    Oh my gosh. I am 14 and some of the tv shows I didn't know but like 99% of your list related to me. It brought back a lot of memories and in a way kinda yielded the confusion of being a teenager. Make more lists if you have the time I know a lot of people would appricate it. and some things you might add

    * begging to stay up for 5 more minutes*

    * when bubble gum used to cost 0.01*

    * sitting at the kids table, comparing sizes of deserts.*

    I ve ignored some shows since I refused to watch Disney and Cartoon Network.

    I remember Klasky Csupo, Rugrats, (watching it right now.) Hey Arnold, The wild thornberries, Rocko s Modern life, My life as a teenage robot, Danny Phantom, Invader Zim, ETC.

    I remember playing with only a ball, hitting it against a tree and just use my imagination. I remember playing outside more than I do right now as a sixteen year old. I didn t have a care in the world. I would hang out more with my grandma and plant things, clean, play with my old cat, playing in the park, being afraid of monkey bars, eating icecream from the icecream machine. (Which I stopped from a long time ago.) I didn t care about my studies, Watched Television more than studying, My DSI and Flipnote Hatena/Flipnote studio, staying up all night writing with others on Hatena. I remember loving to rollerblade all the time and taught myself while holding onto a chair, etc. I know this post is old, but oh well. :-)

    haha, i'm thirteen. i still do some of these things... lol. Mostly things we are forced to do in school. field trips to the zoo, heads up seven up, birthdays and valentines, we still watch Bill Bye the Science Guy videos, and even Magic School Bus (and everyone pretends to hate them). I cried when my best friend ever moved away last year, I still have three or four best friends, and you are never too old to play hide and seek at dusk! Whoever said slip n slides were bad either? And I love calling Q102 to request songs :) haha. This makes me feel old, while still making me feel like the baby of the adolescents section. haha.

    P.S. Never forget As told by Ginger, and Hey Arnold!

  • 1 decade ago

    I can remember most of that stuff.

    God, those were the days....

    Still:

    *Heads Up 7 Up.

    *Double Dare.

    *Bill-Nye the Science Guy.

    *Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school.

    *When Christmas was the most exciting time of year.

    *Decisions were made by going 'eeny-meeny-miney-moe'.

    *It wasn't odd to have two or three 'best' friends.

    *When Valentines Day meant cards for all.

    *When birthdays were a class event.

    *When a friend moving away was the saddest day of your life.

    Those are the things still present in my life.

    All the others, I'll remember.

    Just not the second-grade cooties. Real cooties. Like herpes.
