I MISS YOU GUYS!

Remember in the 90s? When we watched television shows, at home, while we did our homework? When we had the time to envelop our interests in to the recurring dramas of California teenagers, as if they were the most important ongoing issues in our life? That's back when High School was Cool, and when just saying cool made us feel cool. What does it mean that from the time we start choosing for ourselves, how to spend our time, we have made conscious decisions to involve ourselves in fiction? The lives of television characters have taught us how one vision directs - overrides - pursuades the next generation of visions. I sure wish I were having a burger at the Peach Pit after a day of classes and surfing. I'd like to have a reunion with all of them, except for the one played by Tiffani Amber Thiessen. And I would make sure that Brenda came back from Minnesota or wherever she went, and TRY not to talk to the retarded one. And the one that got pregnant with Steve's baby, when she was in med school, and who works exclusively for Lifetime™ now. She could just stay home and take care of the kid. She was the shows, 'homewrecker' of sorts: having to deal with more mature issues, like pregnancy, was a huge step from dealing with Tori Spelling's learning disabilities, or even Luke Perry's, and later David's drug addictions. The girl was shorter than the original characters, not as fun and clearly not as savvy, for getting knocked up in the first place. Oh well.
