Please remember Celine Dion's album Let's Talk About Love

This is the one that included everyone's favorite, "My Heart Will Go On." You know, the one with the black cover? I got it for Christmas the same year I got one of my Ariana books. You know, LDS author Rachel Ann Nunes? Anyway, all I can think of when I hear those songs is reading that book on my bed and being so into it and crying. Favorite songs: "Immortality" (featuring some of the Bee Gees), "The Reason," "To Love You More" (killer violin part), "Tell Him" (with Barbra Streisand), "Where Is the Love," "Miles to Go (Before I Sleep)," "Us"...oh, that's basically the whole album? I really need to find that CD.

Please remember that I got punched in the arm tonight for not updating this

Please remember TLC's "Unpretty"

"Unpretty" was the Billboard Hot 100 number one single in September 1999, preceded by Enrique's "Bailamos" and followed by Mariah's "Heartbreaker." As we can see, this was a great time for music. It was TLC's last number one single and the last video featuring all three members of the group. I listened to this song today for the first time in like eight years. I loved it then and I love it still. So empowering. You can buy all the makeup that MAC can make. I really do like what's going on here, and I remember thinking, yeah, why should I make myself think I'm not good enough? And then I remembered I was in high school.

On another TLC related note, one of my first memories of my new school when I moved in sixth grade was a classmate who loved TLC so much that she even had the T-Boz haircut. That girl really knew what it meant to combat unprettiness. We weren't really friends.

Please remember those milk mustache ads

You know, the celebrities with milk mustaches and arguments for why you should drink milk. I collected at least 30 of them and hung them on my closet door. I heard they got those mustaches using some sort of ice cream/milkshake concoction, but some prefer to believe it's Elmer's glue. Sorry, but I would never drink Elmer's glue no matter how famous I was.

Please remember Please Remember

I've been told I should apologize profusely for this hiatus. I apologize profusely.
