Alright, so I'm still alive. Things have just been crazy as of lately. I moved back to Princeton. Yay? Not much else to write about that...

so I was reading JP's Diary entry about things children shouldn't do that could be dangerous that we all did anyway and could have easily killed ourselves... and that made me want to write an entry about some childhood memories... not necessarily ones that could have gotten me killed, but good memories nonetheless.. Read on, buddy.

Bottle Rockets. I was always scared of them. Until I hit like 12 or 13. One of my friends showed me they were cool. She'd light them from her hand and stuff. So We did that for like hours upon hours. One landed on the neighborhood church roof. We thought it was going to catch fire so we hid. Nothing like growing older like 19-20... and then lighting them and shooting them at each other. Last year, one hit me in the boob. Burnt a whole in my shirt and bra and left a welt. haha... fun times.

My brother used to tell me when I was younger when we ate at Taco John's that the meat was made out of dogs in the neighborhood. So I would never eat them. That bastard plotted that to steal my tacos! :(

I used to throw my porcelin(i cant spell that word) doll off the front porch and cry to my mom that she broke an arm or a leg and we would tape her back together... I did it many times til everything was taped up. I was sick and twisted?

I had this creepy looking clown doll that would laugh when you squeezed its tummy, and it was sooo scary to me. I would purposely hide it at the bottom of the toy box under everything else... My Mom thought I loved it and would always dig it out. I had nightmares about it.

Lelah Helen was my first ever Cabbage Patch Doll with RED hair. I got her when I was six. My brother got me it for my birthday I think. I just thought it was sooo cool cuz it had red hair like me.

Totally Hair Barbie was the Mom. Skipper had affairs with Ken. Sometimes GI Joe would have to do. We didn't have baby barbies when I was little. So I used the Christmas elf off of a christmas decoration my mom had. What an ugly baby. I had the coolest doll house as a kid. My Mom bought clothes from a lady she worked with that had sewn them all by hand for me for my barbies.

Sit and Spin was the coolest thing ever.

Monkey bars were my favorite thing on the playground, I would hang upside down the entire recess. Oh and we had this like old drain type of thing with a big cement thing that was shaped like a bowl. If you kids are from Bethany, you will remember that... we played in that all the time. And the big black tires that was shaped like a little building.

We also played in old sewer drains. they were big and concrete, probably like 5 foot tall. Never had any sewer or water in them but thats what they were.

I used to run across the floor and jump into my bed at night, because the scary monster would have grabbed my feet if I didn't.

I had a wooden dog on a string that I pulled around everywhere.

We used to chase the chickens until Grandma yelled at us to stop because we would give them a heart attack. Oh and we had a tame rooster that you could pick up and pet like a cat. Its name was Shannon.

My grandparents had like 9 or 10 cats throughout the years all named Socksie. haha.

You aren't supposed to feed chocolate to dogs. Blondie loved tootsie rolls.

Little Mermaid, Drop Dead Fred and Cry Baby were my favorite movies.

My best friend in Kindergarten was a boy named John Mark. I also had another friend who was from England. I don't remember her name, but she gave me this old red telephone when they moved away that we always played with. I still have it.

I was a girl scout. often the top cookie seller. and my mom was the leader.

Barbie and the Rockers. Jem was the coolest.

Trolls. I had a ton of those things. All different bright colored hair. and jeweled belly buttons.

I always went barefoot everywhere. My Mom used to yell at me for it, too.

Pass the pigs was the coolest game ever. My cousins and aunt and uncle brought it over when they came to visit from Oklahoma. That same uncle used to play nintendo with me all the time and help me get to the higher levels.

Intellivision. Burger Time. Need I say more?

That's all I can remember for now... This was fun! :)
