Everyone loves to romanticize the 90s, But here are 10 things about the decade that hardcore sucked*

1. I had no boy cousins growing up. So the 90s was mostly my mom, my aunts, my sisters, my grandmas, my girl cousins and me.
2. My first CD was a CD single of Duncan Sheik's 'Barely Breathing'. It didn't have a jewel case. It was just cardboard and a cheap plastic insert holding the CD.

3. Walking out of the theater after watching 'Lost in Space' was when I first realized that a movie could suck.
4. I was terrified of our next door neighbor. He was just a really strange and unpredictable guy. My parents thought this was funny. When I got older they explained to me that he was just a pothead.
5. The first episode of SNL I watched live (after sneaking downstairs at night) was when Pamela Anderson hosted and took her clothes off during her monologue.

6. I tried reading "The Hobbit" in 5th grade but misread the opening line as, "Hobbits live in dirty holes," and thought, that's fucking gross, I'm not reading this book.
7. In 2nd grade, during arts and crafts, a bully squeezed half a tube of hot glue on my hand. The pain was so intense I passed out. When I woke up I was in my parent's bed. My dad rented me videos to make me feel better. Frankenstein and Dracula!
8. Speaking of my dad, one time at the gas station, he let me pump the gas and I pulled the nozzle out and doused myself in gasoline. He rushed me home to wash the gasoline off. I remember it burned a lot and made me cough. My mom was really mad.

9. My friend Blake invited everyone but me to his 1oth birthday. They went to the fucking monster truck rally. All week long they talked about how awesome it was. Gravedigger! Bigfoot! I just sat at the lunch table with them and felt alone.
10. The 'Paranoid Android' music video deeply disturbed me when I first saw it. But Celebrity Deathmatch didn't.
