Strange co-incidence

[eebs]

I don't normally keep receipts but while converting St Etienne's 'too young to die' singles collection, I found a receipt dated 17 November 1995 (paid £9.74 with my 25% staff discount, bargain).

2 minutes later I posted a message and noticed my forkers joining date - 17 November 2005.

Any guesses what I was doing on 17 November 1985 or 1975?

I don't know what I was doing in 1975 on that particular day.

But I'm pretty sure I know what I did two or three times on Nov. 17, 1985. It was the same thing I did two or three times every day when I was fifteen.

no idea what you were doing paul.

but let me take a guess at what I was doing.

Nov. 1975, I was probably doing the hustle

Nov. 1985, praying the school year would end so I could get the hell out (forever)

Nov. 1995 most likely rock n rolling with the best of them

Nov. 2005 I think I might have been in London....or just back from there.

oh, hey, my turn.

nov, 1975: sitting in god's loving bosom waiting to be brought to life. in nine years.

nov, 1985: drooling. eating. pooping. crying.

nov, 1995: annoying my parents by being into grunge and alternative rock and stealing my dad's flannel shirts from his closet. probably whining about math homework or something equally important.

nov, 2005: drinking heavily. bitching about snow. going to class. acting in "the good woman of setzuan."
