I was born in 1981. I had a sister who was 7 years older and one that was 4 years older. I loved watching Facts of Life, Growing Pains, Who's the Boss etc with them. I love 80s music. I have some 80s CDs that I have made in my car. I hardly ever listen to anything else. My husband makes fun of me. I was the hugest New Kids on the Block Fan. I thought that since my sister was only like 2 years younger then Joey that they should date. To this day if there is an 80s sitcom on TV, I will choose to watch it. My husband says that if someone looked at our DVR they would think that it was from the 80s. My all time favorite movie is Adventures in Babysitting. I went to middle school in the 90s and I used to make my best friend watch it at least every other Friday night. I know people say that Grease 2 is a bad movie, but I don't agree at all. I LOVE that movie. My sisters and I had the tape of the songs. We'd sing and dance to them. I remember making up a dance to Cool Rider with my sister. WE would point at my dad so I guess he was the cool rider. When my dad got his new Jeep Cherokee my sister and I said he was a cool rider.I love the old 80's toys too. I had Baby Alive in the 80's. Now my neice has a creepy looking new version. A 4 year old at church had on a My Melody shirt the other day. I told her I used to like My Melody about 20 years ago. She looked at me like I was crazy. I can't describe it there is just a feeling I get when I watch an old 80's tv show or movie. I could entertain myself all day watching You Tube videos of 80s things. I can't really get into the leggings crazz or the ballet flats. I wore them almost everyday in kindergarten and first grade.

I was just 3 months shy of my 16th birthday when it happened. School was closed that day because of the weather. (In Atlanta, 1/8th of an inch of snow is enough to close the roads, because it will melt and re-freeze into a sheet of ice). I had walked to a friend's house across the street, and we were in his basement playing on his Commodore 64 when my sister called. "Omigod! The Space Suttle just BLEW UP!" We quickly switched the TV to CNN just in time to see them re-playing the video for the first time. I vividly remember, later that afternoon, Peter Jennings on ABC news going over it again and again. And later that evening, Ronald Reagan's speech about the 7 people onboard the Shuttle and how they "slipped the surly bonds of Earth, to touch the face of God." Hard to believe it's been more than twenty-two years since that day.

I was a freshman at Jackson State University. I was walking to my computer science class, I looked to the sky and wondered if the space shuttle launched safely. The professor walked into class and said, "Now that the space shuttle has exploded, what do we do now"? The entire class gasped. We talked about it and class was released early because everyone wanted to go to find a television.
