Today, sometime around 6:00 pm EST, the earth will be in the same approximate place in its orbit when I was born thirty years ago.

My life in a series of pie charts (all the numbers are years, rounded up or down as necessary):

So, you can see a great deal of time has been spent in school–and I’m not done yet! Likely, I’ll end up at York for 8 years. So far, 46% of my education has been completely funded by the public and 10% of it has been a joint effort on the part of the public, my parents and me.

I wasn’t that successful a Casanova until my twenties. If you saw me in high school, you would understand why.

I lived in Paris for the first four years of my life. I then moved to Guelph, where you can see that I have lived the bulk of my life. I lived in Midland for one year while I worked at the Wye Marsh Wildlife Center. It was probably the loneliest year of my life. Thankfully, things have been much better since I moved back to Guelph (to move back in with Mum and live in the basement) and then on to Toronto.

This is the only chart where the numbers shouldn’t add up to thirty, as there is an overlap between Ollie and Max. Mizie was the family dog when I was born. She disappeared one day at my grandparents, but we suspect that since she was a Dachshund Scottie cross, she went down a groundhog hole and got stuck.

I switched my diet 4 years ago.

I was interested to see that I’ve been an “adult” for more time then any other development stage. This may explain why students think I’m old.
