Where were you on 11/5/97 ?

Where were you on November 5 1997? It's a weird question, but in my fantasy world, it's known as 'The Day That Time Stood Still.' Again, it's from the awesome book series called 'The Seems.' Maybe something happened. Maybe not. But something did to you. Something big. I know you can do it. The human mind is powerful. If you just think thoughts of the words "November fifth 1997" you might be able to do it. Just think back. Something on a seemingly random day... but there's no such thing as a random day. and read The Seems, by Hulme & and Wexler.

Gotta run... try it!

Umm... seventh grade. Not a great year for me. Bad hair cut, acne started, braces put on, oh and glasses... eek! I was (wait was?!) such a geek. The date though? Either in school or playing basketball.

I was 5 that year so I really can't remember what I did that exact day

i was five years old, and was only a few months in to school. i was probably hanging out with vinnie or spencer or alex. we liked to have races across the playground and sometimes they would even let me win.

Chilcott - bloody spell check...

I had just shaken hands with a man who went on to become a murdering war criminal, he just recently gave evidence to the Chilton Inquiry into the Iraq war...
oh yeah - and Nelson Mandela...

firework show at the castle grounds adjacent to the Civic centre that night was truly spectacular - for all those foreign dignitaries...

good day really...

I walked along the streets of Paris, knowing that the man I had just left behind in New York was going to become my husband.

I tried to blow up the british parliament.

remember, remember, the fifth of november,

My father died on the 31st of October 1997. So I was prolly dealing with the aftermath.

I was in the third grade probably thinking up new ways to cheat on my spelling tests. The only subject I couldn't get an A in.

i was probably high and listening to pink floyd
thinking about life
man lol

sweet lord
i could have been anywhere

I was married and living with my husband and our son, then 11 years old. A friend of my husband had been staying with us. As it turned out he was the guest from hell. He was scheduled to leave the next day, and I couldn't wait.

I was also awaiting the results of a biopsy to see if I had cancer, and my mother would be having a lumpectomy in three days. Both my mother and I were found to be cancer-free.

I was probably at school, or skipping school... because that's what all the cool kids did. Maybe that was the day I wrote my World Issues mid term on shrooms... any which way, I was 17 and an idiot.
