earlier i was talking to a friend about how leonardo dicaprio used to be fine as hell in 1996 around the time he was in that baz luhrmann version of romeo and juliet. then we talked about wearing denim skorts and having braces. i don't know i got thinking about all that; it was sort of organic, really. i get the strangest feeling thinking about being 12 again. i thought i hated it at the time but now i would give anything to spend a summer at home watching mtv spring break all day, eating brownies and listening to cds on my 5-disc player boombox. oh, and chatting on mIRC.

anyway, this video sort of embodies my 90s childhood.
