This day was so memorable. This was the day I moved to a new house that was near my high school. I will never forget this day. I moved out of my old house, which I lived in from 1996–2009, the previous day and stayed at my older grandmother's apartment that night because Mom was going to take down my bed.

For some reason I still remember Owl City's Fireflies being played everywhere (restaurants, big box stores, etc.) you went to back then.

Take me back to November 13, 2009

Ready for a walk down memory lane?

The date is November 13, 2009, and it's a Friday. Anyone born today will have the star sign Scorpio. Many people have "that Friday feeling" and are looking forward to the weekend.

It's November, so the evenings are getting darker and the days are getting colder. In America, the song "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo is at the top of the singles charts, while "Meet Me Halfway" by The Black Eyed Peas is the number-one song in the UK. Barack Obama is the President of the United States, and the movie 2012 is at the top of the box office.

Gordon Brown is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. On television, people are watching popular shows such as "MythBusters", "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service", "Dog the Bounty Hunter", and "Psych". Meanwhile, in technology news, more and more people are beginning to use the Internet on their phones. This transition towards mobile Internet has been aided by the recent roll-out of faster 3G networks and the introduction of larger touchscreen phones.

A growing social network called Facebook is beginning to steal users away from MySpace and Bebo. Video rental stores such as Blockbuster are struggling to compete with online streaming services such as Netflix and Hulu. A music genre called Dubstep has started to go mainstream.

It's 2009, so the music charts are filled with artists such as The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Flo Rida, Taylor Swift and T.I. The game "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" has just been released. If you were to travel back to this day, notable figures such as Umaga, Brittany Murphy, Corey Haim, and Chris Kanyon would all still be alive.

People are playing video games such as "Battlefield: Bad Company", "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars", "Minecraft", and "Batman: Arkham Asylum". Children and teenagers are watching television shows such as "Hannah Montana", "Phineas and Ferb", "iCarly", and "Glee". Children are playing with toys such as the Xbox 360, Kid-Tough Digital Camera, FurReal Friends Butterscotch Pony, and Star Wars AT-TE Walker.
