Congratulations America
I was in the same place. But back then I was a student.

laughing at how horrible the north east's power grid is/was.

I was doing the same as Ominous. About half of my FPS clan was in the region and were missing out on a lot of fun.
In the Dark in Queens...no AC.
Brevior saltare cum deformibus viris est vita
Watched parents relationship break down, gave up further education due to my head being all fuzzy and then getting a full time job. I don't miss those years, certainly regret a few decisions I made 10 years ago. I should have enjoyed myself more and not been reclusive.
Never mind, eh.
Serial killing.
Also, the bars were basically giving away their liquor.
This usually happens if you go to said bars wearing a ski mask, kicking the front door in, while leveling a shotgun at anyone in range and screaming at them "Gimme ya fooking beerah"...

I suppose that works, but I think befriending bartenders/bar owners is easier in the long run
Being amused at having a Monday/Wednesday/Friday work calendar and thus not having to think about getting down from the 30th floor or getting home from 10 miles away.
Hope is the denial of reality
Ten years ago; about to turn 30, working in financial services, living with then girlfriend, looking to buy a house together.
Now; about to turn 40, working in financial services, living with current girlfriend, looking to buy a house together.
At least I know what I'll be doing when I'm about to turn 50.
Getting Married. Moving Apartments because the previous one burned down. Living in Maine.
Get off my lawn
I can live without #16 and #17

Fortunately the blackout didn't reach up there because you had access to sweet sweet Canadian electricity, right?
I was packing my freezer with hard to find ice bags, and trying to cook perishable meats on the charcoal grill...during the electrical brown-out.
By happenstance, I was also dealing with relationship issues described by Lor and Tim.
One decade is more powerful and important than most of us would like to admit. The trajectory and impact of time is enough to fuck up many of today's legislators, politicians, voters, parents, students.
Just about to start my 2nd year of uni in Leicester. Younger, fitter, better looking, and probably happier.
How do you expect to run with the wolves at night when you spend all day sparring with the puppies?

10 years ago - in college working part time at fast food. Its interesting while I do feel much more satisfied where I am in life but I do miss all the free time I had. Staying up to 5 AM on a raid and blowing off class was pretty nice.
Raid? As in, a Warcraft raid?
Oh, poor thing. I age like wine. I am fitter, better looking and happier than ever. It's just the hangovers that get worse, it's not the same anymore.

This thread needs Gentry.
Don't they all?
She could have been getting a tattoo, or having one removed.
That would be the "Where were you a hundred years ago?" thread.

Is it a sad comment on this forum's modern relevance, or its longevity....that no poster has said they were barely out of diapers ten years ago?
No?
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Well, I lament the absence of young people joining this forum. Didn't you "find" the Atari forums in your own teen years?
EQ but now that I think about it 10 years ago I think I had moved on to FFXI - bleh hard to remember the details.
The odds of additional young posters is pretty dang slim.
Well, your kids will be on here in a few years time, then we can start indoctrinating the next generation in our evil librul ways.
