I appreciate no longer being the oldest person on my timeline doing this.

oh dear.

I started working at FedEx Office that year, after my job as a high school tutor ended

That was a thing. Were you on missions back then?

I'd been home from my mission two years by that point - 2002 to 2004 was when I was out

between aborted attempts to finish my bachelor's degree at that point, I think

Trying, without great success, to find a comfortable place for myself in the LDS young single adult social scene

Dating, uh. I probably went on a date at some point in that year, I think?

I remember a lot a lot of my mission friends getting married that year, which didn't help anything.

I didn't get Bell's Palsy till next year, so at least I still liked how I looked in pictures
