[Kaido]

I just realized that...kinda weird :Q

 

[QED]

I just can't believe it's been that long...seems like yesterday the Internet was just coming along, high school was almost out...now it's 2008.

Still no flying cars

 

[Scouzer]

I had just got Cable internet in the last year... surfing away on my Celeron 433 powerhouse and 15" Daytek CRT.

 

[QED]

It does seem strange though to think about... but then when you realize that Monica Lewinsky was not yet a household name, very few people had ever heard of Osama bin Laden, and the Pittsburgh Pirates were actually decent it does seem like a long time ago...

People born when I was graduating HS will be able to vote next year.

Yea, I can't believe I graduated from HS 14 years ago! Last night I was driving and "Longview" by Green Day came on the radio. I started thinking, this frigging song came out 14 years ago! Where did the time go????

 

[krunchykrome]

It's crazy how time goes by soo quickly

 

[manowar821]

I had dial up and an N64, 7 of my friends lived on my street within a block of me, and we built a tree-house about the size of a small cabin. Fucking awesome year.

 

[insect9]

We had Goldeneye tournaments at a friend's house after school almost every day...How time flies.

Are you sure? Did they have to censor every other word?

I remember buying "Dookie"... oh that was such a fun album.

He only says "shit" and "fucking" in the song about 4 or 5 times, not that much to censor.

1998... omg I have only known my wife for 10 years?! Seems like 25.

 

[Saint Nick]

Hmm... in 1998, I was in 6th grade, playing Ocarina of Time.

Now I'm 21, have a year left of college and don't really know what I'll be doing after that.

Quite a difference :laugh:

 

[Aharami]

one more year it will be 10 yrs since I graduated high school! wow!

 

[RU482]

1998...gas was $0.88 that summer, got my first job, was doing some skydiving, no responsibilities other than rent and car payment. my how things have changed

 

[trmiv]

Yea 1998 I took three weeks off from work and spent one week visiting my sister in Phoenix, and then the next two weeks visiting a friend in New Zealand. I remember getting my passport that year thinking "wow, this is good for 10 years, it's going to be forever until I need a new one!" Well......it's now expired....

 

[Vehemence]

Online pr0n still had some magic to it, since I didn't have broadband until the 0s.

Loading an image took forever and I usually only had enough patience to get to a nipple.

 

[paulxcook]

In 1998 I was just starting high school.

 

[markgm]

I've been thinking about that a bit this past year, it's my 10 year high school reunion, I just can't believe I've been out of college longer than I was in it!

i'm getting old, thats when i graduated from high school.

 

[FeuerFrei]

1998 was my first full year living on my own. I was a noob working my first post-college job.
Also I got married that year and became a father.
It was a big year for me.

BTW, the guy above who mentioned 88¢/gal gas ... that has to be wrong, considering it was 98¢/gal back in spring 1993.
