I was RSVPing to an evite, and noticed that I could click on another attendee’s name and see our Shared Events — events to which we were both invited. I hadn’t previously realized that the Shared Events are historical; the ones that have already happened aren’t deleted.
I found myself looking an invitation from 2001, remembering that party, being quietly stunned at the passage of time.
Y’all — have you had similar moments, when you can’t believe it’s been (x) long since (y) happened, and how different things are (or not) since then? Tell me.

Absolutely - we’ve been in the new Coppervale Studio for THREE YEARS now… but every time someone asks us how long it’s been (we’ve been restoring it all the while - it’s a century-old church) I have to think about it, and am ALWAYS surprised it’s been more than a year.
Feels like we’ve been here forever.
Feels like we just moved in.

I graduated from college a year ago.
I feels like a lot longer. This has been one hell of a year.

It’s been three years since I graduated high school…which means I only have a year(ish) until I’m done with college. *That* freaks me out.

Note that I used one of my most pretentious icons for the above pronouncement. The money wasn’t wasted!!

Yeah, definitely.. this year Day of Silence came and went and I couldn’t believe, on that day, that it had been a year since the last one.. really, I can’t believe it’s been a year since everything that happened a year ago, heh. I look back and remember it happening so vividly as though it were last month or something, but really.. it was so long ago!

I live this experience nearly every day of my life. Here’s one that you and I and a few other LJers share: it’s been nearly four years since we all hung out in Manzanita. How do I know? I have been working on the same Sheldon story ever since. Baldwin started working on Little Dee at the same time. I thought of all this a couple weeks ago when his first collection of Little Dee strips came in the mail. As Cathy Guisewhite would say: ack.
Also, a friend of mine turned 37 recently. I remember when she turned 27. And when a certain librarian in England we know turns 38, you’ll hear a giant wooshing sound as the last vestiges of my youth get sucked into the black hole of time. But that’s not for a while yet. :-)

Yeah, that’s right. I quoted Cathy Guisewhite. What of it?

Hi there!
My name is Christina and I’m from Toronto Ontario canada.
anyways I really enjoyed readin empress of the world.
I think it’s an amazingly well written novel that touched my heart in many ways.
I was talking with a few of my close friends yesterdsay and we were thinking it would be FANTASTIC, if you could make it into a movie. I really think that would be incredible. Seeing such an amazing book come to life with real characters. Oh and if you decide to make it into a movie and you know when the auditions are going to be? be sure to contact me haha:P I’m an actress:)
I also read at the back of the book that you are starting a sequal, just wondering if that’s true and if so when it will be comming out.
You can reach me at roxie_xo_babe@hotmail.com
please feel free to contact me with this information.
thanks!
Christina

- I reccomend children to really give you the time bends. And after only six years I already find myself wishing I could go back and do bits of it over again, because I’m better at it and way more comfortable with it now. Not to mention the fact that I’m sometimes afraid I blinked and missed some stuff.
- I’ve been married -how- long?
- In a few weeks it’ll be OUR 15th “anniversary,” dearheart. ‘Nuff said.

What Nevik and Ms_anthropy said - having kids makes you live that nearly every day. Still, sometimes one forgets… and then you have your tenth anniversary, or your daughter is nearly done with her first year of middle school, or you find an ex-girlfriend (who stayed a friend, but with whom you had lost touch) from 1991 on your new-fangled MySpace account. ;)
Hope you don’t mind if I “friend” you!
