The beginning of 2000 started out pretty bad with all of the holy rollers going, “Y2K! Y2K!” thinking the world was coming to an end and we did get attacked by terrorists on 9/11/01, Hurricane Katrina slammed New Orleans in ’05, the list goes on.

Uh-oh, I was unaware this decade was awful! I’ve gone from 6 to 16 this decade so it’s been (and will be, there are a few happy days left yet) my best decade anyway. But then I didn’t know what politics was when I was 6 and Facebook has made be literally good at high school at the appropriate time. And I can’t compare it to any other era.
Oh and kudos for the Mean Girls pic.

LETTERS. NOTES. i wish i remembered how we folded them. we were so creative. DO YOU REMEMBER WRITING THEM IN A CIRCULAR PATTERN AROUND THE PAPER DO YOU DO YOU. my friend and i would write letters in wingdings. that’s right, i said we’d WRITE the letters IN WINGDINGS.

what do they do now? text? there’s no lasting copy of a text message! i still have notes in shoe boxes. KIDS TODAY SIGH.

I think the best part of the 00s was the celebration leading up to it – people partying like it’s 1999.

Does anybody remember “ABC 2000 Today” with Peter Jennings? I remember spending a good part of the day watching that.

yes, yes they are. unfortunately. when it was ‘unveiled’ everyone was like wtf and also they had to stop running the adverts on tv with it animated as it was giving epileptic people seizures. its fucking terrible.

I will be there and so will be my books. But I feel we need to do something for the weird world, like, write books on the necessity of parallel existences in space and time and how the trees really know everything there is to know.

i sent out for pen pals in the mail (they’d advertise like where you could get pen-pals in different magazines that i read, or we would get them via school or girl scouts) and then wrote them letters. i actually got my school pictures every year with extra wallet sized photos SO I COULD SEND THEM TO MY PEN PALS. cuz everyone wanted to send photos to pen pals. i liked having pretty girl penpals for some strange reason.

And we passed notes a lot special folding and so forth.

I use pens for “brainstorms,” notes, crosswords and I write first drafts in pens for shorter pieces too. i always have a pen on me.
