I am beta testing a new HRO gimmick where I find pieces of progressive media made by real tweens which inspire me to feel a little bit jeal of the fact that I didn’t have a Macbook when I was a tween. I can only look back and think about the person who I could have been with features and programs like iSight, iMovie, Photobooth, ComicLife, Adobe Photoshop, and even Safari.
If only my parents had waited _ more years 2 have me, then I would have had the tools to express myself at an earlier age, enabling me to take 6.5 years off my quest for meaning.

want 2 relive my tweenhood s00 bad
want 2 have modern tools of expression that r built for even the youngest ppl on Earth.

Do u want 2 relive ur tweenolescence?
Would a 2nd chance at tweenhood make u more authentic 2day?
Do u have ‘regretz’?

Girls have always done crap stuff like this. It’s just better produced with a macbook. I remember some girls at my middle school doing a rhyme about sweets. But then what are ths boys doing? Wanking and setting fire to things.
