1. Because most of the blog posts would have been titled, “Why Didn’t He Call?” And the other ones would have been titled, “I Didn’t Even Like Him But Seriously Why Didn’t He Call?
2. I would have written a post about my two friends who got these cell phones and what a waste of money because who needs to carry a phone with them?! That is so stupid and unnecessary.
3. There would have been no posts on potty training or play dates and that would have been a terrible void in your lives.
4. You would have had to read my deep analysis and commentary on Doogie Howser, M.D., Beverly Hills 90210 and Friends.
5. There would have been an entire year of incredibly boring posts complaining about the weather when I lived in Montana. Clearly, it’s impossible to suffer silently when it’s minus 30. On the upside, I would have taught you a lot about irrigated farming techniques.
6. I would have made you refer to me by my Spice Girl name Cheeky Spice.
7. I would have recruited you for my save Party of Five campaign. I started a Washington DC lobbying group to save that show. You’re welcome.
8. If you didn’t love the Hanson brothers (the band) or think Jared Leto was supremely the hottest in the land then you were dead to me.
9. I would have posted a plethora of pictures of myself in stirrup pants and really over sized shirts.
10. Because this blog would have been called The Single Diaries and you would have suffered through my endless twenty something angst about how I was never going to meet the one, get married and have a family because I was single and turning THIRTY which as everyone knows is the end of life.
Spoiler alert: I met the one, got married and have a family. And apparently, I survived turning thirty.

Oh… those shorts…
What was up with all the oversized shirts?? I don’t understand what size we were buying…in old photos they look like 4XL!
Oh, Party of Five. I still don’t know how we are surviving today without Neve Campbell’s over acting to push us on.

I would still like a deep analysis and commentary on Beverly Hills 90210 and Friends, please.
Gee, thanks for the spoiler alert. (Love your 20s hair!)
I’m still waiting for him to call. Damn him.
I can think of some good reasons you didn’t blog in our early 20s…
You’re right. What we need are longer, belted shorts and no cell phones!
Great picture! So glad we are all past that hair style and long shorts look but oh did we think we looked good or what??
I watched the entire first season of Girls yesterday as I lay in bed with a cold/flu thing. It gave me a glimpse into what blog in our 20’s might have been like. SO grateful not to be there anymore! I’ll take 44 over 24 any day of the week. Now 34…
I loved the Hanson brothers
Mmmmm Bop! I would have met you in DC for the Five Girl March in support of Party of Five. But not if were going to wear those shorts.
I would have been in my 20’s too, so I would have TOTALLY thought your blog was awesome!
Can our next blog hop be “Why Didn’t He Call Back?” xo
I really miss stirrup pants and big shirts. And did you turn those shirts into curtains? Hilarious.
I would have helped you co-chair the Save Party of Five effort. In fact I still would. p.s. I don’t think your shorts were big enough.
Do you remember that show with the two brothers who were pilots for some little airport in Massachusetts or something? That picture of you looks just like the chick who played the love interest.
(Googles it)
Wings! Helen Bernard!
Culottes! You’re wearing culottes! At least, that’s what we called them in the 70’s. A little longer, and they would have been called gauchos. And worn with Frye boots…
This is such a fun blog hop to read! I would have asked you where you got those cool shorts. đŸ˜‰
I would have linked to your why didn’t he call piece because I totally didn’t like him but am wondering why he didn’t call? Probably…he did call, but we were too busy watching Party of 5 to answer.
I think you’ve succeeded in having that Party of Five đŸ™‚ Well, you’ll have in a few months đŸ™‚
I didn’t have the why didn’t he call thing in my early 20’s and that’s because I never met him in the first place so maybe I could have blogged about my friends telling me how he never called and he was jerk anyway. Then when I did meet him he couldn’t afford a regular phone, let alone a cell phone that was the size of a brick, so he still didn’t call. I didn’t own or watch a TV…. gee, what the heck did I do in my 20’s?! I dunno but it would have been a hellava blog. Or not.
I can kick your ass in a stirrup pants oversized shirt contest any day of the week sistah!
OMG, Party of Five! Actually, I think we would have been fast friends in our 20’s based on our TV show preferences.
Great list.
Unfortunately 20 something’s today are still blogging about TV, guys calling and what they’re wearing. They’ve expended to what they ate. Why do 20-somethings think they rule the world again?

We would have had to censor some of your posts if you were blogging during college. Who did you cut out of the picture (it looks like Jennie or me. . .). xo
