I know taking away Columbine won't lighten your load much, but it was in 1999. I can think of other things to replace it, but I won't mention them!

Columbine was in Spring on '99.

(ETA: I just realized Vandal posted that right before I did lol)


This decade will be the first that I can actually remember, in it's entirety (I was 5 in '90, so I don't fully remember all of the 90s).

News wise of course there is:
9/11
Katrina
Bush elections
Obama's Election
the drug war that erupted across the border (here at least, it wasn't like that before)

Personally:
graduating HS
moving out on my own and gaining the independence I needed
joining Alpha Phi
graduating college
traveling
experiencing a hurricane (hey that's cool to a desert dwelling Texan lol)

that's all i can think of at the moment

Don't worry -- I've only used the Aughties a few times, and then I was beeing sarcastic. Very sarcastic. I've seen or heard all of these, though.

Let's just say older brother and the madness will be stopped. :cool:

Hmmm....so much has happened in the last decade.

*I went from high school freshman to Master's student (and will have said Master's before the decade's over).
*There's been a lot of loss...my grandmother, grandfather, favorite uncle, great-aunt, great-uncle, favorite singer, and 4 pets all died in a very short space of time.
*I've also had a LOT of friends leave my life only to realize that weren't very good friends (but it still ripped me apart). I'm pretty okay with this decade leaving--it's been hell.

On the upside: I had my first boyfriend, first date, etc. Went on my first out-of-country vacation, my first cruise, first trip to NYC and other places I'd never been. I've had some good times. It wasn't all bad, I guess.

while celebrating my SIL's b day tonight, I just remembered my brother and best friend I lost in Iraq...bro would have been 37 next month.

yeah...it's amazing the things we find and lose in the space of 10 years.

that reminds me - i need to stop by FedEx and send off YOUR "cool older brother/young uncle" card. :)

I sit corrected on Columbine... it's still been a crappy decade for me.

Okay, yayyyyyy we're back on. :)

LOL! I almost missed this. Yayyyyyy

We are a family.... like a giant treeeee

Plusses - BIG Plusses!
 

ACK!!! How on earth did I forget the Steelers winning the Super Bowl, then the Steelers winning the Super Bowl the same year as the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup?!

The Red Sox beat the Yankees to win the American League pennant!

To continue the sports related posts...

The White Sox won a world series!

(And that other Chicago team still hasn't...AND this decade marked the 100th anniversary of their last world series....muahahaha!!)

The boy would SO agree with you! :D

I started and finished high school. Got two AMAZING horses. Started college, became Greek. Big decade for me but I suppose I'm only twenty so I only have two of them lol.

bumping for sake of the calendar argument....hehe
