My “My So-Called Life” marathon has ended and left me extremely nostalgic. I miss Angela Chase. And the way Jordan Catalano leans against his locker. I miss the 90s, and being a teen in the 90s. I was
so Los Angeles grudge. I rocked the midriff-T, flannel plaid shirt, brown corduroy pants and shit-kicking boots. Yeah, I rocked ‘em better than any 2009 Midwestern lesbian you’d see rooming the country roads of Paint Lick, Wyoming. Trust me, me and my metallic red Ford Thunderbird were bitchin’.
Last night I pulled out one of my many memory boxes (I’m extremely sentimental), and I mentally revisited a high school crush. We were cute, but my lesbian “curiosity” broke us up before we really began. Don’t feel too bad for the dude—weeks later he hooked up with my close friend. Oh and we became "adult friends" later in life. Take a look at one of my (our) first AOL IM conversations:
Him: I already wrote about you in a homework assignment
Me: what did u say? good things I hope?
Him: it was an autobiography
Me: what part did I play
Him: basically it said that in the summer of 97, I met the most perfect girl ever
Me: and I the perfect guy
Him: oh shucks
Me: hey r u doing anything on thurs? school is having a pre game BBQ
Him: i am free to do cartwheels on thrusday if you’d like
Me: okay, I still need to ask grandma
Him: are you talking to anyone else?
Me: sarah was on but just got off now.
Me: u
Him: nope, devoted to you
Me: how sweet
Him: so, what do you think?
Me: think about what?
Him: us
Him: well…
Him: any thoughts or comments?
Me: I think jello is evil [Read: Oh, F*ck! He wants to “talk.”]
Him: that’s not what I meant, but it was funny
Me: what do u think plain jello tastes like?
Me: with no added flavor? [Read: F*ck! Must avoid the “talk.”]
Him: jellie
Me: oh, jellie [Read: F*ck! F*ck!]
Him: what do you think about us?
Me: i think us is a good idea [Read: Well, he is on Surf Team, and Captain of the pole-vaulting team.]
Him: well I don’t
Me: u r evil like jello
Him: i think us is a
great idea
Me: what do u think
us is? [Read: But we don’t have to be boyfriend/girlfriend, right?]
Him: wonderful
