One thing I really miss from my teens / early 20s is actually having to go on the computer to get online - getting home from school / work, logging in to MSN to chat with friends or pissing about on the internet for a few hours and then you'd log off and do something else afterwards. Now we're literally always 'online' and use our phones for everything - I definitely have a bit of a phone addiction at this point and I don't like it!

On another note, who else was obsessed with The Hills?? I feel like it was so influential at the time, Lauren Conrad was the reason I started doing winged eyeliner and I still do it nearly every day 😂 I'd also do my hair with 2 pieces twisted back like she did haha! Oh and I convinced myself that one day I'd move to LA because they made it look like such a cool place to be!

MSN is the only reason I can type fast! Running home and logging on to the shared computer and just talking non sense for hours, the constant updates of statuses with emotional song lyrics 🤣

I just used to scam people out of furniture on Habbo Hotel with my sibling in a Real Hustle style swindle where people would bet furniture on a game of musical chairs but it was always fixed so my sibling would win 😭

And using dramatic emo song lyrics, the equivalent now of posting on Facebook that you are in hospital for attention 😅😅😅
All the drama of having to take a pic on a digital camera, upload that to your computer just to get a new profile pic. Using dial up and ya mam’s screaming at you for blocking the phone line. Those were the days!

I loved the days of msn messenger, and like person above I can type super fast because of it. Used to have a load of random chavs from England (I’m in Ireland) on mine and I’d be so in love with them with their profile pic of them in Burberry cap and Fred Perry jumpers. The bar was on the floor back then 🤣

When these guys landed I was just coming out of my teens, so I didn't really have a teen angst period with them

But I think they really scream the 2000s to me : Evanescence

I don't know what I was doing, but as always the YouTube algorithm got me and they came up in my feed.

People might sneer at the genre but I think this is an amazing song. I bet it meant so much to so many people in the 2000s

I did silly things in chat rooms too! The ones where you’d get asked if you had a webcam to go on MSN messenger. Jesus Christ I remember when I was 15 I wore a bikini bra in front of my webcam to a man who said he was 17 but his cam was broke. Told my parents I was showing my girlfriends my holiday gear. Fuck knows what old man perv was doing seeing me like that. But at the time I thought it was so cool a 17 year old lad was interested in me.

Very worrying really!

Jeeeez this has taken me right back! Anyone used to have an illegal underage account on faceparty? 😳😳😳 When I think back there were definite kiddy fiddler's prowling on there.

Another one I used when a bit younger was Habbo Hotel.

Anyone remember these bears, they were fuzzy but hard, on a keyring with a baby bottle, and they all smelt different. Like strawberry or vanilla or sweets or whatever. they were handheld, not big. They suddenly popped into my head the other day

I've never heard of Pasta King and now I feel like I need it in my life 😅
You could easily recreate it by filling a takeaway coffee cup or any other circular tub with watery pasta- it’s very important it’s watery to make it authentic and then add a thimble of sauce on top- if the sauce covers more than three bits of pasta you’ve added too much.
