Flashback- Livejournal circa 2000

It's time to indulge in a bit of nostalgia.  I've been avoiding the '25 Things' meme like the plague.  The 'Put your iTunes on shuffle' one seems silly to me.  This one was posted on Facebook by my friend Nicole.  It was nice to finally see a silly internet meme that seemed worth doing.  

I remember back in the 'Age of Livejournal'  doing these things all the time.  Filling out question after question of where you'd kissed someone- in a car, in a bar, in the rain, on a train- it was very Seuss-ian; or the seemingly never-ending list of favorites- book, movie, color, time of day, ice cream flavor, ad infinitum.  Then there were all the quizzes you'd take somewhere else and post the results on LJ.  It was all juvenile and silly, but it made sense at an age where we were supposed to be figuring out just who we were.  I mean, it's self-reflection of the shallowest form, but reflection nonetheless. 

(Really the last two paragraphs are just a good excuse to post an internet meme I really wanted to do.)
