Leave It in the '00s

  • "Awkward"
  • "Obvi," "totes," "apps" and all other spoken abbreviations
  • Uggs
  • The ubiquitous North Face Denali jacket
  • Couples referred to with one name (Brangelina, Speidi)
  • Rampant consumerism
  • Texting as a substitute for actual conversation
  • Vampires. Enough already.
  • Egomaniac rudeness (I'm looking at you, Kanye West and Joe Wilson)
  • Mammoth road vehicles for stay-at-home moms and bored financiers
  • Fame without merit (Heidi and Spencer, Octomom, Balloon Boy, et al)
  • Overabundance of TV shows about weddings and enormous families
  • Coach purses. Again, enough already.
  • Sarah Palin

I agree, especially with the Vampires!

I wanted to tell you that I just spent an hour reading all of your entries from the past year instead of doing my homework. It's funny how similar our tastes are, I adore all of the pictures you put up and all of the activities you express interest in. I also love the way you write, it's been fun to read! I have to admit, I live in Minnesota and still wear my Uggs out of practicality and warmth..

I'm fairly certain that most of those things existed before the naughties (unfortunately) and so will continue on as long as people are tacky.

Although I'm surprised that a New England prepster would pass judgment on Denali jackets and Uggs. Those are like the uniform of preppy girls in the winter where I come from (spoken from experience living in MA for 18 years).

And I like wedding shows!
