Well, when i was your age
.
this post looked like fun so i stole the idea :)
In other words... I have more shit to blog about that I can't discuss so here goes a distraction topic... I didn't even go climbing today so I gots nothing there. Well band practise rocked.
Okay...
things that i loved when I was a kid.
- water skiing at our family camp (not a summer camp... an actual claimed piece of land my folks built an a frame on)
- boat trips on the lake with optional fishing
- getting a dog when i was like 12
- playing with crayfish in the creek at the end of our lake
- playing in lakes
- walking over to and showing up unannounced at my grandfather's house. i still miss you papa and it's been 25 years!
- skiing and skating and winter sports
- slip and slide
- watching lightning storms through a picture window and looking out at a big bay.
- family trips to dairy queen
- swedish berries when they were 1 cent each!
- family trips in general
- reading
- family dinners
- playing knights and princesses with the boy children of some family friends. It was great there was me, then a boy two years younger than me, his brother a year younger, my sister a year younger and the last boy two years younger... god we had fun.
- the first time i put my kick and stroke together at a swim meet and knocked 20 seconds off my best time for the 50 free.
- climbing around on blasting cliffs near our house or trees.
- comics for a quarter... and never more than fifty cents.
- playing matchbox cars or uno with the boy next door.
- trick or treating
- dodge the ball
- cartwheels and mudpies
- innocence

fun, fun stuff!!
I was SO the dodgeball king. For a fat kid, I was amazingly agile and ... dodgy. Also, I could catch anything thrown at me. Was banned from the game at school after I blasted 2 kids so hard they broke bones. Oops; didn't know my own strength.
Lakes and fishing! Yes!
Playing with girls? ewww! no way! not then! now? hmm ... wanna come over and make mudpies, princess? *eyebrow wiggles*
well it was your post that inspired me dzer :)
god i miss dodge the ball, that game was so fucking fun, i could dodge ANYTHING. I was nearly always last one in which is pretty impressive for the girl everyone in the class loved to pick on.
dodgy dzer dodgy dzer *clears throat* yes okay.
+10 for calling me princess
-2 for eyebrow waggles
*giggling*
-2? wtf? that was some extremely skilled eyebrow wiggles ... not waggles!
damn ... shoulda wriggled 'em
and I woulda punched ya out REAL quick in dodgeball ;)
I think what I love about when I was a child are things that I could not have understood then. How amazing is that there was a time when I wasn't at all aware of everything that is wrong with the world? Granted some adults live in that fantasy...but those are the morons. I am glad I know no but it was nice not to know then.
-N
okay i guess you can have your -2 back since you were wriggling or wiggling and not waggling... i don't know though i was pretty amused when i took off -2.
dude better men have tried :P
natalia i fully agree. that's why i ended the post with the word innocence. it just seemed... apt somehow. i'm glad to be a maturing human, teh experience has been wonderful but i'm also delighted that there was a time that wasn't true.
well for me it sort of was because i was the unpopular kid (to a level i can't even beging to explain, my mom said i would come home and tell her stories and that she was amazed i still had the courage to speak)... still i didn't understand the terribleness that this world can wreak on teh unsuspecting and i'm glad to have had that even for a short time ...
darlin' .. there aren't many better men ... let alone better dodgeballers ;)
-3 to you for refusing to admit to the reality of my dodgeball ownage of you ... heh heh
+3 for having a fast and dodgy ass
-3 for using the phrase "oh ho" ... why not "the game's afoot" while yer at it? LOL
and I have a patented fake throw move that will make you swivel those hips, and then the real throw nails ya ;)
thanks dude, i earned the +3 trust me.
i like oh ho but i accept my -3 with grace.
dude, the entire class hated me. do you really think such a weak move would work?
dude, i DANCE!
chick ... I was so good they made me throw LEFT-handed (I'm right-handed) and I still was the king of the dodge.
maybe we're just both really good?
What a great distraction topic. I think I will see you your post, and match the ante.
Would love to cover this on my blog also... great post Sass.
I missed you.
PS - Dodgeball kix ass.
Fishing kix ass.
Cartwheels and Dairy Queen kix ass
You, my dear, kix major ass.
that's how I felt when I read dzer's post ... i just had to do one myself.
I can't wait to read yours, and anyone else that cares to ante up... :) [yup othercat, castufari, teresa, elle, light, ming, tania, nerd, hedonist, viv, RUS i'm thinking of y'all]
i missed you lots bubbles... i hope you're feeling as well as can be expected *wry smile* what a horrid expression that is.
*huggs*
