    Oh yeah, those.


    I think a "crashback" is an appropriate name.

    Ah. Well, I get plenty of them (and I MEAN plenty)!

    Oh well, back to the topic at hand...

    EDIT: You just totally invented that word. But hey, that was pretty good.

    I get Nostalgic every time I get to go home and sleep in my own room. It hasn't changed at all in the years since I've left it.

    Actually, you need seventy two thousand people to be using a word at the current time for it to be "official" and placed in the dictionary.

    Seventy-two-thousand? That's insane; it'll never happen. I reckon our current English will remain for a long time. But anyway, we're getting off topic! Oh well, who cares?

    That's nonsense. There are languages with only one or two living speakers, which have "the dictionary". YOUR LOGIC IS FLAWED AS IS YOUR BELT which conveniently has fallen down your legs EXPOSING THE HIDEOUS SIGHT of your Carebear boxers. And it's not even America Bear.


    It's DO-YOUR-BEST BEAR.

    That was like, so last year.

    That could be nostalgia for me. I probably didn't even use the word right.

    I remember years ago when I used to wake up in the morning and before going to school I would see Nait online (you see he's on the other side of the world) and he would be posting about many different things and then I would have to go to school and not be able to see Nait until the next morning. Well, here I am, many many mornings later. I have waited.

    'sup, Nait?

    I think old journals, sketchbooks, and mementos from my parents' house make me feel nostalgic. I also found out if you visit anywhere you spent a considerable amount of time, you tend to try to think of all the fond memories you have relating to the place. :|

    I tend to avoid the feeling; it's far better to make more recent memories, than reflect on the old ones kicking around in the back of your mushy brain.

    I whole-heartedly disagree with your description. I revel in nostalgia. I adore reminders of my past. But I fully accept the future and usually look forward to new possibilities and things. Cartoons and toys are my biggest nostalgia inducers. Video games used to be. But emulation took care of that. And anymore, I realize how unevolved games were back then and find it hard to get back into games I used to enjoy, with all-to-simple gameplay mechanics. And impossible challenges just to make games last longer. And when they had dialogue *croak* High-quality RPGs and cenimatic masterpieces have me spoiled anymore. People think games are straying too far from their roots these days. I think they just haven't found those wonderful gems that innovate in all the right places to give you the gaming orgasm you've been waiting for since NES introduced the possibilites. I'm gonna shut up now.
