What Instrument Do You Play: Don't Play Anything

About Me: Moved to Bloomington for school in 1985. Finally ended up in Collins in the spring of that year. Failed out the next spring! Lived with many great folks, some whose names escape me right now: Michael Lane, Spud, Steve, Phillip and Peter Paris. Eventually got back into school and graduated in 1990. Left for Chicago for one year. Then, back to b'ton in '91. Too much school followed: MLIS, M of Ed in counseling, several low paying jobs at IU, then a full-time gig in Financial Aid.

Throughout it all, the usual debauchery and many many great shows and parties. Many cigarettes bummed from Ian. Second Story and Bullwinkles my homes away from home.

Got knocked up in '01, married and then moved the daughter to Indy in '02 to be close to family. Staying at home ever since, but that's soon to change.

Having a blast and kind of a hangover looking at all the photos.

What city are you from?: Indianapolis, Bloomington

And then in the present life keeps happening, whether I'm ready for it or not. I almost feel like I'm living all these different ages at once. I don't have anything insightful to say. It's just kind of disorienting. I also can't believe how the tone of everything changed so quickly (at least for me). Of co… Continue

This MFT stuff is making me a horribly nostalgic bastard in a almost visceral manner...you know what I'm talking about. We've been there together.

I look forward to hanging out with you virtually and I hope in real life, being a mom, do you like it? I am glad to have mellowed and united my crazy party girl side and my crazy protective mommy side into one Perfect being, as i am now--:) ha!

At 3:35pm on May 27th, 2008, Jami said…: Yeah, my daughter is 12. You're not old to have a 5 year old. Yes, I do work, in the architectural/design industry. I'm lucky to have worked from home for years now. It's hard work and requires a lot of self discipline but has been convenient in raising my lovely daughter.
