When I was young, I 'm not a kid anymore
Before I get into the main purpose of this entry, I just want to say I watched Finding Nemo for the first time and I cried. Yep. I'm a grown ass kid. "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming."
So! Speaking of me being a kid... I was thinking of some things I did/believed as a child. (slightly stolen from Mike)
I used to think I had mind control because of the wavy lines I saw on clear days when the sun was out. I thought that was my mind control powers and I used to "focus" on people and try to get them to walk in certain directions... It didn't really work, but I still believed in my powers. lol
I know I'm not the only one that thought cooties were real and kinda serious.
A few times when I was about 7 I made christmas lists and they kept disappearing. At first I thought I'd misplaced them, then I figured Santa's elves must've zapped them away so he could get me what I want. ("Santa's elf" was my sister, Lynette. lol)
I once made a "mouse trap" that consisted of my toy hair dryer placed on top of the floor model tv in the living room (which now rests underneath my main tv in the bedroom because I'm SO ghetto!) with a string attached to it that led to the floor. There was a sign next to the string that said something like "For cheese Pull String." I figured the mouse would read the sign, pull the string and the toy hair dryer would fall on their head and kill them. And I'd wake up every morning expecting to see a dead mouse conked out on the floor next to that hair dryer. Now... obviously I'd watched WAY too many cartoons with the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. I dunno what kinda supersmart mice I thought I was dealing with.
There was another one, but I can't remember it. =( Check this entry (if you care to) 'cause eventually that badboy is gonna come back to me.
