blinkies, blingees, glitter graphics, dollzmania, elouai candybar, emo boys seven minutes in heaven, curating wetseal outfits on polyvore, discovering new music through autoplay on people's myspace profiles, dressing up the diva starz for prom and decorating the myscene girls' rooms and playing mash on bratz.com, being an anon on fbr_trash, my myspace page with a hot pink leopard print background where i declared kiki kannibal as one of my heroes, spreading chain letters on stardoll and the neoboards...

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

š¶some of my core memories:
- playing on webkinz or bearville with my cousin every night
- making random things out of duct tape (the wallets, the bows, omg) (definitely more late 2000s but still)
- the vibrant and fun patterns on everything (i loveeeeed lisa frank)
- being outside a lot more
- when I got a slide phone and I accidentally pressed the internet button and I had to viciously go back to the home screen or it would add a charge to the bill and my parents would get mad
- land lines, we still have ours, but I'm seeing less and less people have them now
- primarily listening to CD's (and not understanding pirating so I was amazed that my aunt could get me beatles CD's for free lol)
- having the computer in a different room and not being on it all the time besides when Id play games or watch cat video compilations on youtube
- speaking of games, the spongebob computer games were fire
- also speaking of games, playing my dad's ps1 (when we play them now we're like, how could we even play these?? the quality is so bad compared to what we're used to now lmao)
- then there were the unfortunate parts of it like the only jeans that you could find were low-mid rise, which Im pretty sure is why I hate them to this day š love that other people love them again but I can barely do mid rise lol
- also 2000's clothing sizing was INSANE, even for children, I don't miss that at all
- but at least I was alive and conscious for when High School Musical was released
- also the shows were so good (at the time anyway, looking at certain nickelodeon shows as an adult gives me the ick) (you know the ones)
- also you got peak spongebob
