I liked to wear them with crop tops. Oh, and skirts with suspenders on them. I wore cartoony boxer shorts underneath. Also loved Mariah Carey at this age - Dreamlover was a good one, though that might have been late elementary school. Fantasy - was that middle school? Video set in an amusement park, ODB rapping in it. Ahh, memories. I did not ever record the audio from favourite movies, but I did record favourite songs over and over and over again on one side of a tape, and then another favourite song 10 times on the other side, so I could get my fill of Fantasy, or whatever the song of my moment was. :) Thanks for sharing, Sarah!

Love it! Although I've never audio recorded a movie, my sister -- who is allegedly an adult and most assuredly a Disney nut -- has audio recordings of all the Disneyland rides on her iPod. Sometimes when she's going to sleep, she'll play the rides out loud and pretend she's going on them. Super weird! That’s ador(k)able! Love it!

I cut off my long shoulder-length hair into an asymmetrical bob that seemed like a good idea at the time. I also wore brightly coloured polo-styled shirts with the collar up. And I thought I was very grown-up because I also wore high-heels. High heels to junior highschool?! Yep. Dork-city. Thanks for this post. And the memories!
