fpb20 years ago I...
1. Was studying to get through my last A-levels and my Oxbridge entrance examination
2. Was living in Oxford with an incredibly chatty and comic landlady
3. Had survived the Army and the horrors of a lost love.
15 years ago I...
1. Was proposing to the love of my life, D***** W******.
2. Was doing my second and final year at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
3. Was having trouble with people who were defaming me to the college authorities.
10 years ago I...
1. Was writing, drawing and reviewing comics almost full-time.
2. Was briefly in love with a butch lesbian, but...
3. ...then met D***** W****** on the steps of Tottenham Court Road tube station after not having seen her for three or four years, and it was like, "Hunh? C**** who?"
5 years ago I...
1. Was over the moon about having my first book of historical research published by a proper academic outfit
2. And made up my mind to commit myself to research, since I seemed to be getting someplace there
3. On the other hand, I could not get over losing DW finally and for ever.
3 years ago I...
1. Was moving towards the end of a gigantic research project about sixth-century Britain.
2. Had finally moved out of the worst house share of my life, thank God! (It was with a criminal and a drug addict.)
3. Thought things would be looking up from now on.
1 year ago I...
1. Knew things would not be looking up in a hurry.
2. Was evicted from a houseshare in Hackney, after a rotten year in which everything went wrong and I lost touch with all my friends.
3. Was becoming familiar with the Internet.
This year I...
1. Moved into a small flat in Ilford.
2. Suffered an atrocious disappointment after hoping to get into a job I would have loved.
3. Got sucked into the addictive vortex that is HP fandom.
Yesterday I...
1. Possessed myself of a book that I wanted by improper means.
2. Borrowed another, by marginally less improper means.
3. Spent most of the day reading.
Today I...
1. Had a singularly pleasant awakening.
2. Decided to do some writing.
3. Stumbled into this meme and found an excuse not to write.
Tomorrow I...
1. Go to Mass.
2. Do some writing - probably finish at least one more HP story
3. Scan some original Celtic material and do some analysis.
