Re: The Friday Five
1. Chocolate chip cookies
2. Lots - but I would say summertime by Sublime. We used to always listen to it by my friend's pool.
3. Chicken nuggets. Mmmm, chicken nugget day!
4. Summer. The beach, camping, ice cream, fried seafood.
5. Working at a camp for special needs kids through high school and college. It was awesome. We did a lot of great activities from the beach to the science museum.
1. Cool Water cologne
2. *N SYNC's Tearin' Up My Heart
3. Winterfresh gum or Big Red
4. Summer
5. Anything that happened in the summer of 2001. As angsty of a teen I may have been, I don't ever remember myself being happier than that summer.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory?
Gap used to have a perfume called "Sweet Musk." I still have a rollerball with a little bit of it. My friends and I used to be obsessed with it in middle school, so it reminds me of my pre-teen summers, which were the best.
2.) What song makes you nostalgic?
Ahhh! So many! I guess the two most prominent would be Green Day's Good Riddance and Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. They both remind me of very specific nights.
3.) What taste reminds you of school?
Uhh...I can't really think of anything for this.
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past?
Summer
5.) Which memory do you treasure?
Middle school. It was the most stable time in my life, things seemed so easy, and I didn't have social anxiety so I had a lot of friends. Life was good in middle school, lol.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory?
Pineapple- it reminds me of going to Hawaii in college with friends. We spent a ridiculous day at the Dole plantation and it was super fun. Also, we drank a lot of pineapple rum on the beach.
2.) What song makes you nostalgic?
Alanis Morisettte's "Ironic". It reminds me a funny, happy times with my mom.
3.) What taste reminds you of school?
Those weird baked french fries. You can't really buy them anywhere else, but every once in a great while you get them at a restaurant, they're very distinct.
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past?
Summer
5.) Which memory do you treasure?
The summer I spent on the East Coast with my uncle and my cousin. We just ran around RI during the day and went amazing places every single weekend (NYC, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Maine).
Stand up for something you believe in.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory? My mom's cooking, or weather smells, like spring/summer/autumn air.
2.) What song makes you nostalgic? Remix to Ignition from R. Kelly. My bf and I were just talking about how we were younger working at Express jamming to this song after our late shift. Good times.
3.) What taste reminds you of school? Microwave pizza? They served pizza at my school and it wasn't very good.
4.) What season makes you remember the most things in your past? Summer. We spent a month during summer with our dad. Then we'd get back to SD and hang out. It was always fun.
5.) Which memory do you treasure? Watching movies with my mom at the theater. Making up games with my sister, then growing up with her, and her having a baby. My dad playing the piano.

1.) What smell brings you a fond memory? i can't quite describe it, but it's a mixture of cleaning supplies and dust, probably. It reminds me of my freshman year dorm in high school. Also some undefinable smell combined with a breeze at the beach
2.) What song makes you nostalgic? I have a cd of 1500s music that I bought on a high school trip to London, that later became my stereo alarm clock music for almost all of my sophomore year in college. The whole cd reminds me of the trip, and the first song reminds me of every morning for about 2/3s of my sophomore year in college, when I was very happy. My roommate also hated that song so that's kind of a funny memory.
3.) What taste reminds you of school? probably carrot cake, my high school served delicious carrot cake and they had it often!
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past? fall, I was always excited to start school
5.) Which memory do you treasure? the moments after Clint proposed, I wish I could relive them.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory? Bounce dryer sheets (weird, I know)
2.) What song makes you nostalgic? The Beastie Boys' album "Paul's Boutique". The whole album reminds me of such great times with my friends in HS.
3.) What taste reminds you of school? I have no clue.
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past? Summer!
5.) Which memory do you treasure? Summers spent with my cousins. The 3 of us always found fun things to do. I had so much more freedom when I was with them.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory? Coppertone sunscreen
2.) What song makes you nostalgic? Anything by Frank Sinatra. Reminds me of my parents dancing around the livingroom.
3.) What taste reminds you of school? Fruit punch. They had milk and fruit punch dispensers. Yuck.
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past? Fall. Starting school was always a seminal time, and two of the biggest events in my life happened in recent fall seasons: my mom passed away and I got married.
5.) Which memory do you treasure? Playing with my sister on a man-made see-saw in our backyard, singing songs on a warm June night, school just out for the year. Or just any dinner that my mom made.
1.) What smell brings you a fond memory?
I forget the name of the flower (might be hyacinth) but it's a flower that they always sell around churches in Philippines. I love the way it smells.
2.) What song makes you nostalgic?
Hmm, this is a tough one. Probably Greenday's "Good Riddance", when I heard it my senior year of high school I really loved it, and when I hear it now, I remember my friends from high school and wished we hadn't grown apart.
3.) What taste reminds you of school?
I don't think there is anything...
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past?
Probably fall since that's the beginning of school.
5.) Which memory do you treasure?
I loved elementary school, back before everyone grew apart and formed cliques in middle school. Those were also my most social period before I wasn't really allowed to hang out and sleep over at friends.

2.) What song makes you nostalgic? Breakfast at Tiffany's
3.) What taste reminds you of school? tater tots
4.) Which season makes you remember the most things in your past? Summer
5.) Which memory do you treasure? When my group of friends from high school used to spend every weekend together at someone's house playing video games and watching movies. Those were the quality times when I appreciated having like-minded friends.
