10 Years Ago: i was 14 years old and a freshman in high school. like lindsay, i started out wearing jeans, solid shirts and flannels everyday. then i moved into my mxpx, ghoti hook phase and fell in love with converse. i ended the year by discovering the cure and fell in love with the color black.

5 Years ago: i was in my sophomore year of college. i lived with melissa hendrix (nee windall) in by far the coolest dorm room i have ever lived in. whenever i think of the best of college, i think of this year, before so many friends left. sara, jon, johnny and i were unseperable and created the greatest spring break ever, camping in carpinteria in Santa Barabara, and learning you can't cook scrambled eggs on an open flame. i apprenticed for worship ministries and started working for starbucks. i was snowboarding five times a week and playing soccer. this was all pre-car accident.

1 Year Ago: i was living in seattle, frequenting cafe ladro and kerry park. and i was contemplating the move back to redding. i was terrified of moving and starting over yet once again, and i was scared of what i was giving up. i put in my two weeks, rented a moving van, and started this blog shortly upon returning to redding.

Yesterday: i went with my family to watch my uncle Tom be inducted into the Chico State Athletic Hall of Fame, for both soccer and basketball. After 35 years, he still holds two records for being a Keeper in Soccer. Graham came down, and it was really great to be with family.

5 Songs I Know All the Words To: any and every song by the cure. lets specify with letter to elise and just like heaven. mineral's parking lot. dylan's a hard rains-a gonna fall. ben harper's forever. brighteyes bowl of oranges.

5 Things I’d Do with 100 Million Dollars: pay of student loans. travel the world. invest and become a philanthropist. buy property in malta. create funding to rescue the invisible children of Africa.

5 Places I’d Run Away To: London, Lijiang, Seattle, Monaco and Paris

5 Things I’d Never Wear: Uggs and mini skirts. tanktops with rhinestones on them. platform shoes. feathered bangs.

5 Favorite TV Shows: Friends. The OC. thats it.

5 Biggest Joys: The first fall rain when the leaves are changing color. discovering new music. my little brother theo laughing. being with someone who knows you so well. solitude with God.

5 Favorite Toys: my baby pink espresso machine. my polaroid camera. my get away vehicle. my restaraunt bar blender and my taylor.
