My first tag!

I got tagged by Domestic Overlord! I feel very official now :)

Ten years ago: I was married, living in an apartment I hated that had waterbugs, and obsessed with online trivia. I'd just started my present job, and I was probably a basket case. Took antidepressants for the first time around then. (i'm a big fan :)

Five years ago: I was just getting used to being single, Living where I am now, and making a lot of new friends. I was probably traveling a lot then, though I don't remember clearly. I started seeing a lot of live music around then, and learning who I am. 2000, as a I recall, was a good year.

One year ago: I had just started dating my boyfriend. (a few months at that point), and exercising regularly. I was in the midst of a successful diet (some of which I've undone), so a lot of time was spent at the gym. I was pretty damned happy this time last year :)

Five snacks:

• fla-vor-ice
• skinny cow ice cream sandwiches
• laughing cow cheese on tlc crackers,
• soy crisps
• peanut butter filled pretzels
  

Five songs I know all the words to:

• Dead Flowers, The Rolling Stones (covered by at least 10 different artists that I can think of offhand)
• Suspicious Minds - A Mark James song that was made famous by Elvis
• Love Hurts (any version that isn't by Nazareth, I'm particularly fond of the version by Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris , and the version by the Jayhawks
• Highway Patrolman- Bruce Srpingsteen (though I love the version Dar Williams did)
• The Last Thing On My Mind- Either the Tom Paxton original or the one by Cry Cry Cry

Trying to narrow this to anything less than 200 was a challenge.

Five things I'd do with 100 million bucks:

• pay off debt
• buy an apt. in manhattan and a condo outside the city
• give money to everyone I know and love to solve whatever their most pressing financial issue is and make their lives easier
• start a foundation to donate the annual interest earned on about 50 percent of it to the charities that matter to me
• Spoil myself and my boyfriend.

Five places I'd run away to:

• The primary answer to this used to be New Orleans. I hope it will be again.
• Chicago
• the Berkshires
• San Francisco
• My friends' homes

Five things I would never wear:

• jewelry or garmets that proclaim a religous affiliation (no offense to anyone who does, just not my style)
• a tube top
• anything in pastel yellow or green
• a plaid mini skirt (or any mini skirt)
• a flowered housecoat
  

Five tv shows:

• West Wing
• Gilmore Girls
• Roseanne reruns
• Mary Tyler Moore show reruns and
• Jeopardy

Five joys:

• Joy (my best friend for the last 20 years)
• My boyfriend, my friends and the people in my life as a whole
• Animals
• Music
• Good food

Five things to do, just for me, before I die:

• Travel
• Learn to sing
• Arrange it so I really believe I can take care of myself properly
• Visit everyone I've promised I'd visit
• I'll come back to this one

Haven't figured out which 5 people I'm tagging yet, but I'll figure it out shortly!
