i miss my old friends
i miss swingsets
i miss going to dinner at the friendly restaurant every friday with my grandfather

I miss my big, old garden too. Can't have anything like that out here in the west without having millions of dollars.
What I wonder about is, how do little kids simply not care about extremely hot weather? I know I used to go out and play in totally humid, sweltering weather and not care at all. Now? I won't even step outside.

i miss building Bug Village and catching shit.

avi, believe it or not, little kids and old people have about 60-70% less sweat glands that are functioning, so hot weather seems less offensive to them when it's humid especially. however, it makes them more prone to dehydration and heat stroke.

i miss having good dreams.

i miss looking forward with a sense of amazement toward the weekends.

i especially miss not having substantial hormones.

 

[avi]

ah, so there IS an explanation!

 

[minxnim]

i realize it's kind of annoying that i have a plethora of entirely useless shit in my brain. so i am glad it became useful today.

i miss the idea that girls liking someone meant they threw rocks at them to get their attention at recess. little rocks, not the ones that give bloody noses. that was hott.

actually, i miss recess as a whole. kick the can and kill the man with the ball are simply things i can't get away with playing now no matter how hard i try.

i used to have a young lady that would throw french fries (sweetly, the ones without ketchup on them) at me, AND punch me. sigh sigh.

i would always be the husband/dad when we'd all play house, too. i forget what that entailed back then, but it was definitely most hottt.

unfortunately, a lot of times the wife was my friend glenn.

- the feeling you get at 3:00 pm on the last day of the school year
- building snow forts (I'll do this again but it's not quite as fun these days for some reason)
- biking around the neighborhood

I miss hedbanger's ball and moshing in my living roon with my brother.

I miss not having to shave.

I miss playing ninja turtles and having forts out of milk crates.

HAS NO ONE GOT ANYTHING TO ADD???

Um...

I miss our lunch lady Rose that used to make us clean up our trays no matter what we brought/bought.

She also gave us pink slips that made us stand with our noses against the wall at recess. I DO NOT MISS HER FOR THAT. BITCH.

i miss learning new things, not just new additions to things i already know, but learning whole new realms i never knew existed before.

 

[chupe666]

I dunno, sometimes i come across those on this very board.

Mostly in the arena of bats/rodentia.

 

[azal]

I do the same, but mostly in the realms of cooking faggy vegan food.

 

[xfer]

dude leave preppy and her quinoa alone.

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Legos, and saturday morning cartoons. Hide n Seek, Manhunt, various ghetto handball games, and the absence of responsibility.
