Hey out there...Happy New Year! I was rummaging around my files looking for rough draft posts that I could whip out real quick and I came across this scan of "Deanna's favorites" from 1990 (age 13). Before I look to the new year, I thought it would be kind of fun to look back at the Deanna from 18 years ago and see what's changed and what's stayed the same.
I can say that many things have stayed the same about me, which is sort of strange and cool. Some things are not relevant any more...like I don't have a favorite class or lunch. Ms. Sbelgio (hey Jr. Historians!) will always be the coolest teacher I ever had. Vanessa is still a very close and dear friend. Depeche Mode is not my favorite band, but I remember writing this after the Violator album came out. I was in 8th grade and this album introduced me to New Wave music. I was hooked. And if you know me well, you know I'm still totally in to french fries and cats (but, not together). I have to laugh about the 90210 and Steel Magnolia's reference, although, they are classics.
I believe that we are really our truest selves as young adults...a lot changes, but a lot stays the same. There's so much past in my present...

When I ditched rap music at 18 or 19 and was looking to see what rock music was all about the first tape I bought was Depeche Mode's Violator because of hearing it so much when I was growing up. Who would have known the impact it would have had on me hearing it blasted from the room?!
