What happened in 1989?

The year 1989 keeps coming up in conversation this week for some odd reason. It has me thinking about the ways our lives intertwine. In 89 I was a miserable eight year old girl. Maybe some of you were getting married, or divorced, or having babies, or losing loved ones, or baking cookies, or having sex, or...you get the point. Euro had a good phrase for this. I think it was perpetual connectedness. So what were you doing in 1989?

I was living in San Luis Obispo, going to Cal Poly. I was working as a DJ at the Reuben's in Morro Bay (although at the beginning of the year, I think it might have still been the last Hungry Tiger).

Nothing that I specifically remember.

It was the end of my freshman year and start of my sophomore year in high school. But I honestly remember no specific events.

Being born. woot.

I don't remember- I think I was having a good time, though. I was young, unmarried and finished with school. Yup, I was having fun.

That's the year I moved to Orlando and started working at the Fort Wilderness campground. Six months later, I transferred to The Great Movie Ride at The Disney-MGM Studios/Theme Park. (That "/Theme Park" was later removed from the name. I remember the Alladdin parade announcement, in which Iago would actually say "Disney MGM Studios Slash Theme Park" - come to think of it, there's probably a market for a slash theme park. Never mind.)

Hmmmm. Married. Working at the Arts Center. Living in Long Beach (next door to Strangler Lewis???). Gah, I don't remember.

1989... I was 11, living in the middle of nowhere, and wearing neon colored tie dye. Bright flowers, peace symbols and the like were making a fashion come-back... but with lots of neon.

I began my final year of elementary school. I don't remember much other than really liking my teacher and feeling very weird about the fact that I was finishing what I knew would be my longest tenure at any school (I was there for a full 7 years).
