Congratulations on being the recipient of my first-ever pocket award. I'm not sure what I even sent you. All I know is that my phone made a weird buzz as I was putting it away and a purple thing popped on my screen.

For those who did modern dance/hip-hop competitively and/or professionally when you were younger, how are your joints?

Eff those. They did a trial run in my town a few years ago, and the scooters were left everywhere. Eyesore.

Marrying and/or birthing someone with opposite tastes is always a win. I breathe easy knowing no one in my house will touch my cheese. Because you know how much it sucks when you find out there's no cheese during a 2am refrigerator raid?

I was in a dark theater and opened my Skittles, not knowing about the switcheroo. When the green apple hit my mouth, I said, "WTF?" in shock. People shushed me.

Paul McCartney is only theee degrees of separation from Napoloeon, who was born in the 18th century. He met 95-year-old Betrand Russell, who was raised by his grandfather, Lord John Russell, who visited an exiled Napoleon on Elba.

I have my copy stored safely away until I can transfer to DVD. Never understood why Disney didn't release those era movies (including Chips the War Dog and Goodbye Miss Fourth of July) onto DVD or streaming.

I think it's just as Xennial as X. To me, it represents a time when our microgeneration was really becoming aware of the crazy world outside our front door.

I had a Discman, but not many people had burners. The one girl in my class who had one made bank by burning CDs for folks. It took a few years, but prices dropped enough by the early naughts that it was standard in new computers.

Someone pointed out it was likely my sophomore year due to a few inclusions. Most of the music in the mix came out when I was a freshman so I connected it to that year.

Thank U was 98, but you're right, this was probably given to me sophomore year then. A lot of these songs are connected to my freshman year, and that's why I thought it might have been then.

Did you have MTVu in 1998? Started college in 2001 and it was played 24/7 in the student center and cafeteria. Same songs on constant rotation. Waynr Wonder, U2, All-American Rejects, and Outkast will always take me back to subpar dinner.

It all depended on your school district. I lived on Long Island, where districts mostly have a cut-off of December 1 or December 31 to be in certain grades. Since I was born after the 1st, I entered as Class of 2001, even though someone just two weeks older than me was in the Class of 2000.

I was born in December, so I was a freshman '97-'98. So this must have been Christmas 1997 and not 1998.

We were 14/15. Most of the kids I knew then were listening to Top 40 until Napster, cheaper CDs, and the ability to go to shows by yourself allowed you to more easily discover other artists and develop a particular music taste. Until then, we were either listening to Top 40 or our parents' music.
