I was sitting here, staring blankly out the window here at Lakewood (as I quite frequently do), and I began to compile a mental list of things that I miss from the '90s. The '90s were a good time, albeit a few missteps (grunge, home perms, scrunchies, etectera), and I do miss them at times. Anyone who lived their glory days in the 90s will agree. Heartily, I'm sure.
Things I Enjoyed (And Didn't) And Miss From The '90s:
The Fresh Prince of Bel Air
Marky Mark (without him, there would be no Mark Wahlberg)
Full House
Janet Jackson
Family Matters
Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Clarissa Explains It All
New Kids on the Block
Gak
Ren and Stimpy
TRL (for those of you who may not know what that is, Total Request Live)
Baywatch
TLC (the group, not the channel)
Tupac
Puff Daddy
Vanilla Ice (integral to the '90s)
Pogs
Beanie Babies
Tamogotchis
Doug
Boyz II Men
Beavis and Butthead
Married With Children
Those bracelets you slapped on your wrists
Those Nike shoes you had to pump up (what the hell were those called? I remember wanting a pair and my mom saying no.)
The New Mickey Mouse Club (Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Keri Russell...)
The WB
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Fidelity
Animaniacs
Freakazoid
Pinky and the Brain
Austin Powers
Spice Girls
Xena, Warrior Princess
If you're suddenly filled with memories of the '90s, please feel free to share.
Thanks so much for the comment!

Really?!?!!? You didnt like scrunchies!?!?! OH, that kinda hurt my SOUL!!! SO I have a slightly embarrassing story about scrunchies... I was on my ship in 2005 and I asked a girl who lived with me if I could borrow a scrunchie, and she looked at me in disbelief and said "noone wears thoes anymore..." too my horror it was true. I guess I was in denial!!
ReplyDeleteBring back the scrunchie!! Bring back the scrunchie!! {chanting}
