Number of people in swap:14
Location:International
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:February 1, 2009
Date items must be sent by:February 13, 2009
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone all the events in my past. I have just turned 41 and all can remember is I did some things. The challenge is to take the years in your life starting from your birthday to the present day. Write a short couple of sentences about an event that occured in your life that year. If you cannot remember (who can remember year 1?) use other people's recollections or events occuring in the media. The more local the better. They can be as important or as trivial as you wish.

The letter will be sent snail mail. International and newbie swappers welcome.

Oh, I wish the due date was a little further out. I'd love to join this one, but I know I won't have time to do any more writing swaps this month. If you ever do another round let me know.

I'm with thatzghetto -- I'll be away during that week -- I hope you'll do another later on

Yes, same here! I am fully swap-booked for January - but I will definitely join one for February, or even later.

This looks like fun. I might join. I've had a regular journal since I could write, and before that my mom wrote things down for me (and my sibs) since I was a baby, so it would be easy for me to come up with things about me for most years.

I'd love to join this but can't have any more deadlines for January....maybe if you do it Feb or March I would join.

After receiving comments from people interested in participating next month, I have shifted the dates to final signup as February 1 and send date as February 13. I hope this will be agreeable to all.

Oh thank you so much Chaz. I am so stoked to sign up!

Oh dear -- I was so excited after you changed the dates I sat down and started doing the list. Got to 21 and then got overwhelmed. You see, I'm 70 and when I start thinking of all that happened between 21 and, say 51, there's no way I can put it in order and remember when was what as dates aren't my strong memory signposts. I'd just have to go by decades and that's not your instructions. It's nice to have had an interesting life . But I have to drop out cause I can't do this properly. You kicked off a line of thought I'm going to pursue. Thanks.

If you become stuck on a year, you can go to a search engine and see what events occured during that year. Then, come up with an opinion of where you were or how you felt. This can include television, movies, songs, etc. Don't worry too much about accuracy, the point of this swap is to take a journey.
