It's January, 1999. Where are you?
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 02:50 PM by AngryLizard
D.C., baby! Four months past the most humiliating break-up,ever (at a wedding, where I was a bridesmaid, in the car between the wedding and the reception - the stuff that chick lit was MADE of), living with the bride's sister, working as a webmaster for a non-profit in DC, and going out every night that I could. I was probably still crying on a weekly basis, but let's just say that I was working through it the best way that me and my cleavage knew how.

You?

2. Awaiting the Rapture
Edited on Sat Jan-15-05 03:08 PM by Pigwidgeon
Yeah, right.

I was getting kicked out of my apartment because it went condo.

My love life had never been very good. Later that summer, I would get back together with my girlfriend, only to find that I was being used to cover up her involvement with a married man.

I'd also move into the house of a friend of mine who would turn into the Landlord From Hell.

At least I was working. That would be over on October 31, 2001 -- Bin Laden, you know. The company had to save money so it could promote its cardiotoxic COX-2 inhibitor drug.

So, when do things get better?

--p!

4. Had a sick baby that Winter.
I was up all night nursing and giving breathing treatments taking care of him while working every morning (plus a 3 year old and 6 year old). My spouse was pretty much flaking out on me on an emotional level and I was just numb and trying to survive.

6. In a hell hole known as Concrete Washington....
Which, for those of you playing at home, was the place where they filmed This Boy's Life, staring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio.

did have a connection to get booze though. My N64 stayed busy with Goldeneye death matches. Smoked ( i know stupid thing to do ), had to deal with asshole repugs. Some good times, some really shitty times, and everything in between.
