Henry and Mudge.

Also known as Bryson and Thor to my family now.

And Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And dahlias.

[Laddy]

My first game and part of the reason I'm the socially-crippled mess I am today. I smurfing loved this game and I spend my entire free time finding EVERY secret to it.

Oh, and Spongebob.

Nuuuuu you'll make me all nostalgic and sad!

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.

[Christmas]

I got a sad and empty childhood.

[Pumpkin]

Wagons and dinosaurs. I loved pulling people in a wagon. As far as dinosaurs go, I had many dinosaur toys, books, movies an clothes.

[Rantz]

Cuban cigars and argyle.

childhood memories eh rob

~ Using bicycles and racing games to simulate "driving." For some reason, that's what I wanted to do the most as a "grown up." Now I don't really care. Go figure. o_o
~ 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. <3

I remember those computer games! Those were fun.

I also played some computer game called CrossCountry California... or something.

There are so many things, but...



Must have watched this at least 6 times a week.

I found that on dvd pretty cheap so I bought it for my son 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

When I was a kid, I was never bored. I was either watching tv, playing NES/SNES/N64, reading, listening to The Lion King soundtrack all night every night before bed, going outside to play with my friends, sneaking baking m&ms out of the bag my mom had put up (and she just recently informed me that she knew about this :o), playing with my barbies or my big brother's micro machines...seriously, my childhood kicked ass.

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
