I was a junior/senior in high school in 1998. What do I remember? Being glad that I was done taking chemistry in school, playing powder-puff football and collapsing on the field with severe cramps in both my calves, and 1998 was also the year I almost lost my dad in a nasty car accident.
I had a massive crush on my chemistry teacher back then, but he never knew it. I was pretty good at keeping it to myself. He also became a good friend of mine and I used to hang out in his chemistry room during my morning breakfasts and my lunches, all the while listening to music on his homemade radio. I remember that odd smell combination of chemicals, coffee and the cologne that he used to wear. Sigh.......
If I recall, the first Playstation was very popular, although I never had one.
Our local college football team; the normally sucky Idaho Vandals, actually had a big year in 1998. They beat our state-line rivals, the Washington State Cougars for the first time in ages and won the Humanitarian Bowl. It was soooo sweet!!
Songs that played on the radio in my art class etc. included "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray, "Iris" by The Goo Goo Dolls, " "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz, "I Want It That Way" by The Backstreet Boys, "You Make Me Wanna..." by Usher, "Maria" by Blondie and "Believe" by Cher just to name a few.
Some of my favorite movies of 1998 include "Patch Adams," "Mercury Rising," "Saving Private Ryan," "Simon Birch," "Rush Hour," "Hard Rain" and "The Apt Pupil."
Hmmmmm.....having to clear cobwebs here.
