"You wake up one morning and discover that you got knocked in the head and are suffering from amnesia regarding the last... let's say five years. As far as your memories are concerned, it's February 2003. Someone close to you sits down with you and gives you a summary of who you are right now -- all of your activities, your relationships, and your interests.
"What would be the biggest surprise? Would you be pleased?"

Then I would spend a long time sobbing about almost all the romantic relationships that mattered to me being completely eradicated in the course of five years.

I would have been in college, I think Nick and I were casually dating at the time, and I still had my horse, and I wasn't working. I wasn't into birds at that time either.
I am not sure how I would feel. I think I would be upset...I would have lost so much emotional stuff in that time period it wouldn't be fair. I loved (in ways I didn't know were possible), lost (and felt the pain I never knew existed), learned (in addition to college, I learned about life - what it is to be an adult) and fought (about things I didn't know I even cared about), I grew up and graduated, began working full time and got married. I bought a house.
I wouldn't know what to do with out those. The last 5 years have probably been the most important ones of my life.

Shit -- why aren't I done with my dissertation? If I was going to skip anything, it should be that!
Aww...I has a cat and a turtle! And whoa -- a retirement fund!
Dad quit his job? Grandma's 90! Huh -- seems I missed a few friends' weddings. I forgot learning to scuba dive in Thailand...guess I'll just have to do it again!

And I'd doubtless be a bit unnerved to learn that the cute guy I barely said "hi" to at a recent (that is, Jan 2003) party was now a serious living-with type of SO. But pleased. Cause gosh he sure was pretty :)
