Sounds like you have had an interesting life! Did you know Oliver Stone is working on a Charles Manson biography?

Oh, as far as 1976: I didn't exist yet. I wasn't born until 1978. I know, I'm young... I feel old because...

2009: I'm a non-traditional economics major in college. I'm 30 and surrounded by 18-24 year olds constantly. I have one year left to go before I have to go get a job or get snapped up by a grad school. When I'm not doing school work I like to code. I made and grew the most trafficked college simulation in the world on SecondLife. It doesn't take up much time since it started moving under it's own momentum so lately I've been working on PHP and SQL and a few other emerging technologies... hopefully someday I'll have a browser based MMO up and running. I doubt that my passion for creating digital content will ever make me any money, but I love doing it.

Oh, I might as well introduce myself again, since most people don't know me here anymore... I'm an old throwback from the pennsic.net days. I haven't been to these boards in years. I used to have fun picking on some of the tuchuks and they enjoyed kicking my butt IRL, but it's ok... I probably deserved it. :)

I haven't been able to get to Pennsic since I went back to college because being a student doesn't pay very much. It's frustrating because I'm like 45 minutes away from Coopers Lake now, at IUP.

LOL being conceived then, born in 77

Now, I exist. ;) BS in Music, run a game development studio, work as an IT admin, as well as a ballroom dance instructor. Have a rock band, and produce music for a rapper, on top of everything SCA. ;)

Hmmm....

I was 6 years old. My entire immediate family and I were all living on a farm in the hills of West Virginia, subsisting mainly on food that we grew there on the farm.

After living down South for 24 years, I have finally returned to the milder climes of the Northeast, with my own family. We couldn't be happier. And as a bonus - I live only a hours drive from Cooper's Lake!

In 1976, I was twelve, living in a small town in SE Michigan, and about as happy as any twelve year old girl every is.

Now, I'm living in SE Pennsylvania, and itching to get back to the small town in Michigan. :-)

1976. I was in third grade living in Norwood Ma. I believe I was in Girl Scouts and just starting to learn the trumpet.

2009

I'm married and living less than 30 miles from where I grew up. I'm married with a teenager who is currently playing in two school bands. I do sci-fi conventions and SCA for fun. Oh and I have pink hair ;)

Well..letsee, I was 4 years old and only a couple of years away from major scoliosis nonsense. Living in a small town in Ontario Canada.

Now...married 2 kids, 2 and 4, both girls no more scoliosis but wicked big scar on my back.. Doing the SAHM thing for one more summer then back to work in the school system. No more SCA for me cause the hubby is a party pooper but I still do Pennsic every year.:)

Hmmm 1976? I was in sixth grade. Helping out my mom with the local Bi-centennial Ball held at the university in the basketball court on NYE. What a way to start the year. We were defintely middle income. Mom was a teacher and dad worked at the bank. We lived in an old victorian house (sort of) in the center of town so I was walking distance from most things including schools. I was well aware of "girls" havign found a stash of Penthouse magazines. Was probably more knowledgeable BUT less experienced than my friends in matters of the opposite sex. I was VERY painfully shy back then. On the cusp of heading to Jr. High and forming a whole new set of friends and experiences. Talk about culture shock. By the end of the summer I had almost died. Tripping while running to the back door and falling thru the glass on the storm door face first. Sliced myself up pretty bad. No swimming that summer.

1976 - I remember getting dressed in costume for the Bicentenial parties.

1009 - I still dress in "costume" every summer. ;)

In 1976, I still had another 9 years before I was born. My parents were 14 and 15.

Let's see.....
1976
I was 9 years old and on trial for shooting my stepfather. He lived but walked with a cane because I shot him in the knee.

2009
I have a stepson myself and there are no guns in the house.

62 years old and just discovering yourself? This is Great, keep that up

76' - my parents hadn't even met yet, and won't for another 4 years, then I'll be born another 8 years later...
