    I remember walking to a boyfriends house with my friends in my pjs (it was a pj party) without fear of being assaulted or kidnapped or any of the things I now fear

    I would just be outside, and my mom wouldn't necessarily know where I was.

    Yeah!

    And travelling suppers. A whole group of us would walk through the streets at night going from house to house for the different courses. Singing at the top of our lungs and setting off all the dogs in a two block radius! Good times

    I never did that, although it sounds pretty awesome.

    We used AOL chat rooms? “A/S/L” :D:D

    We used to run home to catch TRL and 106 and park.

    We used to look forward to Friday’s for the TGIF prime time shows.

    Yeah! And we (that is to say, I) had to go to an Internet Cafe for said chat rooms because my parents wouldn't let me use their dial up modem for anything except email!

    I watch very little TV now, except old shows on Netflix. Ahh, nostalgia!

    I thought it was great when we got a VCR I could set to record later. Cassette single of DJ Jazzy Jeff of Boom Shake the Room!

    I remember having £10 in my pocket, managing to go out, get drunk, get in a club and still have enough left to get me some of the way home in a taxi - watching the meter and yelling "stop!!" before it got too much. Can't do that any more <old>
