Like, totally gag me with a spoon, man.

this is me @ 12 years old. pretty cool with the "hippy" revival wear. overalls, peace signs, yin yangs, happy faces, Lennon glasses, etc. ahhh... the 90's. A lot of people kind of make fun of us kids who grew up in the 90's. But I say--it was cool. we got the best of the previous decades' pop culture plus our own lame stuff-- commercials including raps about environmental and criminal issues; cartoon series' entirely based on product placement; crazy pizza-shooting toys; neon wear galore; and the list goes ever on!

we also got to experience the 1990-1995 awesome years in music--and the not so great late nineties. come on--pearl jam, nirvana, green day, weezer, pj harvey, and on and on. when i was in grade 6, the coolest guy in my grade came to school with tiny braids in his hair, dyed red with kool-aid and a HUGE Nirvana shirt (the Kurt R.I.P. one) that reached his shins--how dreamy! ha. My mom wouldn't allow my dad to buy "Unplugged in New York" for me...so my friend taped it for me on a tape labeled- "Radio Hits '94"...haha. My all-time favourite Nirvana song at the time was definitely "Where did you sleep last night."



"I will SHIVER the whole night through!" brilliant.

I recall sitting in my room, listening to the album on repeat, feeling all deep and dark. haha--this is probably where my love for boys with "bleach blonde hair, crystal blue eyes" came from. any girl who knew me back then will attest to the fact that I was obsessed with boys. that lasted for a looong time. haha. still am, in fact. kind of--i mean, in the all grown up, married way. i still get a little obsessed with boys who sing. like the following boy, who i am just a little infatuated with--haha--as in, sometimes i dream about him (like literally, not day dream)--pretty sad, i know. but we all do it. i did last night, in fact. sigh.



Oh, that Ryan Adams--this is not to say that I don't absolutely love my husband and find him equally charming--because I do.

this is where I'm going to end this. it just makes sense to end it here.
