I've been tagged...

Okay, so I was technically tagged one week ago by Jessie, but I'm finally getting around to it. Here we go.

10 years ago:
I was still one year away from starting high school. I would have been playing a lot of soccer at the time, practicing with Vernal's traveling team and preparing for the tournaments we would compete in during the summer. I would have been riding my bike all over the place and kicking it with my friends.

5 years ago:
I'd just finished my freshman year of school at BYU and returned to Vernal. I went back to work at Burger King and was frequently closing at night. That meant I wouldn't get home until around 11:30. Being full of energy, I would stay up late watching movies and reading books and wouldn't get to bed typically before 2 a.m. Also, I was preparing to leave on my mission to Ribeirao Preto. Since most of my friends were not in Vernal, I had a lot of time on my hands, and this was the period in which I was most productive in the writing of my novel.

5 months ago:
It was February and I was heavily burnt out with school. Graduation was still 2+ months away and seemed like it would never come. Going to school nonstop since Fall 2005 wasn't necessarily the best idea, in retrospect. It did, however, allow me to graduate with two bachelor's degrees in 4 years.

5 Things on my To-Do List:
1. Figure out accomodations for my trip to Chicago
2. Do laundry
3. Finally watch Ikiru so I can return it to Netflix
4. Actually do some worthwhile writing
5. Get copies of The Book Thief to members of The Book Club

5 Snacks:
1. Pringles
2. Beef jerky
3. Buttery microwave popcorn
4. Ice cream
5. Pistachios

5 Billionaire things:
1. Buy a beach in Brazil and build a simple bungaloo to live in
2. Build a recording studio with top of the line equipment
3. Amass the largest private library in the world
4. Establish and administer a very large scholarship fund
5. Publish aspiring writers' work and produce aspiring musicians' albums

5 Places I have Lived:
1. Vernal, UT
2. Provo, UT
3-5. Various places in Brazil

5 Things You Might Not Know About Me:
1. I was obsessed with baseball as a child and had an encyclopedic memory of stats
2. I absolutely hated cheese (except mozzarella) and would not eat it until my mission
3. I won my school's geography bee in the fifth grade
4. I have Type 1 diabetes
5. There is more to me than my sarcastic/cynical side

5 People I Tag:
I'll go for six: Justin and his wife Jesse, Whitney and his wife Paige, Jeff and his wife Amy

There we have it. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to play some pool ball.
