I remember

[Rye]

I remember having a crush on Clarissa and having her Explain It All to me every chance I got.

I loved that show.

I remember Goosebumps on TV when I was so young and it TERRIFIED ME. It was soooo retro-cool when they started playing it again on TV during October.

I remember how stupid I thought Pokemon were and when I wouldn't watch any non-animated TV show.

Also, I remember when animated TV shows used to be good, like the Flintstones or Loony Tunes

My mom bought a small bit of the Berlin wall.

I remember wearing two different colored socks with my LA Gears, and then folding them down so that you could see both colors. Neon colors, of course.

I remember watching power rangers first thing in the morning... at day care... And I drew fanart of Kimberly, but I kinda failed at her figure, but!

and I remember when barney stopped being cool and was suddenly lame

wishbone

8:30 bedtime,

swinging on the swings and belting out to the stereo playing I Swear, and being told by my sister that there were two different versions, one by a man and one by a woman though she didn't know either of their names.

My sister playing a tape for me, some crazy rap that I started singing. I wonder what that was now...

My sister explaining that girls could have boy names if they spelled it with an i instead of a y for Nicki, Ricki, etc.

I remember everyone being nuts about pokemon, and the cards getting banned from school, but I didn't get the WB so all I could watch was digimon. But my sister was a manager at BK at the time and got me the pikachu kid's meal toy.

I remember on thursdays my dad would pick me up from day care, we'd get dinner at Wendy's across the street, maybe get an ice cream with bright colored sprinkles, and then we would go to the library for a glorious hour or two because they were open late on thursdays...

[Meat Puppet]

I watched the second episode of Dino-Riders until my nose bled.
Making a lion’s head out of leftover pastry, only to come back to find it covered in ants.
VHS tapes looked as if they were modeled after Number 5, although it would be well over a decade before I knew that was its name.
The moon-headed man from McDonald’s, and prunes that played jazz.
Jason Gunn and Thingee.
