So, I figure most of us are within the same age group (not that it really matters just makes it a little more relatable). What are some nostalgic things from your younger days? Not just tv shows and music but maybe actual places or activities as well. I'll start off with just a few. I watched a lot of TV but didn't get cable till I was older so I watched the same four channels basically, WB, FOX, UPN, and ABC. UPN? Remember that? Before BET. Riding the school bus and not getting home till 4PM cuz I was the 2nd to last stop. "One Saturday Morning" which was early Saturday morning cartoons on ABC. I remember a show about Science. Science court? I watched a thing called TGIF every Friday night as a kid also, a series of about 4 family comedies that I thought were so funny at the time but sort of cheezy and lame humor when I look back now.
RC cola for me as well. I liked soda so much, I would have a couple a day. My parents hid it from me in their closet and I remember sneaking in and getting some. (lol, early signs of addiction?).
Playing fugitive and hide and seek outside in the dark. Rollerblades. Rollerblades were significantly cooler than skates. Buying pokemon cards in the lil packs at Walmart. I wish I would have kept mine. I found a few not too long ago, holographic and one even in Japanese. I remember thinking I was gonna be so rich one day. Giga pets and tamagatchis. Used to love those so much, I got an app recently that was the same thing and I was "God, how did I ever find this entertaining". Burning CD's. (Using Kazzaa to download music). My first cell phone I got when I was 13 that had no caller ID and you had to pull an antenna up.
Getting lunch detention. I remember thinking I was so cool because I listened to "punk" rock. (all kinds from The Casualties and Rancid to more poppy stuff like Blink 182). I also dressed ridiculous in 7th and 8th grade. Plaid pants and lots of black. Doc martins and fishnets etc. Music taste not so embarrassing but looking back at my "Hot Topic" phase I guess one would call it, I'd be lying if I didn't face palm. But whatever, I doubt many 12-14 year olds have the greatest fashion sense.
Idk, just in a nostalgic kind of mood. lol, my first car. Red pontiac grand am. What a piece of shit lol. Using MSN messenger but not really having any friends so pretending to be offline every time I logged in. Making a myspace for the first time at my friends house and saying "Hey look I already have a friend" (It was Tom).
Anyone else feeling nostalgic? Maybe just a story from your younger days?

I started watching Pete and Pete once I got actual cable (as an older kid, probably around 9 years old). It was just the reruns though I think because I remember the show looking old. Danny Tamberelli (sp?) was one of the Petes though. Lil red headed kid that was also on the early seasons of All That ( the only ones that matter ). Speaking of All That, I remember it being one of my favorite shows as a kid. Then, as a teenager, they brought it back with a new cast and it was awful.
Having friends in middle school, playing manhunt all the time and having major brotalks
that one rugrats episode all growed up because I remember having it on vhs and I was afraid of the paramount intro thing and I would always hide behind a chair
