This is a great blog from Lilysea. I think everyone should do it. It's a great alternative to the "100 Things About Me" lists. The idea is to give one sentence for each year of your life.
0-1. I was born in Cottage Grove, Oregon to my single, 19 year-old mama.
1-2. My father married my step-mother.
2-3. My mom asked the babysitter to stop having me nap during the day, as I wasn't sleeping at night.
3-4. My mom married my step-father.
4-5. I learned to read.
5-6. My brother was born.
6-7. I started school.
7-8: I started to really hate being a kid.
8-9. I decided that I was morally opposed to learning my multiplication tables.
9-10. I was sent to the principal's office for the first time, for refusing to stop arguing with my 4th grade teacher.
10-11. I grew over an inch a month for most of the year.
11-12. I was sent to the principal's office again, again for refusing to stop arguing, this time about reproductive rights.
12-13. I got caught by my mom making out with my best (girl)friend.
13-14. I wrote my first (and only) novel.
14-15. I drank until I blacked out for the first time.
15-16. I had sex with a male for the first time.
16-17. I got my driver's license, even though I ran a stop sign during the test.
17-18. I thought of nothing else but getting out.
18-19. I began two of my most tumultuous and bittersweet relationships--one with Reed College, one with Simon.
19-20. I participated in my first (and only) open relationship.
20-21. I worked harder than any other year of my life, and I got the 4.0 that made it worth while.
21-22. I got kicked out of my first (and only) bar.
22-23. Mark and I got together, finally.
23-24. Mark and I moved to Texas and adopted Chance.
24-25. I began to get really freaking irritated about not knowing what I was going to be when I grow up.
25-26. Chance died.
26-27: My family grew. My relationship matured. I grew up. Hopefully more of that to come.

Bah, that's one of those I always spell wrong, for some reason.
