AIM Profiles: Without them, how would your friends know about your burdening sense of middle school-induced ennui? For so many of us, they were a profound means of self-expression -- like an art museum, but filled with Taking Back Sunday quotes.
Let's rewind a little and give a well-deserved hat tip to some of the classic lyrics we proudly displayed on our profiles:
