    I actually did the pen pal thing from the Bop Magazine. We wrote each other for years and then lost touch. Her name was Amanda from Hell Michigan. I don't remember her last name though. She even sent me her school picture and I still have it.

    I've decided I like the stories we tell- I picture it in my head-such good story tellers on here. Any embarassing 90s moments? Like the Polly pocket thing at recess was funny, relivng school crap lunches & making oneself hungry was funny...

    You guys are awesome! Any stories you share are wonderful & entertaining!

    I remember all the sleep overs with friends. Ordering pizza, watching VHS movies. Staying up late. Making prank phone calls to teachers and other kids who were aholes. Sometimes we'd 'sneak out' and go walking around the neighborhood in the dark (whoa, rebels!) Then we all out grew that fun.

    Sleep overs became stealing booze from our parents and getting tipsy in whatever friends bedroom, stumbling outside to walk around the neighborhood in the dark. Making prank phone calls to our boyfriend's or other guys we liked.

    Then sleep overs became stealing booze from our parents, getting tipsy in whatever friends bedroom...smoking some pot ... Stumbling outside to walk around the neighborhood in the dark spazzing out over a dog barking, being paranoid that someone was following us. Probably not prank calling anyone because we were to f'ed up to dial a phone. lol


    Ahhhh, memories. Yeah, I did a lot of dumb sh.t in my younger days.

    One of my favourite memories is of my sister (I love her to bits and pieces and she needs to visit or I need to visit!).

    There was a guy in her class who used to get a lift home with us, as well as his sister, we called them Brat and Bratina. One afternoon we were waiting for my mom and Brat wouldn't stop pinching me and I was getting really upset. My sister came out of school and saw him pinching me. She walked up to him, grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm behind his back and told him "Don't you ever touch my sister again"! Needless to say, he started crying. Haha! I love my spuddy!! She is the most awesome person in the whole world!!

    I remember having a "notes" notebook with my BFF in the earlier years of high school. My other friends and I would do the cute folds of notes. When "pager code" was the way to communicate without calling someone back, we would write our notes in pager code so if the notebook ever got lost, the teachers would be clueless.

    I remember when girls wearing basketball jerseys was the fashion. The first day of my freshman year of high school I wore a Scotty Pippen jersey. Or wearing Doc Martens with tight mini skirts/dresses.

    I went to high school in Virginia Beach. This was before they made those stupid laws that make life of locals miserable to cater to tourists. Cruisin the strip was THE thing to do in the early evenings on Friday. Then go to the Abyss if you were 18.

    I remember when Kris Kross came out and everyone started wearing their clothes backwards. Does anyone remember the pacifier phase? WTH was THAT about!!!! Oh the sleep overs were so much fun. One of my friends had the game Girl Talk and we would play that at EVERY sleep over. Mad Dog 20/20 was the drink of choice for so many in my high school.

    My favorite lunch day at school was when it was vegetable beef soup with grilled cheese sandwich. They had the best grilled cheese sandwiches.

    @browneyedgirl749 I always wanted to do that in VB but grew up in Newport News and we were not allowed to travel to that side of the water. So, no cruisin the strip for me.

    The 90's and all the guys either thought they were great rappers or skaters and the pants tightly belted just under their butt. I still see some people to do that today and I'm like "Really? Still?"

    Also probably middle school, Road Kill t-shirts, Bare Naked t-shirts.

    Ah yes, Kris Kross... I remember when they came out. I was in junior high school. I remember the pacifiers too. I remember playing spin the bottle on my 16th birthday. LOL! Mad Dog 20/20 and Boones Farm... LOL!

    When I was in high school, we lived in VB but was on the border of Chesapeake and Norfolk. I wasn't allowed to go to the part of the neighborhood that was in either city. Once my brother and I got our licenses, we still couldn't leave VB unless it was with our parents.

    We used to walk around the neighborhood after school (Freshman & Sophomore year mostly) to see who was home, and what we could get into. Remember no cell phones, and pagers weren't real popular yet, because they were expensive.

    One time this girl and I said that we were going to the Homecoming Dance, got dressed up did our hair and everything. We ended up going out with our boyfriends instead. Had a change of clothes in her parent's car. I still have the pictures of us dressed for homecoming. Not one of my prouder moments...

    My friend and I would tell our parents we were 'babysitting' but then we'd actually go to parties.

    32 from NW FL here, this thread has brought up all kinds of memories.

    Any Nick kids remember Stick Stickly? I still have the dang address song memorized!

    I grew up in the FL Keys and we had these windows that were layered 3inch wide glass slats that we could slide out and in pretty easy so sneaking out was a regular thing....Then I moved into this house where the 3rd "bedroom" was actually an efficiency off the back of the house with its own keyed entrance so I didn't have to sneak out windows anymore, lol!

    So it's the work christmas party tonight and it's a 90's night. I'll feel like a late teen again! Thankfully it's not fancy dress, I don't feel like the town is ready for late 30's people dressed like the spice girls.

    Fun story about emulating Kris Kross: My school thought the backwards clothes were a gang thing.
