Poll: where were you 10 yrs ago (june 99)

Stolen poll that sounded like fun.

Me: Was getting ready to graduate from high school.  Would have been just around prom time, so I'm sure I was sleeping on my friend's couch with a massive hangover :)

    Pretty much the same, except I was sleeping in a hotel room recovering from our boat cruise.  My mom was at my grandfathers memorial service but my whole family insisted on me going to my prom instead.

    Proud Mama to two sweet kiddos.
  • Around now I was probably doing the "post prom party" party getting massivly drunk with some friends for the third night in a row and getting ready to spend a summer sailing on a tall ship.?

  • High School Prom season - followed by a wicked party at the cottage. I had just started dating my summer fling before heading to University - Adam.  Was planning on having a summer at the cottage before we all headed our different ways... that was a good summer now that I remember it.

  • I was just about to start my summer job at a moving company (in the retail sales department). DH and I were living at my parent's house that summer, and did a family vacation to FL in May. DH and I were just about to celebrate 1 yr together (which makes 11 yrs on Sunday).
  • finishing grade 10 :S
  • In Montreal - had just finished my 3rd year University. I think I stayed in Montreal that summer too taking a summer course so that I didn't have a full course load in my final year.
  • I would have JUST graduated HS in May, and was enjoying my last summer home before going off to college. I was working at Disney, dancing in the parades :)
  • I was in Italy missing my boyfriend like crazy!! 
  • I was a freshman in high school and was ditched the day before senior prom by my senior boyfriend! LOL. We are now best friends and he works for me! Wow, I can't believe that was 10 years ago... Surprise
  • good poll!

    I already graduated (1998)... then I had a weird year where I tried an advertising program at a college (I got into Carleton with a scholarship and I turned it down b/c I didn't want to move away from my boyfriend - yes, I'm an idiot - and he broke up with me 3 weeks before school started).

    Anyhow, I hated that program, dropped out at winter break, and worked - so this time in 1999, I was teaching a boat load of dance and serving in a dress/casual restaurant, and had just accepted an offer into UofT for the fall.

    Oh, and I was partying up large - I'm glad I got those crazy years out of my system!

  • I was working as the manager of a general contracting division of an aboriginal property management company. We were just finishing a daycare that was made of straw bales! We were also in the middle of a large casino expansion project...I miss those days!

    Well...if I remember correctly, I would have been going on first post-divorce date, (a year and a bit after my ex-left), and running around after a 14 month old wonder boy!  Lots has happened in 10 years...
  • I was in between my 3rd and 4th year of University and had just broken up with my boyfriend of 3 years.
  • Well I was just graduating the 8th grade..I was 13.  I think I win the award for youngest poster on here Indifferent
  • imageMrsLana:
    finishing grade 10 :S

    Me too, so probably learning how to drive and getting pumped for my first summer as a camp counselor (best summer job ever!)

  • I was just finishing up my Masters and studying for my Chartered Accounting exam....I was living in Waterloo (where I went to school) and had been dating DH for 8 months.
  • This post makes me feel old.
  • June 99 just finished grade 11...hmmmm..getting drunk/stoned almost?every night since it was summer time!! I would have been drunk with lust for DH at this time too which meant I was constantly arguing with my then boyfriend.

  • I was finishing grade 11... so exams probably... and I had just started dating someone for the summer so I was hanging out in the mall where he worked a lot. That summer I went to Europe for 5 weeks with my family!! Other than Europe, I did a lot of driving around in my car listening to Backstreet Boys, lol!!
  • 10 years ago I had just graduated from college and I was studying like mad for my provincial licensing exams in July. Exciting I know.

    I am right there with you!  I think I might have been graduating from grade nine though!  wow I feel young!

     You and me both!

  • I was probably working full time at the Xray clinic and working at all the proms at the Convention Centre. Plus I was training and racing every chance I got (ie: every Wednesday and Sunday). My life was crazy back in the day!
  • wait-edit my answer. No stone action, I quit drugs that winter. It was making me feel not so smrt after all those years. Because drinking yourself into oblivion does not at all affect your brain cells or liver, right? Gah.
  • I was probably writing my grade 10 final exams :) I was probably really excited to only have 2 more years left of high school!!
  • I was in Grade 10 I had a HUGE crush on one of my friends and was hoping that he would ask me to grad.

  • I was singing in a band as a full time gig...and living the dream life and reckless abandon of a Rock Star!

    I wanna rock n roll all night and party everyday.

    Also?  getting alot of play.

    hahahaha...good times.

  • I was finishing grade 10. ?Probably?getting ready to sing/play at the grad ceremonies.
  • Finishing Grade 10. Wow, there's a lot of us, isn't there? Probably looking for my first real job, and getting ready to do massive volunteer hours - that was the summer the Western Canada Summer Games were in my hometown. I think I'd just gotten my learner's permit the month before, too.
  • Nothing very interesting. I had just finished my first year of a two-year journalism program in Ottawa and was back in my hometown working my summer factory job.
