There's this game in the blog world called tagging. Just like the game you play as a kid, someone tags you which means it's your turn to answer questions. Till today, I've not been tagged. But my friend Jenny at Standing at the Water's Edge tagged me, so here goes:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their name, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
What I was doing 10 years ago
Let me see. April '98. I was living in Taiwan, working as an editor for Studio Classroom. The year leading up to my 30th birthday (November that year) was a hard one. Lots of life lessons. A time in my life I wouldn't want to go through again. I was probably trying to get ahead on editing so I could leave for a trip to LA. I believe I went to the FOLIO: conference that year for the first time.

2. Fresh, home-made fruit smoothies
3. Fresh, home-made cookies
4. Fresh, buttery popcorn
5. Anything made from good chocolate
