The 5 Things Meme October 25, 2008
Linda Bustos tagged me in the 5 Things You Didn’t Know about me meme. I’ve been extremely negligent as of late in blogging, so this is as good of a reason as any to finally sit down and put fingers to keyboard - pen to paper really does sound better. Thanks to Linda Bustos for tagging me in this meme.
So here it goes.
5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:
- I was going to Kwantlen College in Surrey. I was going to do my first 2 years of my criminology degree there, then I was to head to SFU to finish it and finally on to UBC to get my law degree. If you know me, you’ll know that this isn’t the path that I ended up going down and couldn’t even imagine where I’d be now, if I had. I’d wanted to be a lawyer for as long as I can remember, but I hated criminology almost immediately, so I ended up dropping out and wandering around aimlessly for a couple of years. Although, I’ve still not completely ruled out going back to school and getting my law degree.
- I was about to start working at the Boathouse in New Westminster. I worked there for almost 4 years. Starting off as a breakfast hostess and working my way up to serving at night. I had a blast doing it at the time and it was great money, but I’d never want to have to do it again.
- About 10 years ago, I broke up with my high school sweetheart - we dated for just over 4 years. It was incredibly hard to do at the time, but I have zero regrets about doing it.
- I had just quit my job at Dairy Queen. Yes, I know I was far too old to be working there at that time, but I’d been working there since I was 14 and it was one of the hardest things I’d had to do. To this day, whenever I quit a job, I pretty much get physically ill. There is something about leaving the people who I’ve had enter my life - far more extensively than as just coworkers - that tears me up inside.
- I was getting ready to celebrate my 19th birthday. Yes that was the big one. We ended up going to a little pub in White Rock and I ended up drinking far to much and getting sick for half the night. I’m glad I lived through my late teens and early twenties and would never wish to do it again!
5 Things on my to-do list today:
- Drop of 4 pairs my shoes to the shoe doctor to get re heeled.
- Pick up some film at London Drugs that they couldn’t process and take it down to First Photo in Kits.
- Drop of some clothes at the tailors to be mended.
- Pick up some accessories for my outfit for the Parade of Lost Souls tonight.
- Meet Nadia and go down to the costume warehouse blow out sale - the line up was about 4 hours long, so I skipped this one.
5 Snacks I like:
- Any sort of candy
- Ice Cream
- Edammame
- Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal
- Cherries when they’re in season
5 Things I would do if I was a millionnaire:
- Take some time of work and travel
- Buy a house
- Start my own company
- Donate money to charity
- Help out my friends and family as much as I could

- North Vancouver
- Surrey
- Delta
- Vancouver
- That’s it pretty boring I know

I don’t normally pass along chain stuff, but I’d be interested in seeing these peoples answers. PS. I you don’t read their blogs, you really should:)
