Let's go oldschool

Remember Mail? I prefer email but it's still pretty neat to get something that's traveled across the world :) Remember Cassettes? 'Tiffany' was my first tape cassette & i wore it out ;) lol, uggg, remember those tape players that only had fastforward, no rewind... and you'd be trying to "find your song" and miss it...then have to flip it, ff, flip it again and try to ff to find it?! Lol, those were a time eater! ;) Which brings up an even better oldschool... MIXTAPES! I loved making mixtapes, I felt like I was making the most beautiful compilation everytime, it was the best gift to give ;) My friend Ashli is the queen of mixtapes and mashups. Oh cds, how you changed things ;) Remember the fashination with Photobooth Effects? We rediscovered it on New Years and took a (few) hundred photos ;) I'm gonna go cut my own bangs then I'm off to Michaels with Keith, he's so awesome... he doesn't rush me and he likes to buy stuff there too :) XOXO, Leigh-Ann

  5. I remember my friend making me a BFF mixtape when we were in the 4th grade. It had stickers all over it & heavily featured Hanson.
    I've just signed up @ www.postcrossing.com < a site where people send each other postcards, as I am also a fan of good ol snail mail. :)
    Great post!

  24. What a friggin' cute post! Yes, I remember all that stuff and I honestly (now, I'm not lying here) think Tiffany was my first tape too, either that or Debbie Gibson. That was in 6th grade, yeesh.
