Thanks, Marta, for the tag.
what were you doing 10 years ago? Running wild. I had been expelled from my hoity-toity Catholic high school about 6 months earlier and I was living alone in Philadelphia during what should have been my senior year. I was scraping by on an astoundingly small amount of money, drinking free coffee all day at the Last Drop Coffeehouse. And drinking free beer at Dirty Franks all night. And falling in love with innapropriate, toxic men. I called myself a writer. I read Tarot cards for money. I refused to get a real job or go to school. I was about a month away from meeting my future husband, and he was one of the few men in my life I didn't fall instantly in love with.
