What do you remember about the 80's? (Share some of your personal memories)
--I remember when Gumby was big and my best friend in 9th grade and I went as Gumby (me) and Pokey (Lisa) for Halloween ( in 1982)! We went to a party, and all our friends started calling Lisa & I "Gumby and Pokey" which they called us for a few years. Even some of the teachers in high school used to call us that!

--I remember the Cold War, and how in 1986 when I graduated from high school, I went away to college and wondered if I would graduate from college, or we'd go to war with the USSR and blow up the world with nuclear weapons.

--I remember wearing leg warmers in middle school.

--I remember when Smurfs were in, and at parties people would make this alcoholic punch called Smurf Cum Punch (OK, I didn't come up with it, LOL!!), which had Seven-Up and lime sherbet and Everclear (Proof) alcohol; and you wouldn't realize how much you were drinking because it tasted soooo good. I remember getting SO DRUNK on it that I got violently sick!! . . . Yeah, I was the Little 80's Party Girl. I wasn't even old enough to be legally drinking since I turned 21 in June 1989.

What kind of clothes did you wear? (Name at least 1 thing that is totally 80's)
--I wore those paisley print jeans with the zippers and bows at the back of the ankle, and those flat MIA shoes.

How did you do your hair?
--Long and layered halfway down my back with bangs. I spent like an hour trying to get my thick, straight hair to curl up. I'd put it in hot rollers, spray it and mousse it with Paul Mitchell Mousse and fluff it out with a pick.

What music did you listen to?
--Pop and rock. Everything from Madonna to The Police.

Who was your favorite band?
--U2

What shows did you watch on TV?
--I remember watching "General Hospital" in high school, and "Knot's Landing"

Do you remember any movies from the 80's?
--"The Breakfast Club" was the first movie Michael & I ever went to with each other on one of our first dates. I also remember going to see "Goodmorning Vietnam" with him, and some weird movie with that girl from "The Cosby Show" about Voodoo in New Orleans, and "Children of a Lesser God" with William Hurt, and the "Indiana Jones" movies and "La Bamba". . . Those were all the movies we saw together on dates when we were in high school!

Name 5 things you did for the first time in the 80's:
(1) Took my first alcoholic drink
(2) Smoked my first cigarette
(3) Fell in love :)
(4) Lost my virginity
(5) Learned to drive
