocked down a tree in the backyard.
- 2005: Hello Hurricane Katrina and Rita. Went a week without power from both hurricanes. At least there was no school for a whole week either.... Ended the year staying at a rented beach house for the month of December.
- 2006: Found my cat Elvis, as a kitten who didn't even weigh a pound. He was abandoned by whoever owned him before. Poor kitty...
- 2009: Stayed in the exact same beach house that we stayed in back in 2005. Accidentally pushed off an entire container of chex-mix. Chex-mix landed upside down and spilled EVERYWHERE. 12 year old me had to clean it up, until her grandfather got the broom and swept the remaining bits under his reclining chair. Bet the crumbs are still there 11 years later. Also started Youtube in August of this year.
- 2010: Finished 6th grade/elementary school and moved back to Tennessee.
** My main friend during this time was the friend I met in 2004. We hung out almost every single day during the 6 years that we lived across the street together. She, my sister, and I were the Three Muskateers, often referred to as the triplets even sometimes. We brought out the best in each other. We were goofy and silly with each other. Aside from that though, I was a quiet child. Although, I did get in trouble a couple of times in school. In 1st grade, I got in trouble for playing rock paper scissors during reading class. In 2nd grade, I had to sit out for all of PE because I disobeyed the teacher again. 5th grade, got in trouble for talking in the hallway and doing the wrong page of homework. 6th grade, got in trouble for not getting the folder signed and for not pushing my chair in before lunch.**
Ages 12 - 18 / Years 2010 - 2016
- Year 2010 (after moving back to TN): Started reading Warriors and met my best friend since middle school. Turned 13 this year as well.
- Year 2011: almost went to the hospital because I had the flu and ran a 106 degree fever. Ended the year burying my grandfather four days before Christmas. Only good thing that happened this year was I joined the forum. It was the one ray of sunshine for me.
- Year 2012: finished middle school and started high school.
- Year 2014: Sick again, but this time with bronchitis instead of the flu. Was sick for nearly half of 2014. Kept running fevers, was coughing all the time. Could hardly so much as breathe without coughing. First spell started after I returned from a church camp at the beach in late June and it lasted until sometime in August. I had a short break from it until November, when the coughing started again. The cough never went completely away from the first spell, but it started getting much more persistent by November. Caught a terrible cold, and that's what led to me getting bronchitis again. Missed 3 days of school that December.
- Year 2016: Graduated high school, got my wisdom teeth pulled, and then started college.
**I mainly stuck with the same friend group during these years. Also spent much of those years racking up on the posts on the forum. The forum is where I spent most of my free time.**
Ages 19 - 23 / Years 2017 - 2021
-2017-2018 Moved to a different town and lived there with my parents while I finished community college
-2018: Moved to a new college town once I transferred to a university
-2019: Switched from computer science to accounting.
-2020-now: Almost finished up with college.
**Don't have much extra to say for these last couple of years. The main person I've spent time with during this time is my boyfriend. We'll have been together for 5 years this April**
I know this is a lot, but I wanted to give you plenty to work with.
