Woke up early to come to school and it turns out I didn't have to even meet with my partner until 2 pm...grrrrr. Could have had THREE more precious hours of sleep. But anyway, the video's done, I got an A on my terrible horrible art review paper, which shocked me beyond belief, and I'm about ready to collapse. I know it's not even 6 yet - lol.

I couldn't resist this survey. I think it's a survey. From thekiwi.

YOU KNOW YOU GREW UP IN THE 80's IF... 1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "PSYCHE". I've done that. 2. You watched the Pound Puppies. I loved the Pound Puppies. Especially Cooler. If pressured, I can still sing the theme song. Shush. 3. You can sing the rap to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" Yup, can do that too, and I didn't even watch the show that much. 4. You wore biker shorts under your skirts and felt stylish. I had a friend that did that. I never did. But I did wear biker shorts. 5. You yearned to be a member of the Baby-sitters club and tired to start a club of your own. I was never into baby-sitting too much, but I *so* wanted to be a member of that club. They were the best of friends and had great adventures. Sorta. 6. You owned those lil Strawberry Shortcake pals scented dolls. Hmmm...I think I was a little old for that. 7. You know that "WOA" comes from Joey on Blossom. Yup, knew that, used to watch Blossom a lot. 8. Two words: M.C. Hammer Two Legit. Two Legit to Quit. When I was MUCH younger, I and a friend wrote a really horrible rap to send to him. 9. If you ever watched "Fraggle Rock". I had a stuffed Fraggle, it was the bookish one, can't remember her name. I loved the dog, was his name Sprocket? Such a great kid's show. 10. You had plastic streamers on your handle bars. Yup, had those. 11. You can sing the entire theme song to "Duck Tales". Yes, yes I can. I remember the Disney Afternoon well. 13. You wore a pony tail on the side of your head. My hair was too short for a pony tail. I remember having to put my hair up for ballet and it so didn't want to go into a bun. 14. You saw the original "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on the big screen. I didn't, but I wanted to -- I was so into them when I was younger. 15. You got super-excited when it was Oregon Trail day in computer class at school. We played Haunted Mansion. It was like, you had to answer math problems to survive! And PAWS. 16. You made your mom buy one of those clips that would hold your shirt in a knot on the side. I went through that VERY short phase, yes. 17. You played the game "MASH" (Mansion, Apartment, Shelter, House) with friends at school. All the time! That was such a fun game. 18. You wore Jordache jean jacket and you were proud of it. Yup, and Guess. 19. L.A. Gear..... SO had those, thought they were so cool. 20. You wanted to change your name to "JEM" in Kindergarten. A little older than Kindergarten, but yes. I was JEM one year for Halloween, sprayed my hair pink and everything. Grandma made me a costume. 21. You remember reading "Tales of a fourth grade nothing" and all the Ramona books. Yes. I loved that book series. So related. 22. You know the profound meaning of "WAX ON, WAX OFF" Heh. Yup. 23. You wanted to be a Goonie. I was scared of that movie when I was younger actually. 24. You ever wore, fluorescent, if you will, clothing. Oh God yes. *shudder* -- very frightening to see old pictures. 25. You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose fell off... I do! LOL 26. You have ever pondered why Smurfette was the only female smurf. I did, but then I read a story about an orgy that explained it all. 27. You took Lunch Pales to school. I have no idea what that is. 28. You remember the CRAZE, then the BANNING of slap bracelets. Oh dear, I remember that...the snapping of the slap against your wrist, and then people started hitting people with them...just not good. I remember they were yellow during desert storm, too. 29. You still get the urge to say "NOT" after every sentence. Heheh, yes. 30. You remember Hypercolor t-shirts. I remember thinking that was the coolest thing ever. I touch my shirt and it changes color! Wow! 31. Barbie and the Rockers was your favorite band. I preferred JEM and the Holograms. 32. You thought Sheena and He-Man should hook up. I think I might have, it's been a long time. 33. You thought your childhood friends would never leave because you exchanged friendship bracelets. I vaguely rememeber that... 34. You ever owned a pair of Jelly-Shoes. Yes! You could go into the pool with them, which was so cool! But they also weighed you down greatly. 35. After you saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure you kept saying "I know what you are, but what am I?" Hmmm...I think that just got into the popular phrass. But yes, I totally said that. 36. You remember "I've fallen and I can't get up" That poor old woman, but yes...and then somehow, it was EVERYWHERE. Like Where's the Beef. 37. You remember going to the skating rink before there were in-line skates. I loved skating rinks, but I totally would never leave the wall/inside. Plus, I had a problem with lifting my left leg on skates, right leg was fine, left leg...just kinda liked the ground. 38. You ever got seriously injured on a Slip and Slide. I played on one once. I couldn't get the hang of it, people kept going "slide!" and I kept using my knees. We were easily amused back then. 39. You have ever played with a Skip-It. Yes, I actually almost got my leg caught in one. I decided I had to try it when I was a tiny bit too old for one. 40. You had or attended a birthday party at McDonalds. They had cake with white frosting! And you got to take a tour of the back. I remember burning my tongue on hot chocolate at my party there -- hey some things don't change, lol. But yes, having a party at McDonalds was all the rage. 41. You've gone through this list occasionally saying "This wasn't from the 80's!" Hm, yup. 42. You remember Popples. I should remember them, but I don't. 43. "Don't worry, be happy" Hee. *dances* 44. You wore like, EIGHT pairs of socks over tights with high top Reeboks. I never got into that look. But I totally had the high top Reeboks. 45. You wore socks scrunched down. Yup, of course. 46. "Miss MARY MARY MACK, all dressed in BLACK BLACK BLACK" With silver buttons buttons buttons...that was a game that took real skill. 47. You remember boom boxes vs. cd players. Remember that, remember before that actually. 48. You remember watching both "Gremlins" movies. I couldn't watch the first one. But loved the second one, so funny. 49. You know what it meant to say "Care Bear Stare!!" So cute :) 50. You remember watching Rainbow Bright and My Little Pony Tales" I had My Little Pony. 51. You thought Doogie Howser was hot. He was! I had such a crush! 52. You remember Alf, the lil furry brown alien from Melmac. I loved Alf. He was so cool. 53. You remember New Kids on the Block when they were cool. They had the right stuff baby. Yes, and we all had the magazines at lunch too. 54. You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By the Bell", the ORIGINAL class. I will only admit to this under torture. 55. You know all the words to Bon Jovi - SHOT THRU THE HEART. And you're too late! I always thought it said you give love a band aid.

Whee that was fun!
