What were you doing in 2001?I was a freshman with bangs, light wash denim and an aversion to beer (I preferred Smirnoff Ice). I had a desk top that was connected to the Ethernet by a long cord that went from under my desk, around the perimeter of my room, up the wall and into a jack under my roommate’s bed.
And I had no freaking clue what Google was.
A lot has changed since 2001 in my life (I got wireless and some dark wash jeans), and in the world. It is hard to realize how different everything is unless you have the ability to go back and look. And thanks to the boys at Google, you can. Those guys saved the entire Google index from ‘01, which means you can travel back in time and Google like it’s 2001.
Isn’t that a Prince song?
Anyways, if you have a break between classes….or are completely bored during class, try Googling your name. Or the World Trade Center. Or Britney Spears.
It is sorta freaking me out.

Sorry to say though searching Miley Cyrus was successful.

From a transcript from some past mullet fest…
“Deborah: Have y’all been introduced to Miley Cyrus, yet?
(Loud clapping and cheering.)
Deborah: Talk about the stars of tomorrow”
Apparently it was that Deborah chick who jinxed the world.

If I know one thing it’s that girls who only shop at Victoria’s Secret for the bras/panties/sexy lingerie are really missing out. That Vicki has a lot more to offer than lacy underthings that make your boobs look huge; Victoria’s Secret is also an awesome place to stock up on clothes, shoes and beauty products. They even have jeans that give your butt some lift!
