    I remember buying a CD and feeling disappointed cause they didn't have the lyrics in the leaflet.. So I had to play the bloody song again and again to learn them

    I remember blown up furniture that I convinced myself I needed and that it was super comfy though they weren't

    I remember butterfly clips I used to wear in my hair.. The black tark pants every girl in Iceland had to own and finally, the Disel jeans we matched with our super cool Buffalo shoes.

    I remember making freestyle dances to almost all of the songs The Spice Girls released and putting on a show in my school.

    I remember writing silly notes to my friends in class and passing them on.. And all the games we made up cause we were bored..

    Oh I need to ring some of my old friends right now and get drunk with them.. Now I'm feeling Nostalgic lol

    Scratching a vinyl record and listening to it skip and repeat over and over again. That sucked when it was a song you liked.
    Tightening cassette tapes with a pencil or pen when they unwound.

    The memories I hang on to the most are all related to doing fun things with my family. They stick with me.

    Making those same type of memories with my own kids is one of the reasons why I committed to get and stay healthy. I want to be able to do as much fun memory making with my own wife and kids for as long as I can!

    Had to be home when the street lights came on, but I had a TV in my room only because my dad got one from a Holiday Inn that was selling all their old black & white TV's for new color ones. lol

    That fancy 3 button remote we had to our color tv never turned the tv off right.. you had to press the button on the tv and then the remote, or some crazy sequence I could never remember. I used to get in trouble for messing with the buttons on the tv and remote, cause I wasn't supposed to be watching it without them present..
