And being teenaged in the 1980s wasn't anything special. For one thing, Ronald Reagan slashed the school budgets and then declared that catsup counted as a vegetable in school lunches. The food was, therefore, wicked bad as the cooks tried to work out some way to put a quarter cup of catsup into every dish (catsup was government-subsidised, and cheaper than tomato sauce). Other than that, the Reagan/Bush regime was about like the Bush II reign of terror that we just had- high deficits, repressive policies, senseless wars that got the whole world pissed at us. There were yuppies and yuppie-wanna-bees everywhere, too. Cellphones were rare, and weighed 10lb apiece. Music was good, though.
If I could be a teen in any era, I'd get do-overs and be a teen today. I think it would be much easier to be a gay kid now, than 20 years ago.
I feel you on the last part. And I do think that each era has it's own ups and downs about school and such. But yeah, I'd mostly be in it for the music and such.
And who doesn't love how wrong comics can get? haha
You are getting me more and more interested in this pairing >> HOW DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS TO ME?! First it's Nathan/Murderface, now it's Captain America/Iron Man.
Marvel LOVES to throw slashers bones. They know it makes our lives just a little bit brighter :3

But yeah, I just thought I'd give it the old search-a-rooney after that discussion with cheez0rs...and the internet gave me that list.
So, personally, I blame the internet. XP
Also, I LOVE your icon.
