How are your Saturday nights different now than they were five years ago?

Five years ago I didn't have a driver's license and my friends kind of sucked.  I wrote in my open diary still I think.

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live?

What's your favorite thing about being sick?

Getting taken care of.  I love getting lime slushies from Dairy Queen or Lime Phosphates from Graeter's.  Other than that, it is awful.  I can't get sick during school - I don't have time.

How old were you when you had your first "official" boyfriend or girlfriend? What was he/she like?

"Officially" I guess it could have been seventh grade.  His name was Rob, we hung out with a mutual group of friends, and one of my best friends and one of his best friends were dating.  We got set up at a high school football game (I even remember the date simply because it was October, Friday the 13th).  I had to say I liked Backstreet Boys more than *NSYNC (which at the time was akin to me speaking out against God in a very dedicated church) and we were dating.  We talked on the phone every day after school, and I called him Robby.  We sat next to each other in band (we played the same instrument) and one day got kicked out by the band teacher because me, him, and another kid found a Cheerio hilarious and would not shut up (why this was funny, I don't know).  I think we went on one really awful date with a friend of mine and her "boyfriend" at the time to the mall and an awful age inappropriate movie.  PG-13 can be a real curse when you are 13, and the movie is full of sexual innuendo that is way to over your head.  We really just hung out and school and people thought we were "a cute couple."  Rob was pretty sweet back then (I think?  He bought me a collectible on a trip to... somewhere over Thanksgiving - that's sweet right?), but we were in 7th grade, and we broke up two months later.  We were friends throughout high school, even if he became more and more obnoxious (he was incredibly stubborn and always thought he was right).  We had all the same classes.  I gave him rides home a lot sophomore year.  I haven't heard from him since I sat next to him at my high school graduation.
