Lizzie Mcguire is the babest babe

Dear Shakespeare,
I have exams for school in a few days. Big scary exams which go on report cards and cause me such stress. Except I'm not actually stressing, I'm worryingly apathetic. I hope it changes soon because caring about nothing much doesn't really feel nice. I want to feel obsessed, I want to build shrines to ideas and people and things, but I can't because it feels all wrong, it feels flawed and blind.
Tavi's  awesome shrine
I've been seeing a lot of 90's reminiscing online recently, sometimes it can feel like the 90's was the coolest time to have been alive, and yes I was  around  for the last two or so years but I don't really remember any of it. I can only really appreciate the decade now that I'm older through watching movies like clueless and 10 things I hate about you and listening to bands like Nirvana. But I do remember the 2000's, they were a weird time, it was like the 90's younger sister, the fashion was similar, the toys and games were similar and t.v shows were similar but the 2000's had something that the 90's can never ever ever claim... LIZZIE MCGUIRE.

Yeah that's right Lizzie is from 2001 (sassily snaps fingers in a 'z' formation) Lizzie was probably one of my best friends as a kid, actually she was the older sister I always wanted. Actually dang it I wanted to be Lizzie. Yes she may not have been as cool as Kate but Lizzie was a real teen and all I wanted when I was a kid was to be a part of the teenzz club. I figure the show gave me a really skewed perception of what adolescence would be like in a way that only Disney channel shows can. I am now a teen and I do not have a Gordo and Miranda, where is my Ethan? Why are my clothes not as cool as Lizzie's? Most importantly where is my snarky little cartoon alter ego? Obviously I have failed at being a teenager. No, but seriously Lizzie McGuire understands me far more than my peers and this is obviously due to the spiritual bond we share from the countless years of me watching episode after episode of her navigating through all her teenage troubles. Also Lizzie's fashion is ace, I could go on and on about the awesomeness of her clothes but let's just look at some pictures and feel all nostalgic:



Lizzie feelz me

Truly Mary,
Ps. We were totes listening to this in 2000 cos Destiny's child is the coolest

  1. Lizzie McGuire was the best. In fact, Hilary Duff is the best, like seriously, has anyone ever even mentioned how gracefully she aged and managed to get married, have kids and mature without some sort of ridiculous scandal?!

    I've been reminiscing a lot about msn messenger, which I guess links to this because I was also obsessively watching Lizzie McGuire every night on ABC rollercoaster in between chatting to my friends on dial up.

    1. Ahh yes I agree! Her transition was as graceful as Emma Watson's has been.

      Ahhh msn, all my friends had msn when I was in grade 3 and it was the coolest thing to have and everyone had "deep" talks on msn messenger and got asked out by guys. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to get msn so I feel like I missed out on an essential part of tweenagedom :( Everyone would come to school and talk about msn and it made me feel really uncool and weird for not having it. Urghhh.
