50 Kids Get a Wii for Christmas. I know my ovaries are just supposed to shrivel up in the face of such hysteria and avarice, but I actually thought that was kind of sweet. I’m sure that if my parents had had a videocamera in 1983 when I got my Cabbage Patch kid I would’ve looked just like this. (Also, judging by the amount of wrapping paper and boxes in those living rooms: what economic crisis?!)
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

If you drank every time everyone said ‘oh my god’ it would be like the Roxanne drinking game, lol
(*cough* Nintendo ad)
Yeah, there’s a video somewhere of me when I unwrapped the *front row* New Kids tickets for Christmas 1989.
And there was much rejoicing.
I think I heard you from my house that year. And lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in my living room. 🙂
