So my partner and I met up yesterday, partly to discuss serious grown-up stuff like the house we want to rent, and partly to see a movie. And while we were out, we basically rewound the clock to 15 years ago: hanging around the mall (including getting cheap mall Chinese food and Orange Julius), shopping at Hot Topic, going into the Bath and Bodyworks just to sniff candles, etc. And it was nice. IDK if because our teenage years were wasted living in oppressive households or because we, as adults, continue to oppress ourselves by saying "We're too old for that". Probably both. But it made me think, and I realized, regardless of reason, I still enjoy a lot of stuff I had scarcely even thought about in over a decade. And maybe that's OK. I guess it helps that neither of us look our age, so we can get away with it. :^P
