I was going to write about my guilty pleasures, but I thought about it and came to the conclusion that if I do/enjoy really embarrassing things, it would be beyond stupid to share them here. But I did want to embarrass myself in one way or another, so I'll embarrass the me I was like nine years ago. Cheers to the stupid things I've done/enjoyed in the past.
-The Olsen twins. I just think this is funny because they turned out to be stoners with eating (and fashion...) disorders. Right? They did, didn't they? At age 8, Sarah Lines and I were kind of convinced that the greatest proffession we could ever aspire to be when we grew up was "Olsen twin". And so we'd pretend we were the Olsen twins. She was always Mary-Kate and I was always Ashley. It's kind of funny how that turned out, because wasn't Ashley the really uptight one? ...Lol. I was always this way.
-The Jonas Brothers. On the list of horrible interests I've had in the past, I'd pretty much guaruntee this one takes the top spot. Partially because I was 14, so I can't blame it on being too young to know better. I knew better, and I still spent the entire summer before freshman year rocking out to Burnin' Up and the Camp Rock soundtrack. I owned a shirt with Nick Jonas' face on it. (...Yeah, owned...past tense...because I don't still have that in my closet...or anything...) I went to their concert and cried from emotional overwhelm. (I don't think 'overwhelm' serves as a noun, but the grammar police will just have to hop off) I don't even want to think about how much time I wasted obsessing over the Jonas Brothers.
-The Impossible Quiz. I think of this because the girl who sits next to me in this class is doing it right now, and has been for the past few weeks. All I have to say about this one is that that's 4 days of my life I'll never get back...
-Clothes. This is an all-encompassing one to all the ridiculous trends from intermediate and junior high that did none of us any good, but are awesome things to look back on.
Gauchos: Did no one learn anything from the parachute pants trend? If it looks something a juditsu champion would wear train in, don't wear it to school. Even if it does say "Bebe" on the back in rhinestones.
Those horrible sparkly belts: You know you remember them. The elastic belts covered in monochromatic sequins that attached at the center with metal like a dog collar, and we all wore them over top of ugly shirts? Win.
The cropped sweater shirt things that tied in the center: My favorite one I owned was a turquoise one from Aeropostale. I know, precious, right?
The lace trimmed tank tops from Abercrombie and Hollister: In retrospect, those were really sleazy.
Birkenstocks: Okay, you're not gonna buy this. But I swear to you... I honestly thought they were cute. It's one thing if you buy them because they're comfortable or because everyone else wears them. But no, I thought they were attractive.
Ugly Intermediate School trends, here's to you.
-Cobra Starship. Almost ironic that they had a song called "Guilty Pleasure"? No offense if you still like them. But really, that was an awful time in my music taste. RIP 8th grade.
