How long has it been since you type Myspace.com into the search bar of your favorite internet browser?! For me, it had been about five years. Five years up until last night that is. LEXIE was doing it first and as she sat there and uncontrollably laughed about a post our sister Callie wrote on her wall I felt the urge to do the same. So, I quickly(after 10million tries) conjured up my login information and signed on eager to see the beauty of my Whateverlife.com custom layout, about me section,old blog posts, top 8 friends (I was exclusive), my old photos, the old "ICONS" and the days of all the girls writing "I can't put mascara on without my mouth being open". What I found was both disappointing and a treasure! Sadly, Myspace is not the same overdone glitzy can't scroll down the page because of how many icons and gifs you have place it once was, and Tom and I are no longer friends!! :( It is now very clean and white! Streamlined and centered all around music, as it always was. I remember P!ATD coming into my life right as myspace was ushered in and
and I obsessively sang THERE'S A GOOD REASON THESE TABLES ARE NUMBERED HONEY. YOU JUST HAVEN'T THOUGHT OF IT YET in our room. But for all it lacked, I was able to uncover a good amount of old high school era photos and a few wall posts along with a playlist of my old profile songs. I must say, I had pretty good taste back then! Best of all were the videos that we uncovered. I'll share one that is so my life back then and defining of that mini era.. at the end. So without further ado, allow me to use my "myspace generation" skills and conjure up a little of what you would have seen if you had visited my myspace page circa 2004- 2007.


The Homemade Halloween Pink Toga Profile Picture and Good 'Ol About Me Section. Please feel free to laugh at the latter. It was a whole lot of inside jokes put together that I only remember about half of. ;) I was a charmer, no?
























Okay, that's enough. Although I have to admit, I could get addicted to this task again. Ah, the days of browsing photobucket for hours! Funny thing is that up until today, Photobucket even had the same layout as it did in the Myspace days of old. Oh, and I think this was meant to tell you about what I like in icon form. LOVE IT!
So all my blogs had disappeared, which is a disappointment and I don't have many wall posts either. So, I shall leave you with these photos of old.

Thanks for reliving the glory days with me! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I also hope that each of you will go and break into your old pages and laugh, cry, feel sentimental about where you are now. I can say that I have changed a lot, but the spirit of who I was then still remains in me today! To me, the beauty of being in High School and being young is that you are carefree and true. You haven't experienced every bit of bad or weird that the world is and that defines you. I hope that I can remember to not care too much of other opinions (especially negative ones) as I continue in my life.
I just have to say, WE WERE FABULOUS then. and WE WERE SO FUN. we still are, but in different ways, so...let's bring back a little "high school" in our lives!
ReplyDeleteoh, and I agree. Let's bring back that little icon photobucket trend. those things are just as adorable now as they were then!
DeleteLet's do it to it! :) And I'm all for bringing a little bit of High School back into our lives. We were a lot of fun back then. I won't lie. I miss it in a lot of ways.
