I Miss the 90s

I'm sure most of you have already seen this, but I thought I'd repost it with some of my faves. Here's the original post: 40 Things That Will Make You Feel Old.

CHUCKIE IS OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK. CHUCKIE!

aaliyah has been dead for 10 years
aaliyah's death has always been a 'where were you when...' moment for me. ironically, i was at the airport seeing my aunt off to go back to la. note to self: never overseat a charter plane.

hasn't been on american tv in 9 years.
no but seriously, this isn't on tv anymore? my go to phrase whilst watching this program
"BANK, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"

Goosebumps books were released between 1992 and 1997. there hasn't been a new one in 14 years.

The Last Five Years

Five years ago, I came back from the most important, life changing, and just plain FUN experience of my life.

I challenge you to find anyone who was once a castle dweller to not say the same thing. For those who don't know, I was lucky enough to spend three months living and learning in a medieval castle in the Netherlands, and bonus: I got to travel Europe on the weekends. Suffice it to say, it was the best few months of my life. Here are a few memories from my time in kasteel well...

first day jitters. staying up for 24 hours. team emerson. huberrrr. coochies. missing friends. making friends. belgian wafels. stroopwafels. meermarkt. strippenkart. hagelslag. frites with mayonaise. the horrible coffee vending machine in the VB {that we had anyways}. birthday dvds played on repeat. scouring the internet for the latest gilmore girls episode. walk for weed. ipod jacking. spice girls song of the day. changing the guard - abba style. best sunset ever in nice. carnival. the olympics! death cab for cutie and john vanderslice in barcelona. ordering a cheese plate for dinner. sangria and chocolate on the beach. czechziety. dusseldorf train station. nippon. sound of music tour. disco bathroom. family dinner at happy hostel. captain planet. do you know the dunleavys? st. patrick's day in doolin. st. patrick's day in galway. emerson hofbrauhaus takeover. greece face. pee stick. pee bed. wanting to leave. not wanting to leave. muffins for life.

I can't believe it's been five years since we've returned home from our 'second life' in Europe. I can honestly say that I would not be where I am today, emotionally and physically, if I hadn't gone to the castle. Dank u wel to everyone that was a part of my kasteel life then, and my american kasteel life now. My life is forever changed because of it.

Old School Jamz

Hey, remember Montell Jordan? Of course you do, but I'm not here to remind you of "This is How We Do It". I re-discovered this jam and forgot how good it was. But you know when you're young and you just sing along to the lyrics without thinking about what it means (see: "Too Close" by Next)? Yeah, that happened with me and this song. "I've got a girl, but you look good tonight"?! Oh Montell. I can't say this might have be the reason of your decent into the two hit wonder universe. But I am.

I Saw It In A Nickelodeon Once, and I Always Wanted To Do It

In 6th grade, I was one of those 12 year olds who was completely obsessed with Titanic and Leonardo DiCaprio. Like I have the Titanic script and used to follow along with it whilst watching the 3 hour and 17 minute film. True story. So it makes me happy when I see things like this in 2010. Enjoy.





Jack & Rose thank you for your time.
