Man you feel really old when you have a conversation with a 15 year old and how things change over time....
STI's were STD's
NCEA was School Cert
Emo was short for emotion, not a style of music
Music TV presenters were cool, not complete jerks
Truebliss was cool
Cellphones had just become affordable
Birthday presents were a surprise!

Children were safe in the Wairarapa
Cigarettes were SO MUCH cheaper
Cheap and effective alchohol could be bought for ten dollars!
There were always kind strangers to buy these smokes and drinks for you
You could buy clothes that fitted
If you hooked up with something, it meant KISSING them
The internet was for porn and research, not for making friends
A "playstation" was what is now called a playpen
Ball games were safetly played on the road, not on a field
Benefits were things we recieved for being good, not our main source of income
and finnally
My dream of being a writer seemed an ACHIEVABLE goal
it makes me feel really really old... :(
