But enough about me – tell ME more about YOU…

… so you’ve arrived at the right place if anything above or below resonates with you:

Are you a part of the prestigious, gritty, Rocky Balboa-esque Gen X?
Did you ride in a Ford Station wagon with wood panels and questionnable “seat belts”? (or not)
Were mixed tapes your first love language?
Was ET the first movie you saw in the movie theater and did that scene with the men in white space suits haunt you for a long, long time?
Did you ever listen to a radio station’s Top 10 to press record for your song of the moment (see: mixed tapes)?
When you went to LAX for the first time, did you think of the movie, “AIRPLANE!”? (e.g., “… the loading zone is for loading and unloading only...”)
Have you ever taken a picture of your friends and you doing the Breakfast Club Dance (IYKYK)?
Was Jordan Catalano your end game?
Did you, as Baby, ever get put in a Corner?
Did you feel like Artax didn’t have to die in the Swamp of Sadness?
Do you remember what a “black top” is?
- Did you ever skin said knees, elbows or other appendages on aforementioned “black top”?
Holler if you owned (still own) a Teddy Ruxpin.
Do you remember “Singled Out” or “TRL” on MTV? (IMO: “Singled Out” was far superior and our version of those stupid, putrid, homeoginized dating apps). Let’s just do this live!
Did you wear hoops, low rise jeans and a tube top with black wedges to go out for Thirsty Thursday? (I promise an entire post/essay/story on this with pics as inspiration)
Did you ever order at buy one get one free (AKA “BOGO”) Long Island Iced Teas for your crew because it was the cheapest route to getting drunk when you were broke AF in college?
Raise your hand if you smoked Parliaments on your walk to lecture. Double GenX points if you attempted Newports!

Welcome… you/we have arrived.
