I used to write a lot when I was little, mostly stories and journals of my thoughts. Then when I was an angsty teenager in seventh grade, I ripped them all up because I thought they were silly and childish.

I mainly had a thing for planes at the time, so I never really got into cars and trains.
So in other words, I made a bunch of primer fuselages without any landing gear; and if the decals were attached to anything, it was to my wet fingers.
You know that you've more or less given up on making a decent model when you look at all the small parts you can't manage to make stick as "extra parts you don't really need"- you know, insignificant embellishments like wings and propellers.
Ah, what a trip down some of memory lane's more dark corridors. |
Yea I had a thing for WW2 heavy bombers.
I had a B-17, B-24 and a B-29 I never finished, as well as numerous B-25s and other medium bombers... :p
The B-29 I got had markings to be Enola Gay or Bocks Car and also came with little models of Little Boy and Fat Man... Of course I always put together the models of the ordinance together first. :D |

i had a little radio with a mic and i used to sing on it.
i used to hide a lot at the mall inside the clothing racks.
i liked cutting the hair off of my dolls and undressing them.
--i used to make them sit inside my shoe and use the shoe as a car.
i collected rolli pollies in a ziploc bag to make a farm but they were always sleeping the next day.
i collected weird rocks and leaves into a barbie box. |

Actually, now that I think of it, I think it was a B-17 that was the only model I ever put together that turned out semi decent (that and possibly a YF-22 I worked on).
This was mainly due to the fact that the thing was so ing huge that you couldn't tell it was missing 65% of its components.
I even managed to get the lady decal on BOTH sides of the plane! |

I used to gaze at maps for hours on end. Before learning how to read, I loved car spotting (which is like train spotting for infants, I suppose) - I'd know all the brands and whatnot. Then I grew out of it and, along with Lego, I spend my days with encyclopaedias, biographies and... maps. Staring for long at the latter proved to be both a blessing and a curse.
I think the more childish thing I'd do as a child was record random video tapes with my siblings. My brother was the comedian of our "TV Channel", my sister was the singer, and I was the news host.
Hell, I was really a rather annoying kid :p |

Me too... I still do it now (but not for hours). I would bet my knowledge of geography in the US is probably better than 95% of the people here. |

The US used to be among my "favourite countries"... probably because it was one of the very few countries that had state limits and whatnot in my atlas. I was fascinated by native American/Canadian names, reason why I was one of the very few kids in class that knew what a Milwaukee and a Saskatchewan were :p
edit: Canada had too few provinces, so I thought it was piss boring :D |
