Everyone has a cellphone.
LOL Sarah Palin (Future: WTF happened to that chick who ran for republican VP that time...didn't she have that pregnant daughter that she lied about and stuff?...yeah I think so!)
You were there that week in June '09 when celebrity deaths kept happening, coincidentally. RIP Michael Jackson, Farrah Faucet, and Billy Mays.
You were SO mad when Pluto wasn't a planet anymore.
You remember when the gas was $1.50 a gallon, then when it was $4.00 a gallon, then when it was $1.50 again.
Before swine flu, there was something called mad cow disease and the avian flu back in the early '00s. Because of that, you couldn't eat beef or chicken for weeks.
You remember the VA Tech shootings and heightened school security.
SWINE FLU!!!!!
You might have heard Michael Jackson's music from the past, but not once in your youth can you recall him performing. You can, however, list a few lawsuits involving this very famous man.

You also remember when the theme "vampires" did not imply the theme "glitter-sexy" in literature.
Everyone you know understands the basics of 1337.
You remember the "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Superbowl.
"Can you play guitar?" You ask.
"Oh my GOD! I LOVE Guitar Hero!!" Someone answers.
You've been in a lecture where 5 people are texting, 3 people are on computers or something on the internet, and most people are listening to an iPod.
People worry that their relationships will or will not become "Facebook official".
You remember when some idiot took a shitty form of a boot, stuffed it with sheep wool, and somehow its acceptable to wear those with miniskirts in the middle of summer.
You regularly say "Ownd!" or "Fail!"
You wonder how a clothing store could possibly sell a shirt for $50 (Hollister/American Eagle/Abercrombie/Aeropostale) when all it does is advertise their store in big letters.
You've found your parents unable to figure out how to use your phone.

moreResolved Question: engagement ring...?
I want to propose to my GF... but do I need a DIAMOND ring? why can;t it be just gold? It's not the money, it's just the message it sends. I wan't her to like me for me, not because I can buy her jewelry. A marriage should be based on trust and love, not on stuff i buy her. The ring symbolizes a lot of things, but marriage symbolizes everything between 2 people and I just don't think a diamond is necessary. Besides, diamond rings for engagements only started maybe 50 years ago by the diamond company Debeers. Wikipedia says:
"The diamond engagement ring did not become the standard it is considered today until after an extensive marketing campaign by De Beers in the middle of the 20th century, which came to include one of the most famous advertising slogans of the 20th century: “A Diamond is Forever”... look it up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engagement_ring
I think a $50 gold ring for each of us would be fine. What do you think?Wow, you can really tell a lot about a person by their answer to this question.
