The Friday Five @ Live Journal:

1) Realistically, where do you think you'll be five years from now? What job will you be working, will you have family/friends/pets, where will you be living and how? Five years from now, I hope to be working and maybe working on a Master's Degree in history. I hope to have ^Pikachu with me. I hope to be living in North Georgia or around Chattanooga. The scenery there is very pretty and I'm just a southern girl at heart. I know I will have friends but they will be scattered around the country, like they are now. As for family, I'll still have my immediate family just a phone call and a drive away. I really couldn't tell you if I would be married by then. Some days I think I will. Other days, I doubt it. Today, I doubt it.

2) Unrealistically, given a perfect life, where do you want to be five years from now? Five years from now, unrealistically, out of debt, have some extra money lying around for anything I want, money invested, and be married to the person I was meant for. I'm not pushing for the 2.5 kids at this time. By the way, what exactly is that .5 child? Well, I don't want to be rich. I just want to be comfortable. They are not the same.

3) What's the big barrier keeping number one and two separate and distinct, or is there one? The big barrier? Well, let's see…there are two. One, I'm still in school. Two, I'm in debt. Three, I haven't snagged/captured/found Mr. 99.44% Right.

4) Utterly and completely abandoning realism, make up where you'll be in five years. Alien abductions and portals to alternate universes are encouraged. Ok, ok. Just yesterday I was explaining to Mike I can't abandon realism in my make-believe. But since you asked for it, here it goes. Being with Barry Zito in Atlanta as he plays for the *Braves. Is that cool enough? Damn, he would look sexy in that Bravos outfit. :lick: You asked for it!

5) Where did you believe you'd be now, five years ago? Pick a crucial event of the past five years and tell us where you’d be now if it had been different. Five years ago, if I had bitten the bullet and gone back to school in 1999 instead of being all depressed as I was, I might be out of this place be now. As for what I wish I was doing now back when I was 20, I hoped to have been married to a cute guy like J.C. Chasez. Well, times change. J.C. Chasez is no longer hot to me. :laugh: I'm in school. Life goes on.

It was fun answering these questions but I have got to stop questioning myself and God about destiny. I honestly try and want to believe that God has certain plans for me and that it will work out. And yes, I know these are from last week. I don't mind doing them now. :P
