I'm going to try my best to pull things out of my memory bank for each year, but I can't guarantee that they are memories of my own or memories that have been retold to me. For some of the years, I may not remember anything, so you may see a really lame Tweet for those... but then again, we all have lame Tweets sometimes (#lonely #bored, anyone? Yeah, you know those Tweets).
Also, the Tweets from 2010-present are really Tweets that I posted on my Twitter account. Real life, baby (sidenote: as I looked back through my Tweets, I realized how embarassing and stupid some were... I may have to do some damage control on those). Finally, the Twitter handle I use here is not my actual Twitter handle.

A few clarifications:
- Idlewild Park is a kid's theme park in PA.
- Interestingly enough, the girl who wore a Spice Girls shirt in 1st grade ended up becoming one of my best friends.
- My parents got family friends to dress up as Beauty and the Beast for one of my birthday parties. They told me their castle was in the woods across the street. I totally bought it.
- Junior Achievement was a really boring school-mandated program, but my mom did put a lot of effort into it, which I now appreciate.
- I do in fact have an '89 Camry. His name is Norm.
- The (real) Tweet from 2010 is about heading to college.
- Sweet potatoes are a gift from heaven.
- I really did just start a healthy living blog. It's something I've wanted to do for a while.
That's all I've got for you now... I'm not Twitter professional, but I can try (and I do, nearly every day with the most boring Tweets imaginable).
haha I loved this! I have never tweeted, but I like the idea of it (if used like this). Loved the pictures too, nice touch. My favorite would have to be the Ariel wedding, that's absolutely precious. Your clarifications were great too, all very entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I might have to steal this later on down the road. When Dave threw out this prompt to the other groups, I was kind of glad I didn't have to fuss with trying to sum up one year in 140 characters. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteThis is rather adorable. I don't think I would be able to come up with memories for each year of my life, so kudos on that. The use of hashtags is a particularly nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this was a cool prompt. I like that you don't really get caught up in capturing an entire year, and just sort of give a random glimpse into your life.
ReplyDeleteFunny, occasionally touching, very solid. It would be interesting to mess with the voice a little, but I also think having an adult persona as a one-year-old is funny too.
ReplyDeleteMy car is named Dennis.

Oh, and very cute theme park picture!
