My favorite thing was going to the park to play. There was this swing, it was awesome, and one of the things that every other kids did was to find out who could jump the farthest off the swing. I did it once, but I hurt myself. :(
I kinda miss primary school to be honest. I mean, in primary you did pretty much crap all work, my home room teacher was sooo nice, everyone was friends with everyone else (except boys didn't hang out with girls and no one hung out with the smelly kid), and it's hard to enjoy anything ever as much as a kid enjoys the sound of recess/lunch/home bell.
High School can smurf RIGHT off though.
Soccer
Legos
Spider-Man
SNES video games, including: TMNT (Turtles in Time), Mario Bros. 2-3 and Super Mario World, and some Ken Griffey Jr. baseball game.
Books include: Encyclopedia Brown, the Great Brain series, and Goosebumps
TV shows include: Spider-Man and X-Men Saturday morning cartoons, I Love Lucy, Family Matters
I had that book as a child and now I read it to mine. :love:Quote:

Back in the day, every Thursday meant I was going to get picked up after school by my great grandmother instead of my grandma. Nothing against my grandma, but I absolutely adored going to my great grandmother's house for a variety of reasons. One of them was there was something about her presence combined with the house that she lived in that usually took away childhood stress when I went there. I mean, yeah, she babied me a bit, but it wasn't just that.
If I could seriously mentally time travel back through time I would visit that "era" of my life again. I would attempt to have a serious discussion with my great grandmother to thank her for all that she has done for me.
Where the Wild Things Are and the noises and voices my dad would make as he read it to me.
Food.
i liked sitting on the back porch in summertime and reading. and having all night sleepovers where we just drank jolt cola and played Secret of Evermore and FFVI.
These two for starters.Quote:

Must have watched this at least 6 times a week. :love:
My friends. SNES.
And playing on the trampoline. :bigsmile:
Pokemon! :) (Still love it.)
I remember me and my uncle (who is one year older than ma) used to race home from primary school to get the good seat at my gran's house. We also used to love watching Digimon and Cardcaptors :D
Oh, and THE SPICE GIRLS
I still watch Pokémon, too.
Ahem,

Oh, and Spongebob.

My computers, especially my Amiga
Lego
Sitting sprawled across the furniture watching Star Trek TNG and DS9
Going to bed early to spend the evening eating snacks and reading the Beano while my parents go to the pub
*thinks*
Actually that's not so bad. Now I'm 30 and still do pretty much the same thing hehe. I'm pretty content with life, even if others think I should be doing other things.
- Still mess with computers, and got an Amiga again off eBay
- Okay, I don't have lego. I want lego. I may fix that.
- I sprawled across the bed and watched all of TNG and DS9 (and Voyager) over the past couple of years.
- Fridays are pretty similar, I don't actually "go to bed" but sit on it eating snacks, drinking beer and watching My Little Pony / posting on related sites. 'kay, I didn't expect to be doing that last one back when I was 10. I may get the Beano some time just for nostalgia.
Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional.
I got a sad and empty childhood. :(
Wagons and dinosaurs. I loved pulling people in a wagon. As far as dinosaurs go, I had many dinosaur toys, books, movies an clothes.
Cuban cigars and argyle.
childhood memories eh rob :aimkiss:Quote:

~ Baby-sitters Club, Goosebumps, and Sweet Valley. Also, those Alvin Schwartz horror books with the really freaky illustrations.
~ SNICK. Especially Are You Afraid of the Dark.
~ SNES and Gameboy.
~ Disney movies, particularly from the "Disney Renaissance" era. Those soundtracks were amazing.
~ Mariah Carey's "Daydream" album. lolol .. and Spice Girls. And Boyz II Men. And BSB. ...I really liked my 90s music, I guess.
Oh man, I forgot some video games: Gameboy's Kirby's Dream Land. I played that game so smurfing much. As well as SNES's Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Highly entertaining game.
And for computer: Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and Number Munchers.
My Kirby games were Kirby's Adventure on NES and Kirby Superstar on SNES. <3Quote:

I found that on dvd pretty cheap so I bought it for my son :D I can't wait to watch it with him! I've also been collecting another token of my childhood for him, the Disney movies I grew up on :DQuote:

There are times I wish, just for one day, I could go back in time and just be that age again. But I look at how I am now, and even though my days of that are over, my son will one day be looking to me for entertainment and I will be more than happy to introduce him to the fun I had at his age <3
I grew up with a lot of classic books. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass, Winnie-the-Pooh, Beatrix Potter, E.B. White... I read a heck of a lot when I was a kid.
I loved watching Pingu... and I still do!
MWAT MWAT! :D
Oh goodness Pingu. That show was awesome. How awesome can you be, opn184? :D
