Things you miss from your childhood.

Omg I remember those noodles too! I used to get my mom to buy them everytime we went grocery shopping...good times...

Anyway things I miss about being a kid:

-Playgrounds: I used to love playgrounds a lot, and that is why I always looked forward to recess every day during school. I used to have a lot of fun times on those, even if I did get kinda scared of getting shocked...and sometimes my mom would take me to the park at times and I would play there. Those were awesome times.

-TV Shows: From what I remember I used to enjoy watching cartoons...but this was back when cartoons didn't suck...now I've almost lost the will to watch nearly any cartoon on today because they suck, I stick with anime now...

-Toys: Boy did I love playing with toys nearly endlessly, I was always the playful-type child...Playing with Legos was awesome, and so were playing with those big boxes I used to have...also when I was very little I liked to carry around a blue stuffed dragon toy wherever I went...and I have been liking dragons and plushies for as long as I remember...the sad thing about it while I was at school one day when I was 10 my dad must've gotten rid of a LOT of toys I had...including that dragon...and I didn't get another dragon until 5 years later when I won it at a theme park....yeah it's a pretty sad story, but I'm trying to rebuild a plushie collection now...yeah...I used to get them plenty of times when I was little...I still buy them but not as much as I used to but still...

-School: Wasn't as much a burden on my life, I liked it pretty OK, and homework wasn't as bad then and the kids there were nicer to me. Beats the nightmare that is my school though...

I'm 19 as well and I've being getting ' feeling old ' since I was 17!

Anyways, I was quite a strange child, sometimes normal, sometimes odd, I miss a lot of stuff.

* I used to eat Dirt... literally! No, I never swollowed but I actually used to put dirt into my mouth! I never gave a toss about infections!

* Cardboard boxes... the best thing ever! Theres a one or two embrassing photos of me making used of such things from when I was a child! I once made a town out of cardboard boxes and actually SET ONE ON FIRE and used a toy firetruck that could squirt water to put it out!

* BEING HYPER - ACTIVE! If you gave me coke, you were making a BIG mistake, I'd be running up the walls, almost literally ( Maybe it is ironic I'm a Matrix Fan these days )

* Drawing, almost every chance I got to, I did, whatever that was on paper or on windows of a Bus! Little wonder I was considered the best at drawing in my class at one point!

* I've being a bit of a computer freak since childhood, one time, when I was 6, I was at an uncles and ran off down to my grandmothers down a hill to play her computer, worrying the hell out of my father! It was that very computer from which my love of computers came from, whenever I was at her house, I was always on it!

* Although I never lasted in the Cubs or Scouts ( I was simply too young to take orders in a military manner! ), I lasted in the Beavers until I was too old for it. Good times there was in it. Prehaps my only REAL socail thing I did outside of school when I was a child, with me being shy and addicted to SNES.

* Be afriad of, even hating girls! I can quite explain why, they just scared me!

* You should have seen me when I got Yoshi's Island for my 10th birthday! I actually slept with it that night! I had rented it like 8 or 9 times over 2 months beforehand, I went nuts when I saw it my local rental store when it came out, it was more expensive to rent than the others and so my brother had to go back up home with me to get more money because I WAS NOT going to rent ANYTHING else!

* The ONE time in my entire childhood where we got a REAL snowfall, one that was actually worthy of being called a snowfall! Where the Snow was deep enough to crunch your feet in! I also miss not being so fussy about hot or cold, I'd got in freezing weather in fairly light clothes and vice versa if I could!

* I always sat on the floor in the living room at night. WHY? Back when I could draw whenever and whereever I wanted without the fear of being told ' Thats childish, be sensible, draw a tree! ' whenever I wasn't playing SNES, the living room was my base of operations for drawing. My early drawings of Yoshi look nothing like him but over time, they improved, my drawings of Yoshi actually look like Yoshi now!

* Having fun with insects, God knows how many of the poor critters I killed over my childhood.


Man, for a shy, inward child, I can remember quite a lot of good stuff from my childhood! I always try to stay in touch with my inner child, too bad my family seem to disapprove of this.

I miss my childhood friends...Ugh, They all moved away though...heh I miss victor the most, He was the one who helped me out in beating some of the Bosses on some of my games...He was like a cheat code...but real. XD

The one thing that I miss from my childhood besides the other things that were mentioned here was the fact that I didn't care that I was single. Now I do. Sob.

The one thing I didn't miss was going camping.

WORST EVER

That's kinda like my problem...I still haven't settled on a good opportunity to really let out my inner child IRL...I'm afraid of what my dad would react...and I don't really know anyone IRL who I can be sure that they won't mind me acting a bit childish at times...*sigh* I think the whole growing up process is taking its toll on me...

- playing The Floor Is Lava and other games with my cousins
- old school cafeteria food like square pizza and chocolate milk in little cartons
- old school playgrounds
- old school Power Rangers
- those LA Gear shoes with the lights on them

i know why ;)

The only thing is miss is that me being shy back then was normal. Now it's a problem. D:

...And I also liked sitting upside down the sofa. Hurts my head now. And I'm a little too big

I used to pick up ants, squish them and eat them.

They left an stingy aftertaste

Nah, my childhood was ****.

Everything was personal.

The freedom ._.

Speaking of Gameboy, in kindergarten, my backpack was shaped and looked like a gameboy, had no outer pockets, just one zipper. The buttons weren't thick or anything, it was a flat picture, but it was the coolest thing ever. And I had a gameboy watch in 3rd grade. Whenever someone saw it hough they'd be like THATS SO NEAT LOOK IM PLAYING IT in reality it was a small Digital watch with no pixels, just the numbers game and watch style, there's no games on it or even room for a decent screen, it's just numbers but no one seemed to understand that.


We used to have a black & white computer with Windows 3.1 on it, my mom got it from her work because they didn't want it anymore. It was awesome at the time, because before that we had a really bad dos computer that only had 2 colors: Black, and orange. It did have some use though, you could play some DOS games on it, such as Concentration, Monopoly, and OverKill. Anyways, after the windows 3.1 computer, we finally got a real computer, with windows 95 on it, it came with some cd's, one of them being Nickelodeon 3D movie maker. I used to play that ALL the time, spending weeks trying to figure out how to make the mouths move to words, how to make 2 characters/objects move at the same time, until I was making my own scenes out of Letter props (usually periods and lowercase L's, make for good shapes) and applying the limited text textures to them. The scenes are prerendered, so making them on your own, you could practically have any angle you want, but it's tough work, didn't do it much. My favorite thing to do was make one character huge and causing mayhem in the city scene..

Then after that I started playing Duke Nukem, and I played it a lot. I wouldn't dare NOT using god mode, I knew the codes from word of mouth because I found someone else who played the game too. Makes me want to download the windows port of it I heard about just for nostalgia.. My favorite level was probrably "Duke Burger" because the premise was that the bad guys (aliens) infiltrated the resteraunt, and you go inside, pretty soon you'll be in the employee only area, and theres this butcher-type area with a bloody table, and on the wall theres a picture of a dog showing you where to cut and stuff. Plus the strippers in the game were a thrill to me, I was probrably like 9 or 10 when I was playing this.

Me and my friend used to play diddy kong racing all the time


and I remember buying Banjo Kazooie with my own money after reading about it in a game magazine

in like 6th grade I remember my friends brother telling me some of the codes in diddy kong racing and I was amazed. And for a while I thought Taj was an unlockable character, and that you could ride on his magic carpet..

my first time playing ocarina of time...

starfox 64...


those were good times.


My first video game was super mario bros, I used to play it with my dad, and sometimes with my sister. We would always chant "die.. die.. die.. die.." while the other was playing since you don't get a turn until the other person dies or falls in a hole.

I learned the word "doomed" from my dad while in the castle of world 5, I don't know why I know it was world 5, it probrably wasn't, but something makes me think it was 5. It was a pattern one where you can go down a grey pipe and theres a water level.

Me and my dad always used to play Blaster Master (we called it Master Blaster because it sounds cooler) and skate or die, among others. I still have all the games and play them on my generation nex.

I don't have my super nintendo anymore because it got stolen. Our (old house) house was robbed before by mexicans but they didn't take much, just a couple vcrs, the super nintendo with all the games except super mario world ( I think they dropped it) my *first* nintendo 64, which I like just got it so I only had 2 games, diddy kong racing and yoshi story, but they left yoshi story too, I almost thought they had something against yoshi's because yoshi is on both the covers.. anyways yeah.

but anywho to spare my life story thats a lot of good times I remember..

Cartoons that were actually good and creative.

and other stuff

Ice cream trucks.
Walkmans.
Super NES.
Hide and Seek.
Beach carnivals.
Educational CD Rom games
Tricycles
Parks
Gameboy.
Discovery Zone.

PLAYING OUTSIDE.

Seriously, I remember when my friends and I would spend maybe 3/4 of our free time outside, doing all sorts of cool stuff like riding our bikes to the comic book store in the summer and having snowball wars in the winter (I was bad at those but still had a hell of a good time). Then I moved, and the kids in the new neighborhood stayed inside most of the time and the only fun thing to do outside was play catch. And then I got too old for that.

There's other things, too, but that's the one that sticks out the most.

i used to pretend to be Mario back in elementary school in recess


and Ganon when playing zelda,

i miss those days ;_;
