I'll always be jealous of my parents, who were teens in the 80s and got to see movies like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "The Breakfast Club" in theaters. ah!
What is it about this decade that is so appealing to me? I have no idea, maybe it was the fact that the female main character in "Say Anything..." was named Diane Court, and my name is Court(ney) Diane. Or perhaps the time I lip synced to "Twist and Shout" on that parade float in downtown Seattle with hundreds of people cheering for me made me feel like Ferris Bueller. Oh wait that didn't happen (yet).
Whatever it is, I love it. I love how John Hughes could take an idea like detention or prom or skipping school and turn it into a major adventure that could be loved and related to by generation after generation.
It's just totally boss, so radical dude.

P.S. If you haven't seen the movie Better Off Dead, you absolutely have to. I don't even want to write on what it's about, it's something you need to watch with an open mind. Really, let me know if you haven't seen it and we'll watch it together. For reals. Here are some pics to get you excited for it:
P.P.S. I went to an 80s dance party the other day, thought this would be the right blog to post this picture in!
It makes me feel as tall as a giraffe
