mattlistenerAge: THEN:21, NOW:31, FUTURE:41.
Employment: THEN: Last semester of undergrad at the U of Chicago. NOW: 3/5 Unix Sysadmin, 1/5 Massage Therapist, 1/5 Psychotherapist. FUTURE: Whatever combination of things feels sustainable and interesting.
Address: THEN: Chicago, Hyde Park. NOW: Boston, Davis Square. FUTURE: Boston, probably at the we-can-afford-a-house perimeter.
Residence: THEN: The Vortex (dorm room that had seen the genesis of my community there). NOW: funky but comfortable 1-br basement apt. FUTURE: 2-br house or condo.
Pets: THEN: cat and dog from childhood growing elderly back in Maine. NOW: Young adult cat (growing weirder every month). FUTURE: Cat or cats, for sure.
Kids: THEN: inconceivable. NOW: None, but feeling fatherly inclinations. FUTURE: depends partly on being in range of Sudbury Valley School.
Partner: THEN: in an LDR with a wacky, insightful, very intelligent woman I met on alt.angst and hadn't seen in person yet -- she who came up to live in Hyde Park and became the "competently abusive girlfriend" of my ensuing year. NOW: Living with and loving my favorite person ever, comfortably life-committed. FUTURE: More of that, and another partner (secondary? third lover in the family?).
Education: THEN: 95% of a BA in Philosophy. NOW: That, and a Diploma in Counselling from the U of Strathclyde, and a 2-year training in Massage Therapy from the MTI. Busy me! FUTURE: Implementation is higher priority than more school.
Religion: THEN: None, with spiritual leanings. NOW: Deeply moved by unexpected things, attending Pagan retreats. FUTURE: Maybe I'll find out from my kids?
Games: THEN: Insane card games with normal decks (Mao, Squeal). NOW: German board and card games, and Squeal has returned. FUTURE: Something... I can't imagine not wanting to play games some of the time.
