I saw somebody else respond in this format so I’m going to provide my misc memories from being 6-16 in the 2000s:
• frying an egg on the sidewalk/asphalt/car hoods with kids from my apartment complex because we were convinced it was that hot out • watching SpongeBob seasons 1-3 on repeat • watching mtv after school and always having a talk show or pbs queued up on the ā€œprevious channelā€ button so if my mom came home I could quickly look like I was watching Ellen or Oprah or cyberspace all along (mtv shows were so raunchy) •you had to watch vh1 for anything music related • catalogs!!! i would do all my ā€œscrollingā€ in limited too catalogs and then dig through racks at tj maxx to find similar things my mom could actually buy •teen mags for the quizzes • driving around with my mom listening to her cds while she smoked and ran errands (honestly this still holds up today/ I keep it alive in my own ac-less suv) • beanie babies and being called out if you had fakes • listening to radio Disney on my boom box before bed •riding my bike aimlessly when I had nothing else to do •walking to the gas station with my $5 allowance and buying Sobe, now n later, tgi Friday potato skins, and cherry vanilla coke •I also got in trouble a lot for wandering off or smoking rolled up sticky notes or vandalizing storage units with ā€œbrat girlā€ or something so y2k •I remember my outfits so well…. Many cheeky graphic tees, ringer tees, layered tanks, peasant skirts, stripes, capris, platform sneakers, chokers •redesigning my MySpace every weekend •changing my aim screen name with the seasons •being bullied by boys in middle school, over aim or getting prank called •when I got a cell phone I never remember charging it, but I do remember trying to break my Nokia brick because I wanted a razr or a chocolate, but it was truly indestructible •listening to mix cds in friends cars as they began to drive because nobody had an aux cord or Bluetooth •2008-2010 we’re really dark so I’ll spare you more details

• Shrek
• Watching Pimp My Ride and Scarred on MTV and seeing actual music videos
• My older sister’s Girl Scout troop performing a dance to a backstreet boys song at the mall
• Going to warped tour
• Cutting up my older sister’s old Seventeen magazines to make collages
• The premiere of iCarly
• Having a family computer where you’d get on the internet and then get off and not think about it the rest of the day
• Waiting on each Harry Potter book to be written, and waiting on each movie to be made
• JLO’s butt was considered gigantic for some reason
• Bush administration
• Burning cds and decorating them with sharpies
• Seeing Panic! At The Disco in concert during their peak
• Spending bunch of time playing outside
• The world seemed less noisy and more optimistic back then. People just lived instead of performing life for social media.

things were easier (because i was a kid) but it seemed so simple. where are all the frozen yogurt restaurants? why don’t people have cds anymore? bring back limewire and online chat blogs and weird websites and silly graphic t-shirts and chunky sneakers and twee and hipster styles. i miss collegehumor and buzzfeed. but i bring the nostalgia for myself back every day by dressing like i stepped out of a rhett and link music video and listening to modest mouse and metric and the yeah yeah yeahs. i love my digital camera and my dvds and volunteering at my university radio station.

I got my nails done and I realized the star on the index finger makes the nails PI themed. Semi unconscious yet a soft-smile realization while the nail tech was painting the star on.

Bring back being genuine about your suffering on the internet. was that ever really a thing? is tumblr just a social anecdote to a form of media we thought / wished we had?
*^ little miss avoidant. or maybe indirect? dw folks it was amicable! he has a heart of gold! which makes me even more miserable…
