1961: neither my sisters nor I were born yet. My parents were married, I think, and living in Rustin, LA.

1971: I was born and had two older sisters. We were living in Charleston where my dad taught civil engineering at the Citadel. We lived in a small attached house on campus.

1981: we'd moved twice now, still on campus, to increasingly nicer houses as my dad moved up in rank and got tenure. I was in 5th grade and it sucked. I had two best friends I still see occasionally.

1991: ah, college. My dad had died 3 years earlier, my mom was teaching middle school, one sister was in the navy and the other had just moved to NYC. I'd discovered drinking and bisexuality and snow and fluffernutters, was taking Japanese, French and Italian and starting to panic abt declaring a major.

2001: living in NYC in the loft with sister and her future husband. The company I worked for closed in the collapse of the tech bubble, my sister and I volunteered at ground zero, I found another job, we went to Italy--overall, it was kindof a rollercoaster year.

2011: I'm living in charleston with a partner and 2 kids. I just got my second masters, neither of which are doing me any good and am job hunting.
