Many years ago
Stephanie tagged me, and hey, why not, I am answering.
Ten Years Ago: I was a young girl of 16, going to catholic school, taking all the hard classes, and scoring straight A's. I worked part time and drove my family's old car to school. My friends called it "the box". I had just gone on my first date with a senior from the boys school next door, and thought it was way more serious than he did.
Five Years Ago: I was going to Arizona State and majoring in photography. Looking back on it, this was a fun and free time in my life. I had a darkroom in my closet, rode my bike to class, and frequently showed work at campus galleries. The weather was gorgeous every day. Things were falling apart with my long-term bf, but I didn't really get it and kept trying to make it work. We drove around in his car and listened to great music. The professional world loomed, and I applied to grad school in distant states.
One Year Ago: In much the same place I am now.. living in NYC and a member of the working world. I was a year out of grad school, training for my first marathon and loving every minute of it.

Five Places To Run Away To: um, I have no idea how to answer this question. 1)My dad's house upstate, 2)Colorado, 3)Germany, 4)somewhere tropical, 5)home
Five Things I Would Never Wear: 1) Pretend leather anything, 2) Midriff-revealing tops, 3) Jeans that don't fit well, 4)Clothes with huge logos, 5) shoulder pads.
Five Favorite TV Shows: 1) Six Feet Under, 2) House, 3) The Sopranos, 4) Law and Order, 5) Gilmore Girls
Five Biggest Joys: 1) Lying in the grass on a gorgeous day, 2) The post-run nap, 3) Knitting, 4) Successful design, 5) Good art, 6) The way my cat is so happy to see me at the end of the day, 7) Really connecting with someone.
Five Favorite Toys: 1) iPod, 2) Knitting things, 3) sketchbook, 4) sewing machine, 5) a juicy black pen.
I'll tag Purly and Amelia (she's knitting my SYNO scarf), that is, if you haven't already done this! And if you're opposed to these things, I won't feel bad or anything.

It's great to learn more about you!
I love Haribo gummi bears too. For some reason, I can only find them here at Michaels (of all places).

Haribo bears are my favorite too! I pick them up every time I am at World Market/Cost Plus... and when I was pregnant, well, we sometimes made trips out for them specifically! I love the green ones!

Damnit, just when I thought I was going to get away with not answering this one. I even thought to myself earlier this morning, I'm not answering this unless anyone but Diana tags me.
Your answers are fun though!
