nostalgia part amillion aka i miss the 90's
Tonite, while participating in woot.com's woot off hoping for a good deal on a flat screen tv while also trying to do homework - I started playing on imeem and was reminded of something.... Being little and the music my mom would play. She had (and still has) eclectic taste in music, and lots of various songs will remind me of her. However, for some reason I started listening to Loreena Mckennitt and Enya and got incredibly nostalgic for an aspect of the 90's that often goes under my nostalgia radar.
When I think of the 90's, I think of getting my first music tapes at a flea market, which were hole's "live through this", nirvana unplugged, and milla jovovich - and listening to them in my room while looking out the window and writing curse words in my diary all night... this was when my insomnia started (age 8?)
I think of early 90's hip hop and when my cousin Lizzy came and visit and how she wouldn't take the porno for pyro's tape my sister tried to give her because there was a picture of a devil on it. four non blondes played a lot.
I think of bjork's "human behavior", and beavis and butthead. I also think of bjork's "its oh so quiet" which reminds me of moving to my grandparents temporarily when my parents got divorced, beating super mario, and batman forever being my favorite movie.
I miss that house, but more importantly I miss my grandparents
I think of the Spice Girls and Hanson and being a pre-teen that was obsessed with aliens, ghost hunting, tamagotchis, and was boy crazy.
And I think, one of my most favorite feelings of nostalgia, is hearing this particular brand of my mom's music taste (celtic and different celtic variations) and remembering spending lots of time outside wanting to catch fairies and find a secret garden. The scented oils my mom used to buy, and begrudgingly accompanying her to bead stores and church when she was going to a metaphysical church in takoma park. Sometimes my sister would walk me to chuck & daves and now & then. Her practicing reiki on me, and doing past life regressions where I would say I was an English woman that lived near the sea in a past life.
Enya also reminds me of the dolphin show at the aquarium, and potomac mills having large tv's that played "orinoco flow."
This is all moreso for myself, so I dont forget these - cause it warms me up and I don't want to forget
