yes i am ten years older.

jumpguy · 05-10-2009 06:57PM

Are you Pleo?

10 years ago I was 6. I suppose I was expecting to be in secondary school then. A great day, this day 10 years ago was.

sidneykidney · 05-10-2009 06:58PM

Well i thought i be dead,so being alive is somewhat of a bonus.:)

Pleo · 05-10-2009 06:59PM

yea i suppose, finished college still living at home

Captain Havoc · 05-10-2009 07:01PM

No, and since I've given up making plans

KnifeWRENCH · 05-10-2009 07:03PM

The 9 year old me didn't have a clue where I'd be now.

The 19 year old me has no idea where I'll be in 10 years time and the thought of being another 10 years older is terrifying.

liah · 05-10-2009 07:04PM

I doubt it. I haven't a clue what I thought when I was 12.

The Big Red Button · 05-10-2009 07:05PM

I don't know ... well I suppose I always wanted to do medicine, what I'm actually doing now is completely different. But apart from that, ten years ago I was fourteen, all I probably cared about was what would happen if I kissed someone else who was also wearing braces, not what I'd be doing in ten years time!!!

Bob_Harris · 05-10-2009 07:05PM

I'm 23 now and have wasted every day of my life so far, so ya I'm pretty much where I though I would be.

Nope. I thought I'd surely be inhabiting a Blade Runner type world by 2009. :mad:

almostnever · 05-10-2009 07:13PM

I thought I'd be in college. I'm repeating the Leaving.
So,in short,no.

robbie_998 · 05-10-2009 07:13PM

no, my Jamaican bobsled team never won a medal

:(:(

Hellm0 · 05-10-2009 07:13PM

10 years ago I thought many things, I'm probably not where I would have aimed for (much currency and unlimited women) but I am close enough.

Ten years ago, I was two days away from being nine.
It may be hard to believe, but I hadn't yet constructed a long term plan.

I'm happy with where I am though.
I always loved being out doors. Check.
I always wanted to be in a rock band. Check.
I always wanted to go to collage. Check.
I always wanted to be awesome... Double check.:cool:

anniehoo · 05-10-2009 07:38PM

Still single..no! Happy with job, own apartment,car and good social life..yes! So..reasonable.

citizen_p · 05-10-2009 07:39PM

wasnt planning much then...... i was only 7

pikachucheeks · 05-10-2009 07:41PM

Yup

I always wanted to be back in Dublin and study media.

Apologies, it was already mentioned.

Lab_Mouse · 05-10-2009 07:57PM

nope but its been one hell of a ride:)

metaoblivia · 05-10-2009 07:59PM

I can't even tell you where I'm going to be next week, nevermind in 10 years! 10 years ago I was just starting university. I don't think I would have imagined all that I've accomplished since, but that's the spice of life.

Just started for two years, optional 3rd year.
Will probably end up doing that out in Castlebar.

Ehh... What?

Also, one of these days I'll spell college right, first time.

Ten years ago, I was dreading turning 20, it felt so `grown - up`, now I`m 29, and dreading turning thirty and wondering where the hell the last decade of my life went, despite the fact that very little has changed. I`m still single, childless and living in a rented flat (but at least I`ve left home, unlike one person I know).

Neamhshuntasach · 05-10-2009 08:04PM

While high one night i wrote down a list of goals when i was 18.

1. Learn to play an instrument.
2. Learn a foreign language and use it in a country it's spoken in.
3. Set foot on all the continents.
4. Visit 100 countries.
5. Ride a local in each of those 100 countries.

I'm only failing on 4 and 5.

27 countries shy of 100 visited and 29 out of 73 with the locals. So i guess i'm doing okay on where i thought i'd be or have achieved.

Cupcake_Crisis · 05-10-2009 08:06PM

The 10 year old me had very high hopes for the future.
The 20 year old me struggles to get out of bed in the morning..... so no, not excatly where i had hoped...

soups05 · 05-10-2009 08:17PM

yes, i am where i thought (and hoped) i would be in some ways. but not in others.

however....the journey to get here was longer,harder and more terrifying than i could have dared imagine.

had i know the years in-between would be so full of loss,hardship,depression,fear,anger,betrayal and disappointment then i may not have bothered.

still, at least am not bitter

38 and still going. you kids in your 20's will learn

whaa haa haaa

Are you were you thought you would be 10 years ago?
