Hand me that afghan, sonny.

This year is the first time I've really felt old. I remember 1995 very clearly, and with every ten-year anniversary, I get a little more weirded out. Do you realize it's been TEN YEARS since...

...the Oklahoma city bombing
...Clueless
...the O.J. trial
...the release of No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom (still one of my favorite albums of all time)
...Forrest Gump

Then there are my own personal events, such as...
...I went on a three-week tour of Southern Europe (I still e-mail with one of the girls I met on the trip)
...Most of my high school friends graduated
...My sister became a color guard runner for our band (at ten, she was the youngest on the field)
...I failed pre-calculus and was allowed to drop the class, signaling my emancipation from math classes

None of that seems like it was ten years ago. Very weird. That's my thought for the day.
