This is a very old website, with very old links, converted from Google Classic to the new Google Sites. Little of it will be updated.

In the course of deleting my stupid Yahoo account (and, apparently and consequently, my Flickr account), I've gotten down to eliminating all Calendar events. What I hadn't realized was that it is still storing all the old events I'd logged into that calendar from forever ago, including my friend Jarrin's 1984-themed party back in August of 1999. So what else have I been up to all these years?
At the end of 2000 I saw Requiem For a Dream, my mom moved into her new house up north, and my friend Kristen got married on December 9. My friend worm was still hosting Vampire RPGs, and I was still writing music reviews for Demorama.
In 2001 I went to a house party in LaCrosse, WI. I have band practice with Psychopop listed, as well as a WWF pay-per-view, and Kung Fu Grilling was in its heyday (I even have my old street address and phone number listed in the event reminder). My sister graduated from the U of M on December 9.
I started work at Citizen's Scholarship Foundation of America in early 2002, for my calendar is full of work-related dates. Heidi left to start setting things up in Toronto in August, then toured Australia in September. I have us scheduled for a movie on August 28, but one week before that was a very unpleasant talk with Jeremy. I guess I really was using this calendar to track everything. On October 24, Heidi took me to see They Might Be Giants perform with McSweeney's at the Fitzgerald Theater.
The first time I have SUPERGAME listed is January 18, 2003. Also this year: my father flew in from Hawaii to visit during February, and some of my friends got to meet him then. I hosted a grilling in March to move me out of my Como house and into the haunted place on Dupont... is that right? 2003? And apparently I started hanging out with someone I had an intense crush on, who shall go nameless here. It didn't work out, anyway. In May I met with Dr. Donna den Boer to discuss setting up a Web site for her, since she was so helpful in the course of my cat's demise, and I shopped for suits for Amanda & Collin's wedding, which was August 23. In October I saw Low at the Triple Rock and celebrated the 100th Kung Fu Grilling at Jarrin's Hallowe'en party. Mom took me to see 12th Night at the Guthrie, the next month, and They Might Be Giants played at Wild Rumpus Books but I didn't see them. In December, Matt & Sharon hosted their Masquerade, for which we had prepared with a mask-making party.
January 2004 started with another unpleasant conversation: after a string of unfortunate coincidences and some rampant misinterpretation of events, I had some things to straighten out with a certain someone. I also started going for dim sum at Mandarin Kitchen in Bloomington and karaoke at Stasiu's in Nordeast. Worm hosted a very successful tea party in April, and in June I became excited to have a regular dance night to attend: Element 27 in the VIP Lounge at First Avenue. June also saw a camping event in Jay Cooke State Park with friends, and I was laid off from Scholarship America. I attended an orientation for returning to school at Metro State in October. I was invited to an anime party for which I dressed up as a zombie, and... was promptly ignored by everyone else there, including the one who invited me. I ended up getting some good photos of myself in a graveyard until the cops showed up.
In early 2005 I started dating a very interesting and attractive woman introduced to me through mutual friends. Mid-05, my good friend Jennifervescent happened to be in town so we went out for drinks.
It seems that 2006 saw a lot of drinking with friends. That's about all I have scheduled for the whole year, except in December when I set up a reminder to cancel my membership to FastCupid, a personals network.
Even less is listed in 2007: in February, I cancelled my Match.com account, and in September I dropped my mom off at the airport.
In late 2008 I was well into my Writing classes at Metro State and I attended my first Drunken Spelling Bee. It's clear that I'm no longer relying on Yahoo Calendar to keep track of anything.
