Topic #2: I remember my brother and sister getting spoiled but I always happened to be absent when they did that. It happened that way a lot... I just now begin to sense a pattern.
Topic #3: Probably Harry Potter. No one read to me when I was a kid, and I didn't start reading a whole lot until the sixth grade and when I did I started with that. From there I got into the fantasy scene and graduated to better books.
Topic #4: A black lab named Chubs. :love:
Topic #5: No. I was scared of people outside my window actually, like they were peaking in at me while I slept. I was afraid someone would break in and choose my window to do it.
Topic #1: Ummm, I can't remember too many of my birthday cakes but I know I had one one year that was in the shape of a giant chocolate hedgehog which was pretty awesome.
Topic #2: I'm not sure I can think of anything for this one but one of my most cherished memories of my grandparents was when they used to live with me (Many, many years ago, I was like 5 or something) and I used to do jigsaws and read stories with my Grandad.
Topic #3: I'm not sure I remember what its called but I think it was called the 'Hungry caterpillar' or something.
Topic #4: My first pet was a lutino cockatiel called Magic. He was and always will be my baby. Eventhough he passed away late 2008 I still love him and think of him as one of my closest friends who was able to make me smile no matter what.
Topic #5: Not trolls, more like a flesh eating robot that lived on my landing (right outside my door xD). I woke up one night and I must have been half asleep or something because I just saw it there right outside my door. :eek: Thinking of it now gives me goosebumps O.O' .
Haha, I have memory problems! :D
Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid?
Y'know, I don't really remember! I do know, however, that I had this really great lemon pudding cake for my birthday last year. I mean, I'd had it before, but god, I love it so much.
Topic #2: What is your best childhood memory of being spoiled and loved by your grandparents? (If you've never known your grandparents, you can choose another family member!)
I really don't recall any fond memories of my grandparents on my mom's side, since they've always been rather absent from my life. I mean, I see them for Christmas and the occasional birthday, but eh. On my dad's side... my grandpa was killed in an accident three months before I was born. My grandma remarried a while later, and I always considered that man to be my grandfather on that side. They used to take me to museums and stuff, which is great, because I love museums. Then he died in 2004, and my grandma's become even more of a nervous, paranoid, often bitter old lady than she used to be. It's sad to think about.
Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?
Typical childhood books, I suppose. Beverly Cleary's Ramona Quimby series, Charlotte's Web, Harry Potter, and so on.
Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name?
We had a dog named Candy when I was born. However, she died when I was 2 or so, so I don't really remember her. When I was 5 or so we got a half-malamute half-husky that I named Jasmine (Aladdin was my favorite movie back then). I guess I'd call her my first pet. Then we had to give her away just a couple years later. Much like pretty much all of my later pets. :(
Topic #5: Did you believe in anything like trolls under your bed or closet monsters as a kid? If so, which one scared you the most?
Nothing like that, I don't think. My parents did say, however, that I had a deranged half-brother living in the attic when I was little. I believed them, too. ーへー
Topic #1: Most of my birthday cakes were average/not memorable
Topic #2: Never knew my grandparents. Only people who spoiled me were my parents and I kept asking them to stop getting me stuff.
Topic #3: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and Starwars Episode 1 are the only books i remember reading to completion until i was 12.
Topic #4: There were pets in the house but i never really cared for them.
Topic #5: I was scared of monsters when I slept unless I had a little stuffed dog thing with me.

My grandma makes the best cake ever. I recently learned how to make it myself and now I can have it whenever I want! It's like this heath cake thing with veins of caramel in it :3
What is your best childhood memory of being spoiled and loved by your grandparents? (If you've never known your grandparents, you can choose another family member!)
My grandparents are awesome. They would always fly us to their house for the summer and takes us to all of the touristy places and we'd have a lot of fun n.n
What was your favorite book as a child?
I wish I still had the books I had when I was in Illinois. I think a bunch of them got stuck in the DONATE pile or something because all of my favorites are gone! I had a lovely story book filled with some fairy tales and stuff like The Velveteen Rabbit. It was really nice and I wish I still had it.
What was your first pet and what was its name?
When I was two and my parents and I were moving out of our grandparents' house we took my dad's cat that he'd had since he was thirteen. We stopped at a gas station or something on the way there and he ran away. We never saw him again ;_;! A year or so later we got another cat named Bud.
Did you believe in anything like trolls under your bed or closet monsters as a kid? If so, which one scared you the most?
I...had a trash bag...in a tree. I was sitting in my little swing under the huge tree in my grandma's back yard and a black trash bag got caught in it. It was super windy that day so it looked strange and made horrible noises. I was aware of the fact that it was a trash bag but it still scared me a lot! I didn't get on a swing again for like two years! I absolutely adored the Crypt Keeper but stuff like the spaces between the planks on the deck and going from carpet to tile scared me. I was an odd child :|
Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid?
I... never had a really cool cake. My childhood has been ruined now that I've realized this...
Topic #2: What is your best childhood memory of being spoiled and loved by your grandparents? (If you've never known your grandparents, you can choose another family member!)
Hmm... :bou::bou::bou::bou:, nothing there either. Unless you count when my grandmother bought Final Fantasy VII for me when I was 8. <3
Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?
I read all the Harry Potter books every year of elementary school, up until the last one came out in Middle school. Loved them.
Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name?
I always had a dog when I was little, but the first pet that was ever truly mine to take care of and such was a dove. His name was Romeo, and he was adorable. (:
Topic #5: Did you believe in anything like trolls under your bed or closet monsters as a kid? If so, which one scared you the most?
I was never scared of anything like that until I watched some movie called Darkness Falls, then I was scared of all of it.
:3
Topic #1: Mine was a double-layered vanilla/confetti cake with confetti icing. For what birthday, you ask? My 20th XD
Topic #2: Childhood? Does now count? But seriously, my grandparents always help me out, so I'm not sure if that would count as being spoiled. I don't ask them for much. I'm usually asking them if they need help, honestly. If I had to put down an answer, mine would be when they bought me my first bed when I moved out of the dorms. It was a king sized bed and I still have it to this day. Its a very comfy and lovely bed. I didn't really ask for it, but they knew I needed one and I guess they figured this would last much longer than any other bed.
Topic #3: Anything by Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Runny Babbit).
Topic #4: My first personal pet was a hamster that I received from my 5th grade teacher and her family. His name was "Hammie" and he was a rather fat hamster. He ran away when my cousin let him out of his cage and he got outside through our front door. Another pet I had while I was on vacation in Arizona with my family was "Lizzard." He was a pretty cool lizard to have for about a month. He escaped the day after I left. Supposedly, he still visits with his family, from what my aunt and uncle tell me. My family has had several dogs, but I do not claim them as my own. My one and only pet at the moment is "Mori," my Russian Blue/Domestic mixed cat.
Topic #5: I was a chicken as a child, so of course I believed in things being underneath my bed. Mine were demons, vampires, ghosts, possessed spirits, dead relatives, aliens, zombies.... yeah, I was a troubled child.
I accept your challenge, Rye!
1. Giant penis.
2. Grandpa smurfed me.
3. Kama Sutra.
4. Dog called Gash-hound.
5. Paedo in the shed.
Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid?
...The one that got turned into a food fight.
Topic #2: What is your best childhood memory of being spoiled and loved by your grandparents?
My nanna makes goddamn delicious bread and butter pudding. Her desserts, seriously, that's her secret weapon to get her kids and grandkids to come visit!
Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?
No idea. I really liked the Deltora Quest books? LotR was great too but I didn't finish that for a long time.
Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name?
Jessie was my bestie and she was part dingo and that was awesome. She protected me when I went walking off on my own when I was 3! (Lots of trees and ditches and snakes where I live)
Topic #5: Did you believe in anything like trolls under your bed or closet monsters as a kid? If so, which one scared you the most?
There is still :bou::bou::bou::bou: under my bed. I don't go down there. They don't try and eat my ankles but if I go down there oh man
[q]Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid? [/q]
I would say the cake that was made of cupcakes. Mom got bored and decided to find a way not to need to cut the cake. It was awesome :D
[q]Topic #2: What is your best childhood memory of being spoiled and loved by your grandparents? (If you've never known your grandparents, you can choose another family member!)[/q]
On my Moms side, Grandma and Grandpa decided that I was going to Disneyworld. I was 7 and it was amazing
On my dads side my Grandma got a complete stranger to give her, my sister and myself a piece of his wedding cake. The fact that he actually gave it to her was better than the cake though. :p
[q]Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?[/q]
Animorphs :bigsmile:
[q]Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name? [/q]
Wheeze the Dog. he was an awesome dog. I miss him :(
[q]Topic #5: Did you believe in anything like trolls under your bed or closet monsters as a kid? If so, which one scared you the most?[/q]
Nope, I struck a bargain with Chernabog. I would not disturb him and he had the freedom to eat any other monsters in the house :p
Ohhhh, how could I have forgotten Shel? I adored all of his books.Quote:
