Nostalgia

Things I will remember when I'm older. You might not know some of these things if you don't live in Canada... and it's really random.

Bruce Lee, ferbies, the obsession with the colour blue, an enormous amount of legos. Britney Spears, the free hugs campaing, that lady who tried to ban Harry Potter. Harry Potter. Skipping ropes and the Heart and Stroke Foundation afternoons. Eating snow, playing by the nim bins, wondering about the stars. Eating ice scream, swimming at the beach, pink swimsuits, popsicle sticks and running through sprinklers. The Spice Girls and that movie they made. Obsessing over macs and hating iPods. Chuck Klosterman and Lucy Chance. Mel Gibson being normal, Mel Gibson going insane. Nightmare Before Christmas and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Berty Bott's Every Flavored Beans. Playing piano, listening to bubblegum pop music. Bubblegum pop music being popular. Leopard print umbrella's and equally ugly leopard print shoes. Huge glasses. Even bigger sunglasses. YouTube becoming popular. The big blackout. Hot summers, steaming roads and dead grass. The Y2K bug and stocking up on batteries & bread. Mememolly, Tonystockert, LisaNova, Smosh and other internet celebrities. Real celebrities - ones that live in mansions. Posting blogs on rainy nights and on hot afternoons. Decorating the Christmas tree with silver tinsel and making faces in the glass bulbs. Hiding all the coloring markers under the couch. Biking through muddy puddles in the woods and then getting lost. Pretending to play Survivor in the bush behind the neighborhood, loosing Survivor. Pogs, Pokemon Cards, Digimon, Bayblades, slinkies, Milo, PlayStation, N64 and playing James Bond. learning Korean, importing my mp3 player from Korea and Eunsu. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal and an obsession with London and Sydney. Daydreaming about building big tree houses, attempting to build it. 10th birthday, the Science Centre, gel pens, Cool-Aid. Marissa from the O.C. The words 'dude', 'chillout', 'relax' and 'go die'. Finding out about MSN. Slow internet connections, painting, writing stories, loving English class. Mr. Rossi and his evil ways. Getting 107% on a Math test, getting 47% in P.E. Listening to indie music and finding out about Architecture In Helsinki. Caitlin Hill, Lonelygirl15 and that guy that danced all around the world. Radio Free Roscoe, Life With Derek and Zoey 101. Trying Marmite and throwing up. Hiding in basements and scaring people, playing 'killer'. Pretending to have a mobile phone. Talking in class, first detention, insane principles, vollyball and not wanted to play soccer. Sega and learning the words 'troglodyte', 'misogynistic' and 'nihilism'. Loving popular culture, constantly writing about it. Friends, Seinfeld, Lost and that show about the dragon. Starbucks and trying to figure out what the secret codes on the side of the cups meant. Virgin Mobile, collecting Spice Girl stickers from their gum, wanting to run away. Spending hours outside doing nothing. Scooters, bike helmets, skateboards and leaning to ski. Swearing in different languages, winning art awards, wanting to be just like Seth Cohen. British accents, beenie babies, crazy bones, yoyos, The Simpsons, Street Cents and other after school TV shows. 10-year-olds with complex relationships, overalls and crocks. Lunch bags, creepy cafeteria ladies, 1997, Bay Watch and being amazed by Pamela Anderson. Water fights, sleepovers, Jurassic Park, fear of the dark, scary stories, flashlights and finally understanding sex jokes. Barnie, Teletubbies, Blues Clues. Disney, French classes, High School Musical. Honey, I Shrunk The Kids sequels, Kelly Osbourn and her Japanese show. Toilettes flushing backwards, Professor Dumbledore and finishing the Potter series. MuchMusic video awards and other award shows. Lazytown, pink wigs, Charlie Brown and Christmas specials. Buffy, GAP shirts and seeing if they're real or not. Lipstick on the mirror; I Know What You Did Last Summer. Nev Campbell, Monopoly, Guess Who, Life, Scene It. Apple juice, Oreos, jam toast and that colorful bread. Kudies. Grass stains and sunburns.

That's what I'll remember when I'm older.
