Is that a smile on your lips???
University (My DOB 1982)
1. I've heard both songs, and I LIKE Billy Joel. :D
2. Didn't know that, but now I do!
3. Same as #2. They were still advertising "2 records and 2 cassettes" on TV for music collections.
4. Yup!
5. I saw Saturday Night Fever.
6. Nope, I watched both TV shows when I was little. With my Dad.
7. Yes I can, those were technologically advanced back then! I used to know how to use DOS too! But um, not anymore. :oops:
8. Yes I did, and I hated it because I was horrid at it.
9. Yes I can, and no I can't. When my parents were young, they didn't HAVE TVs yet (seriously.) and when they got them, they were B&W. We didn't get a TV with remote control until High Schoo.
10. I can, because I didn't take mine to school with me until my 3rd year of college. I did not walk from class to class with it. However, when not in class I kept it with me in case someone needed to get ahold of me. It also saved on long-distance calling if I needed to call home.
Getting old?
1. hahah, yes!
2. That's true. I used to be able to stay up all night in high school. Now it's like "Sleeep...neeeeeed..."
3. They are! Or they're having children.
4. I am. Me + Technology = ??? :shock:
5. I do. When I was at community college, people would get out of class and immediately get on their phone. Every student did this! I thought it was stupid. I still think it's stupid. It's like...who the heck are they calling???
6. Umm...well, when I get out of grad school I'll let you know.
7. I hate calling people.
8. That's true. Sadly true.
9. Umm...should I
