We are the best tennis players ever!!!!
Saturday, May 20, 2006 // 6:01 PM
So today Meredith, Jordan, Shannon, and I played tennis for like an hour and a half. It was probably the best time I have had in a longggggg time. It was hilarious to watch a bunch of rookie tennis players act like we were hot stuff. Not only that, but we made it look good too! Now I just got done eating dinner and I'm thinking about maybe hitting up baristas and perhaps catching Over The Hedge in theaters. It looks like a really funny movie so I really really really want to see it. I'm such a cartoon junkie. Can't help it though, I grew up in the 90s. I just read this thing on myspace about being a 90s kid. Anybody under the age of 14 should not read this. Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the nineties just wont cut it. Here it is.You're a 90's kid if:
