Let’s just name Rapinoe, the next head of USA Soccer and future FIFA President.

here to say i was pleasantly surprised to learn that my HS class valedictorian is an admin of Ravelry. and to say that, as she is a total badass doctor, mom, and person, i am equally not surprised.

I couldn’t be more proud to be a member of ravelry, so I made this.

100 points to your house for the Dead Kennedy’s inspired tagline of this article.

Purls of wisdom.

I keep reading this and LOLing. OMG. I was in my 20s when this season aired, and none of my friends watched that I know of, but I wish I had a friend to share this with like that. :D

Thanks for this Tracy! Great article. Now, you are charged with finding ALL of the rest of the cast from the first 4-5 seasons and conducting similar interviews. That should keep you busy and us happy for quite a while!

This made my 14 year old self so fucking incredibly happy. THIS IS THE REAL JOURNALISM I NEED. 

I forgot about his dick but I’ve seen Irene on the way to work a few times and all I can think about is that slap. It must be rough for her to have that association.

I remember that - he showed a couple of the women in the house and they were basically like “OH MY GOD IT’S HUGE.”

Oh man, that reminds me I saw Puck on the 30 Stockton in SF a little after that season.  He was gross.

Super weird that I was just thinking about him and that fucking car scene with Kira a couple nights ago! I loved David sfm. GET OUT OF MY BRAIN, TRACY!!

Oh my God, 16 year old me was SO IN LOVE WITH THIS DUDE MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I remember reading an interview with Amaya just a couple years after that season aired, and she was so, so, so embarrassed, haha.

Thank you for this.  This made me so happy.

Please interview Colin and Amaya from Hawaii!

God, I don’t remember that at all!  I also didn’t remember Kira was black.

Seattle was the last season of The Real World I really watched before going into the real world (e.g. moving away from home, going to college) and I have to admit that I forgot about most everything except The Slap. Thank you for reminding us how dreamy David was and thank you other commenters for reminding me of his…

Oh, I wanted to fuck him so bad back in the day!

Sometimes my high school bestie and I still shout, “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW!” at each other because of the David-Kira car scene.
