Dec. 30th, 2009 08:17 amAnd now the decade in review.
2000- The world didn't end, ATMs didn't spit cash out at people, and Australia didn't sink into the sea. For me, I lost my damn mind sometime in late spring and still can't really remember a big chunk of what I managed to do with myself. Went on a bit of a roadtrip with Ari's family for Cass's graduation. Wore the worst dress in all of existence. We shall not speak of how short it was. No, no we shall not. We will marvel at how many of the girls at Cass's inferior school had children. Cuz whoa. A lot. Mostly 2000 was when I worked at the gas station, I do believe, and lived with Cass once she came back to town.
However, towards the end of my reign as station queen supreme, my world changed completely. Drove out to the Walmart with my brother, Jackie, and Cass. Bought some hair mascara (I know, right?) and I believe I paid for the pregnancy tests Jackie needed.
I still remember being sure my parents were going to kill my brother. Cass and I even went for a long walk in the cold rain so we wouldn't be around to witness his murder. And then... my dad was oddly quiet about it. No yelling. No screaming. No... nothing. Weird.
2001: Widget was born. 9/11 scared the crap out of everyone. Waded into the Charmed fandom.
2002: I want to say TS3 opened this year. Wasn't it between seasons 4 and five? I swear, other fandoms may be crazy, but for sheer entertainment, I have to say I think the Charmed fandom was usually more entertaining than the show at points. Big hugs for the Charmed fandom-friends, even if the fandom and the show are both deader than dead! :p *hugs*
2003: MyScene dolls. I fell into fandom (as much as we've got one) after Delancey appeared on the shelves. So Nolee and Madison got my attention, but you can blame everything else on Delancey. plastic dolly love hugs! *huggle*
2004: Fairly certain this is when I started my overnight gig at work. Which means Cass got handfasted, which means He Who Shall Not Be Named visited twice. Got my first take of Pullip crack which leads to more plastic dolly love hugs.
2005: Widget's mother went nuts, kept Widget from us for ages. I like to think I helped bring him back when I swallowed my bitchery and sent her gran a card that nicely asked if she could send along the well wishes. Widget. For. Christmas. I win.
2006: Cass and Ari begin their battle over who will get hitched first. Ari gets her bridal shower first though Cass did put in a hell of an effort trying to get herself engaged and hitched.
2007: Everyone on the damn planet I know either spawns or gets married. The hell, people? My three closest childhood friends ALL get married in the same year. Can claim I knew someone who was on reality TV.
2008: 11 years of friendship/more than gets blown off. Drown sorrows by going to Georgia and getting bitten by the AG bug. 2008 can kiss my ass.
2009: Still more people with the marriage and spawning. Well. Same couple for getting hitched and knocked up. Baby born to different friend.
That is my decade in review.
