A 2004 Holiday Wish List

As the holiday's are vastly approaching, us 90s kids are forced to remember the extensive wish list that we prepared for our parents and apologize for the wasted hundreds they spent every year on things we used no more than two times and then forgot about.

1. American Girl Dolls

2. Hit Clips

3. Limited Too Door Bell

4. Portable DVD Player

5. Dream Life Video Game

6. The Sims Expansion Packs

7. Hello Kitty TV

8. Lip Phone

9. Lava Lamps

10. Spice Cam

11. Karaoke Machine

12. Overhead Projector

13. Dance Dance Revolution

14. Nintendo DS

15. Tamagotchi

16. Razor Scooter

17. Easy Bake Oven

18. Webkinz

19. Wacky Packs

20. Iwako Take Apart Erasers

21. Live Strong Bracelets

22. Jibitz for Crocs

23. Beaded Door Curtains

24. iPod Nano

25. Heely's

26. VideoNow

27. Floam

28. PixelChix

29. Dear Diary

30. Bop It

As you read this and nod along, remember the simpler times. Times when 8 year olds weren't walking around with a nicer phone than you and times where a board game actually involved a board and not a computer screen. Throw it back to the hours you spent redecorating your Webkinz home or the time you spent waiting for your VideoNow disc to stop skipping. Happy holidays!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
