Boy, I hope enough time has passed so that my entries aren't piggybacked one on top of the other....sheesh.

You know what a "burnout" is.

You know the profound meaning of "wax on, wax off".

You know that another name for a keyboard is a "Synthesizer".

You can name at least half of the members of the elite "Brat Pack".

You felt ashamed when Rob Lowe got in trouble for having sex with
minors and videotaping it, because you liked him.

You know who Max Headroom is.

You never wore fluorescent, neon if you will, clothing.

You could breakdance, or wish you could.

You wanted to be The Hulk for Halloween.

You Believed that "By the power of Greyskull, you HAD the power!"

Partying "like it's 1999" seemed SO far away.

You thought that Transformers were more than meets the eye.

You wanted to be on StarSearch.

You can remember what Michael Jackson looked like before his nose
fell off.

You wore a banana clip at some point during your youth, or knew
someone who did.

You hold a special place in your heart for "Back to the Future".

You know where to go if you "wanna go where everybody knows
your name".

You thought Molly Ringwald was REALLY cool.

You actually thought "Dirty Dancing" was a REALLY good movie.

You knew "The Artist" when he was humbly called "Prince".

You own any cassettes.

You were led to believe that in the year 2000 we'd all be living on

friend, are a "Child of the 80's".



Let's see, content, content...

Ah, wedding update! Invitations ordered, officiant confirmed, Dad placated on costs (though I haven't mentioned the DJ to him yet). Still have not been able to contact the person I want to have cook/serve the meal. >:O <-- Bridezilla face

I think we can do this for less than $2000 including the major honeymoon costs. Phew.

Woo hoo! Which invite in particular is yours? And from what I understand it, $2000 is extremely good for a wedding. I'm sure it will be wonderful!

They're the ones at the top left, cherished roses, I think. I hope to have them addressed by the end of the week (postage will be another matter, as 150 invites x .37 postage x .23 each response card = small bank balance) and they'll go out mid-September.

*feels organized*
*sighs*

I think I might have to ask someone else to cook the dinner though :'( since I can't get hold of the guy I want.

Oooooh, pretty! Postage is horribly expensive, yes. Please don't worry about sending one to me -- it all adds up! Am sorry about the dinner thing, though :-( *hugs*

My problem is, because I was born in the middle of the 60's, I can relate to both the child of the 70's and child of the 80's lists...70's for kids' toys and 80's for teenage stuff and music (although I started my teen years in the 70's).

Still, I wax poetic.

:::sigh:::

As for weddings...wow, I don't think I know anyone who has been able to put together such a cost economical wedding...that's quite a feat in this day and age.

You must post at least one picture.
