Remember when..

Before I start this post, I want to share my excitement with you guys. Because you totally care. But you should. Why, you ask? I am meeting Lauren from Lights in the Sky. FINGERS CROSSED. I am so excited, we've been emailing back and forth about my roadtrip to DC with B and then she was like ohhh hey I don't live far away. Hello blogger meet-up! / Potential double date with our boyfriends who think were probably going to get cat-fished. Ohhhh boys. GET READY FOR PICTURES. Kidding, you have like three weeks to prepare yourself. 

With my recent computer struggs (see: twitter), I have been annoyed fed up with electronics. Like don't you just remember the days when Skip-its and polly pockets were the ish? Or what about instant messenger with dial up? Or even the sims? I mean I now have the patience for ANY of them but it's fun to reminisce on products that people really don't use anymore but when they think about it they're like woaaaaaaah memories, for lack of a better expression. 

1. Blackberrys/BBM. BBM was probably cooler than imessaging is. Sorry not sorry. Only if you had a blackberry could you make it onto my list of 'peeps'. Peeps right? Yeah I probably said that on the regular, too. Also you could update your status and picture, which mine was defffffffiniatley updated always. #SelfiePrincess over here. Except I remember for a fact this picture was my icon for a while.

Yep. Went to sleep-away camp. Also had braces. Hawwwwt. 

2.Away Messages. YES YES YES. I totally used to make people's away messages/buddy profiles because I guess I've always liked to design things? (See: #3) I made sure my away messages always lined up with some bolds, italics, etc. Want a good laugh and to relive your away message days? Check out Your away message.

3. Myspace. You had to have one. You weren't cool if you didn't. Really. I mean I even did, and best part was I wasn't allowed to have one. I also designed myspace layouts on another account other than my personal. We all filled out those dreadful to look back on surveys answering questions like, "who was the last person you kissed? Would you kiss them again?", "What color are your eyes?", and "If you were stranded on an island what three things would you bring with you?" Obviously my bestie, my Beyonce Crazy in Love CD, and my cellie*TXT IT.  Yeah, this just needs to end. The Myspace era was a bad time for me. #Childhood

4. Jelly Wallets. If you have one now....shout out to you because I am judging you. I got one in the fourth grade from my boyfriend at the time. We're still decent friends. I also used to tell him I was planning our family out on the sims. Wow, Psycho girlfriend starting at a young age. Am I right???

This is us at my sweet 16. We were immitating the emojis we used when ending our AIM convos. 

5. Not even just rolly-backpacks. BUT CLEAR ONES. I had one in the second grade, and it was reeeeeally awesome. However, looking back, if I used that now I'd be embarrassed like between lady products/money/and everything else I do not want to get stolen, I guess that is why the clear-bag-trend has faded away.

Speaking of throwin' it back, here's a great picture of me thinking I could potentially end up on tumblr as one of those hipsters. Or something. CYA!
