writteninstars
1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE".
Nope, must've missed that one. I remember other people doing it, though.
2. You watched the Pound Puppies.
Yes, but the show wasn't that great. However, my very favorite stuffed animal, Barky, who still sits atop the bookshelf in my bedroom, is a Pound Puppy.
3. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Belair"
Nah, my parents never allowed me to watch stuff like that. And I wasn't interested.
4. You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylish.
I didn't feel stylish, but I'm pretty sure I did it.
5. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tried to start a club of your own.
I read all the books. I wanted to be like Boy-Crazy Stacy. (That was her name, right?) And Claudia the artist was cool. Never liked Kristy the tom-boy, which was weird 'cause I was something of a tom-boy.
6. You owned those lil Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls
I don't think I had dolls, but I had scented stickers.
7. You know that "WHOA" comes from Joey on Blossom.
Yeah, although I didn't watch "Blossom." But I thought Joey Lawrence was cute, and I drew a portrait of him when I was 10 or 11. (I still have it somewhere; it turned out pretty well.)
8. Two words: M.C. Hammer
HATED him.
9. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock".
I somehow missed this. :(
10. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars.
Yup. Multicolored.
11. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales"
"Life is like a hurricane, here in Duckburg ..."
I also kick ass at the Nintendo game.
12. When it was actually worth getting up early on a Saturday to watch cartoons
Of course. (Looking back, I can't believe I ever got up early on a Saturday for anything).
13. You wore a pony tail on the side of your head
Yup. I'm wearing one in my 2nd grade school picture. One of my only school photos that ever turned out decently.
14. You saw the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the big screen
Yes, and I had to beg and beg for my parents to let me see it. I adored TMNT. I had the novelization, a poster, a tie-in comic book, and tons of action figures as well. I still own the videotape of that movie.
15. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school
I hated that game. It was tedious.
16. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side.
I don't think I made her buy me one, but I definitely had one around third/fourth grade.
17. You played the game "MASH" (Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House) with friends at school
I remember people doing this on the bus during field trips.
18. You wore Jordache jean jacket and you were proud of it
I was completely oblivious to brands (still am). Loved my jean jacket, though, whatever brand it was.
19. L.A. Gear
See above.
20. You wanted to change your name to "JEM" in Kindergarten.
Jem was cool. Never my favorite thing, though.
21. You remember reading "Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing" and all the Ramona books.
Yup, read them all.
22. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF"
Good ole Karate Kid. Still have the movie on a BETA tape.
23. You wanted to be a Goonie
I missed that too! Damn parents never letting me see movies.
24. If you ever wore fluorescent clothing.
Hot pink.
25. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off
I loved Michael Jackson when I was a little kid, ever since I saw him in some Disney 3D thing. I even had a Michael Jackson tee-shirt, which unfortunately got ruined when my brother, our neighbors, our cousin, and I decided to take a literal mud bath (and to wash our clothes and hair in the mud as well).
26. If you have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf.
Can't say it ever occured to me to wonder.
27. You took Lunch Pales to school
Don't remember.
28. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets
Yes. I was addicted to snapping the damn thing. One of the very few times I ever got in trouble in grade school was after they were banned, and I snapped mine completely unconsciously during class.
29. You remember Robotech
Nope.
30. You remember Hypercolor t-shirts.
Nope. What are hypercolor t-shirts?
31. Barbie and the Rockers was your favourite band.
I never really liked Barbie.
32. You thought She-ra and He-Man should hook up.
I doubt I cared if they hooked up. Plus, He-Man was for boys. (Ew! Boys! Cooties!)
33. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged friendship bracelets.
Yeah, I really did.
34. If you ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes
GLITTER jelly-shoes. :)
35. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know you are, but what am I?"
I remember other people doing it. Incredibly irritating.
36. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up"
I remember other people saying it, but I don't know what it's from.
37. You remember going to the skating rink before there were in-line skates
Oh hell yeah. Much fun. I never did learn how to balance on in-line skates; good old fashioned roller skates for me.
38. If you ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide.
Those things kicked so much ass! OMG! Now I want one.
39. If you have ever played with a Skip-It.
Not sure what that is.
40. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonalds.
Many.
41. You've gone through this list occasionally saying "This wasn't from the 80's"
Nope.
42. You remember Popples.
Nope.
43. "Don't worry, be happy".
Yes. And I remember listening to it at the roller rink.
44. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks.
Don't think I ever wore tights. Too girly.
45. You wore socks scrunched down.
Of course.
46. "Miss MARY MACK MACK MACK, all dressed in BLACK BLACK BLACK"
She asks her MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER ... or, uh, something like that? See, I didn't really have friends in grade school, so I just watched *other* people do this stuff.
47. You remember boom boxes vs cd players.
You mean it's not still called a boom box?

Both. Loved My Little Pony. Had a bunch of them; I've still got a big one somewhere at my parents' house.
51. You thought Doogie Howser was hot.
No, but I was really jealous that he went through school so quickly.
52. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. From before the 1-800-COLLECT commercials.
Yeah, of course. Everyone remembers Alf, right?
53. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool.
Yes, I hated and despised them so much that I refused to allow anyone wearing NKOTB memorabilia to enter my house. I made one exception, which was for my friend Kari, because she had a NKoTB night shirt, and she didn't actually like them all that much.
54. You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By the Bell", the ORIGINAL class
Of course. Zack and Slater and Screech and ... uh... that chick from "Showgirls"...
55. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THRU THE HEART.
What? No. Rock music comes from the devil. I'd never lower myself to listen to that stuff. ;)
56. You remember the Thundercats and transformers.
Yes. I loved Thundercats so much. I still have the action figures somewhere, and a stickerbook, and I was Lion-O for Halloween one year.

Date: 2003-06-03 12:22 pm (UTC)They changed color when the fabric heated up. Which usually meant that if you wore one, people would randomly grab a handful of material in their fist to see if it would change. Rather annoying, and they didn't always work too well.
