You Know You're From 2016 When...

Here are a few things I have noticed are popular this year:

In 2016, you see the word "Hello..." 

and the next thing you think is:

 "...from the other siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide..."

If I'm walking through the store, and I hear

the song, I think: "I know this song..." and I

silently sing along in my mind because I never
know the songs in the store but here's one I definitely know 

for whatever reason so I shall sing my heart out... in my head.

In 2016, you know all about the new Captain America: Civil War movie.

Even if you are NOT a Marvel fan. 

You don't even follow any superhero boards on Pinterest, 

yet somehow you manage to get Civil War pins on your feed.

Fun story: so my mom likes Civil War history (like, the 1850s kind), so we were 

driving past a movie theater and the sign said "Civil War" 

on the movie list but it didn't say the

"Captain America" part, so she thought it 

was about the actual Civil War and she said,

 "Hm. I wonder wonder what that 'Civil War' movie is about?"

And I'm like,

 "Mom........mom.... that's a 'Captain America' movie, mom......." 

And she's like "Oh..........."

 p.s. bonus: you have no idea who Bucky is, 

but you hear about him ALL THE TIME.

Except no...

In 2016, everywhere you go (at least in the US), and I mean everywhere you go,

there are stuffed blue tang fishes and stuffed clown fishes 

and stuffed shark fishes (shark fishes... did I really just say 'shark fishes'...)

 and fish gummies, and clown fish Pez dispensers

and ocean blue T-shirts because:

Finding Dory, everybody.

You all remember Finding Nemo coming out, and now, 

thirteen years later, they got another one.

Seriously though, it's making feel old. 

And I'm too young to feel old.

Stop it, Pixar. 

Yaaaayyyy can't waaaaaiiiiit!!!

In 2016, there is this thing called BOHO, my friends, and 

America decided this Spring that BOHO is the fashion 

so every fashion store you go to,

and even in the craft stores everything's like

"Stay in style with our trendy Boho jewelry... or clothes.... or papercrafts... or whatever."

Because BOHO is definitely the style this year.

As far as my opinion goes, I sort of have a love/hate relationship

with the Bohemian style. Some of it's 'ok', but  

I don't absolutely LOVE the hippy-ish, bum-ish, 'carefree' look. 

I don't know. *shrug* What do you guys think of it?

In 2016: STAR WAAAAAARRRRRS STAR WARS
STAR WARS STAR WARS
STAR WARS
STAR WARS
 STAR WARRRRRRSSSS EVERYWHERRREEEE.
The movie itself came out in 2015 but still in '16 Star Wars is all the rage.
I have never seen any of the Star Wars in all my life, can you believe that?
I still know everything about it (and probably all of the twists,
I'm pretty sure...), like all the characters and
plots because I hear about it everywhere.
It's not like I'm not allowed to watch it,
I've just never been a fan of Sci-fi stuff,
so I never got around to seeing it. Still haven't.
Perhaps I don't have a good reason to watch it.
Give me a good reason to watch Star Wars,
and maybe I will. ;)

In 2016: There is now such a thing as 'adult' coloring books/magazines.
I'm pretty sure they came out last year, but they are pretty popular this year.
I have a few of my own actually.
I put off buying any because I don't usually get into 'fads' like that.
Fads fade away eventually, and then
they leave everyone with all the stuff they bought
and wondering why did they spent all their money on something
that wasn't going to last...
But hey.
I only live once!
Here are the two that I got:

Some of the coloring books out there are WAY to intricate for me to enjoy.
These two that I have are intricate enough. I'm pretty sure they'll last
me ten years together because it takes so long to complete one page.
I've heard actual 'adults' say that they
didn't like the 'adult coloring books' because
they were too detailed.
I think they are fun to color, though.

I was sort of trying to make it look like this dress.

Well, that's all I had to show you! What else defines '2016' for you? What sort of fads are you enjoying? I'd like to know!
Oh, and one more update!
I got some pets for myself. :) I had hamsters before when I was 12, and they lived until
I was 16. I've been missing those old hamsters lately, so I got
me some new ones. :)
My mom says that an 18-year-old with a paycheck is a
dangerous thing. She is so right!

I'm not going to tell you their names. I'm sure you'll laugh if I do. :)
Bye!
