And apparently, it was full of neon. At least, according to today’s style, it was. I remember corduroy and plastic hair clips. I did have some teal and yellow high tops and Transformer velcro shoes. We had a trampoline and they hadn’t invented the covers for the springs yet (or at least, we didn’t have any) and a visiting kid did land face first into the springs and a rusty hook did cut her face and she had to get three stitches. Because it was the eighties.
I may have laughed but I also have a new rule. No quoting Bluey.
People hand out ribbons that you can stick to your badge. They’ll have inside jokes themed around geek culture. The two grannies had “Nice parking spot, Rita!” and “I slipped on mah beans!” I think later someone gave me a ribbon that was just Mackenzie staring off. I’m always struck by the episode where he’s trying to be left behind because he’s dealing with trauma and anxiety. That show does not fuck around.
The hookups that we REALLY want!

I have been tempted to follow some cars that have Totoro and LOTR bumper stickers. “I wanna be friends!”
