My sister and her friend were on the carport roller skating. I was out there watching them, and uh.. well, see I was very small, and in the middle of toilet training. So I decided I'd just go outside (lazy child!)Quote:

I love Shel. I wish I could get a collection of all his works. I think his books were the first I read by myself without any help as a child. Also made me fall in love with poetry :)Quote:

Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid?
my mum once made me a cake in the shape of tweety bird's head :)
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!)
they're my great-aunt and -uncle, and as a kid they gave me everything! i swear three-quarters of the books in my three bookshelves are all from them. they still send me a postcard by regular snail mail at least once a month from places all over australia (they're big travellers). my great-uncle also has a habit of slipping two $50 notes into my hand everytime he hugs me :)
Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?
holy moly this is a hard one.. soo many! i can't narrow it down to one so you're just going to have to deal with a list :p
anne of green gables series, harry potter series, his dark materials trilogy, princess diaries series, and the children of the wind series.
Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name?
a rabbit called thumper :jess:
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?
don't think so.. i remember being pretty scared of ghosts though. i also hated still being awake when my parents went to bed and the house went suddenly all dark and quiet. these days i can't sleep if there's noise or light :roll2
My first pet was also a dog called Candy. My mother gave her away after she had puppies. I was 3.Quote:

It was black with red icing and had REO Speedwagon lyrics on it.
My family have never been spoilers, so I don't have a clear answer for this one. Hrm.
From age 2-4 I had this book where all the Disney characters, even Horace the Horse, held a surprise picnic for Mickey. I could read that book by the time I was 3. Couldn't read anything else, though.
I never did believe in anything under my bed. I sure as hell believed Bloody Bones lived in the woods and would kill me dead if I went out after bedtime. :stare:
Topic #1: What was the coolest birthday cake you've ever had as a kid?
Everyone knows I hate cake, so the coolest birthday cake I've ever had would've been the ice-cream one my aunt made once. =]
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 still get spoilt by grandmama now! She gives me money all the time xD
Topic #3: What was your favorite book as a child?
Goosebumps were great, but I think I'll go with Choose Your Own Adventure. My mum thought I was bonkers whenever she saw me reading it. She didn't understand why I wasn't reading it 'properly'.
Topic #4: What was your first pet and what was its name?
Due to my mothers hatred of all things animal, I've had to put off getting a pet until only very recently. I had three mice - Nugget, Latté and Sundae.
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?
Nope.
