How this works:

You comment, I give you an age and you fill out the meme questions with what applied to you back then, and now.

I collected age's luxquintessence gave me 6,  nochick_fics gave me 18 and baroqueangel gave me 23

Then

Age: 6

I lived in: East Greenville, PA

I drove: I rode. We had a station wagon

I was in a relationship with: There was a boy who gave me a very nice purple camera for my birthday in first grade, and who grinned like a fool every time I saw him, so I don't know if it was me, or just his natural habit ;)

I feared: "Creepy Crawlies", being the center of attention, being alone.

I worked at: Being a kid, and passing school.

I wanted to be: As a kid, it naturally changed every other day or so, but I think it tended to float between teaching/childcare, and something to do with books.

Then

Age: 18

I live in: Tifton, GA

I drove: Never got my full fledged license. I practiced in several different cars

I was in a relationship with: No one. I had a couple of "boyfriends" in Jr. High, but that was it.

I feared: Still had stong dislikes of the things I feared when I was younger, I was just better at dealing with them outwardly.

I worked at: There was a breif period where I worked at the convenience store my brother and his ex-wife managed. Otherwise I did a bit of baby sitting, but then the people with kids moved/stopped asking me to sit for them *shrug*

I wanted to be: Still liked the idea of working with kids, but had begun to realize that I didn't want to work with them day in, day out(I'd been an aunt for four years and for a good chunk of that time my brother and his family had lived with us, so I got my fill of kids there.)

Then

Age: 23

I lived in: Netcong, NJ/Wernersville, PA(we moved from the appt. in NJ to the house here in September that year)

I drove: Still had not gotten my full fledged license, but did most of my practice driving in our huge conversion van. I liked driving that least of all the cars I practiced in.

I was in a relationship with: Romantically, no one. for lack of a better word, I'm kinda a shut in...and most of the other residents of the appt building we lived in were seniors.

I feared: Still much the same as when I was younger, but again, I've developed less severe reactions to them.

I worked at: Nowhere. I applied to several places within walking distance of our appt building, but no dice.

I wanted to be: Something to do with books. Or crafting.

Now

Age: 32

I live in: Wernersville, PA

I drive: Nothing still. I've yet to get my learners permit in PA. While I admit that being able to drive would be helpful, the thought of actually doing so makes me tense.

I am in a relationship with: Much the same as when I was in my 20's. I did enroll in the local community college, and get my associates degree, so I'm less of a shut in type, but I'm still quite nervous around new people, I'm just better at hiding it.(really, at 6, I'd burst into hysterics at the thought of having to go up to a stranger to ask for directions or something)

I fear: While I still dislike the things I feared when I was little, mostly I fear the unknown.

I work at: Essentially house sitting mom and dad's house while they're at work, play secretary, take care of the animals. when needed I'll watch kids, but that's not so often anymore as it was when we first moved here.

I want to be: I want to own my own book store/publishing company. I envision a place kinda like Cheer's "where everybody knows your name" only without the alcohol. The publishing company side comes from the desire to see people who are good writers get published, when other company's won't  publish them.

Now mom's finally in from work(2 hour commute) so and this is posted.....now I get to go to bed!

Two hour commute? Yikes. D:

Did you still have family in Tifton? I forget.

Yeah, that's why the rent a room on days moms workimg, since she works 12+ hour shifts.

My one brother still has his house down there but they live up here now.

I like your idea of a publishing company, that would be all kinds of awesome. And owning a bookstore would be bad because I'd never stop reading all the books :P

but you'd qualify for the friends and family discount ;)

And you know I'd make use of it :D
