90's Child

I have been reminiscing today about the good ole days....which for me is the 90's. What got me started was the fact that I just bought a pair of teal colored Keds.
If you aren't sure what Keds are, here is a picture:












When I was a kid, my mom had a pair of these and I remember - wanting to be like mom because she was the most BA person I knew - I wanted a pair just like hers. In the 90's, Keds were the poor people shoes, so mom was like,
"Sure thing, I can afford those."
And now they cost up to $50 depending on the design of the shoe or where you buy them at. No one has time for that.

I also came across this in my internet exploration:

Definitely my childhood summed up in 50 photographs.

Because of this nostalgia for the past, my roommate and I decided to play MASH. Every 90's girl that ever attended a slumber party, or had friends, should know what this game is. If you don't, let me explain it to you.

1. MASH stands for Mansion, Apartment, Shack, and House.Those are your possible future living arrangements.
2. You pick other categories such as Career, City you live in, Husband (or partner, since we are living in the current day and understand that people love people no matter what gender), how much money you will make, how many kids you will have, and what kind of car you will drive.
3. Fill in the categories with 4 or more things. For example, under my Partner category I might have: Channing Tatum, Jake Johnson, Ashton Kutcher, and Rupert Grint.
4. In each category your friends gets to add an option you have no say about. They can either be really nice and add a young Johnny Depp, or they can be eggheads and add PeeWee Herman. Who knows.
5. You draw a spiral until your friend says stop and the number of lines til you get to the middle is the count for the game.
6. You start at the M in MASH and count through the lists, cross off whatever you land on until you have one option left in each category.

You end up with some pretty awesome stuff.
My roommate had it pretty good after her game.

She lives in a house in Chicago, married to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, working as an Environmental Activist for 100,000 a year with two kids.
Not bad.
Not bad at all.

If you feel the need, I would love to hear how your life turns out.
In MASH, that is.
