i love this.
its so spring.
i do like spring,
i know a lot of people don't though
cos of allergies and things
but i still like summer the best.

i'm start a series of posts
about funny things that happened in the past
just reflecting on stuff
that used to really matter and just hilarious when you looked back at them
public/worldly things
like my first one
Y2K
its absolutely hilarious when you look back on it
lots of people had like panic attacks just cos they though the world was going to end since it was a new millenium
and everyone thought that the Y2K virus was going to affect everyone
because they thought the computers wouldn't be able to handle it and crash back to 1900
and we'd reverse back to ice age or something
lol

i can't remember exactly
but i seriously do remember some people freaking out
most were just like 'meh'
but there was a bit of a frenzy over it

i was 9 at that time
& i remember my mum thought there was going to be any electricity or gas
and she said something about putting water into a black garbage bag and putting it out in the sun to get hot water
but other than that she didn't really mention it much

but there was quit a lot of media frenzy over it
kinda like how this year they talked about bush fires every day during summer (in victoria, anyway)
they talked about Y2K everyday in the days leading up to it
haha
and i do remember people freaking out and stockpiling food and stuff.

and then when the new millenium came
everyone was let down cos nothing happened
the Y2K thing was like the best scam ever.
cos it was GLOBAL.
hilarious
all that happened was that the computers actually went to 2000

silly humans.
