I often wish I had a time machine, I'd go back to 1994 when I was 12. I was so happy then.

[VampyreofTimeandMemory]

I wasn't quite a teen in the 90s but also remember Sabrina the Teenage Witch and it was reeeally cool.

I was a teenager in the 90s. I wore plaid shirts over jeans or enormous jumpers over tiny lycra skirts and thick tights with biker boots.

I listened to Bon Jovi, Thunder, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Josh Wink, Oasis... I had posters of them on my wall. There was no email or mobile phones, and I used to speak to my parents once a week (I was at uni).

I drank snakebite and black, Blastaways and Thunderbird, and burned joss sticks.

God, I miss those days.
