meme

dunno why, but i'm feeling the need to do this one.

1. what was i doing 10 years ago?
the boy and i had just graduated from the university of waterloo with shiny new degrees in rhetoric and professional writing. the boy had started at quarry and i was helping a friend with a tech writing contract while shelving books at the kpl part time. we were living in our bright apartment on caroline street, right off waterloo park and close to uptown. i drive by that apartment daily. i think, hk, that you were still living with us then.

Yes, we indeed lived together 10 years ago. I was in my second last semester, and you were just entering the workforce post-graduation. It was a lovely summer. In fact, I might do this meme too, just for fun! But, why is it called a "meme"?
