A walk down memory lane.(Part One) Ignore spelling errors...Im typing as I think.
I have been given
One moment from heaven
As I am walking
Surrounded by night,
Stars high above me
Make a wish under moonlight.
On my way home
I remember
Only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I’m on my way home
I can remember
Every new day.
I move in silence
With each step taken,
Snow falling round me
Like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight.
Today on my way home I started thinking more in depth about childhood, growing up, becoming an adult, and so on.
My earliest memory back is when I was three, now I don't really know if I remember it because I actually remember it, or I remember it because it has been a talked about event ever since I was three. At any rate, I'd like to think I remember being at disney world, air blowing through my piggy tales as I fly through the air on an elephant with extra large ears. My first real memory, the trip that ultimately was the demise of my final binkey. I don't remember much about living in Royal Oak or on the lake, all I know is that we got Charm, our golden retrevier around that time, she was about the same age as me... I was always bragging that my puppy was as old as I was. I remember that was before Great-Grandma Masserang had any real problems. It's all kind of a blur... I remember my sister Tracey lived with us in a room, right after Hannah was like 1 or so, so that would have made me about 3 and a half. I remember Ortonville more. I remember Charm going into heat and eating her diapers, and playing "Ha Cha Cha and a bottle of Rum" with Grandma Masserang (this game involved her and I doing a silly dance in the livingroom through the breezeway, through the dining room and back into the living room.), this was after she had her stroke, and a manic depressive attack, she got better, and re-gained her laugh, her awsome heardy belly laugh... I loved her so much. I remember playing with my blocks...they were the primary colors, my favorite block was the one shaped like a bridge...but I could never fit it into anything because it was so oddly shaped. I remember once grandma was mad at me and trying to repremand me, but I would push on my ear drums until they made a high pitched humming noise, and I would tell her that I couldnt hear her. I remember playing outside with Jake..the snake. I remember school and being in love with the kid named Jacob Baker, I remember Jake The Snake peeing in our woods. I remember climbing trees, making Tess eat sand out of my sand box because Auntie Karen told me it had vitamins in it. I remember putting on tap shoes and dancing to Michael Jackson. I remember learining how to ride a bike... a yellow banana seat bike... I never had training wheels... I just wiped out and have a scar on my shin to remind me of that... learned real quick. I remember getting chicken pox in the summer, and being pissed because I couldnt play, but then there was a bad storm and we had to make bath water in a big stock pot on the grill. I remember having a brother, he used to wrestle with me on my little twin bed, and tickle me... I would get so mad at him. I remember talking to the angles in my walls. I remember seeing monsters in my basement. I remember learning how to kiss with this girl named Erica... I remember telling my kindergarden teacher someone smelled like shit, then I snuck out of the room on my hands & knees and ran down the hall, there were some highschoolers in the building and they were being silly and told me I looked 20 years old. I remember the power going out in the school and us playing "bloody mary" in the bathrooms. I remember making fishbowls out of 2 liter pop bottles we all got zebra fish, mine's name was princess, because I was probablly a fairy princess for 80% of my halloweens, my mom made me a pretty shiny purple dress... loved it. I remember going over to Chelsea Appeling's house and haivng a crush on her neighbor. I remember some girl names Brianna, I was pissed at her because she had part of my name, and she tried to steal my friend. I remember my mom learning about Jahova Witness. I remember being fascinated with meditation, I thought if you did it for long enough you could float... I still don't know. I remember climbing the big rock out front. I remember Kari's vollyball games & giving her hugs. I remember kicking her friend in the balls. I remember swearing at her friends on the phone, she's the one that taught me dirty words. I remember helping her make her glow in the dark posters for the new kids on the block concert. I remember her hamster Josephein, named after Joey from NKOTB. I remember her water bed, and her posessed television that would burp at me...scary shit man. I remember clowns...scary scary clowns. I remember getting kittens and them suckeling on charm. I remember my swimming pool. I remember my patio. I remember lemonade stands during garage sales. I remember sledding down the big hill in the front yard, we had a plastic sled, a taboggon, and a old fashond sled with runners on it, was grandpa max's. I remember thinking there was a giant, and it was going to get me as I was walking home from the bus stop, I think that was around the time Jurassic Park came out.I remember getting upset because I thought my parents were alcoholics...they were just going to their class reunion, I told my teacher they were alcoholics... I remember Kari's giant stuffed unicorn. I remember my mom & dad wanting to move, they went down to North Carolina, I was so jealous Kari got to go, I had to stay home and go to school. I stayed at Arlien's house. I remember playing on their tire swing and being stung 7 times in the face by wasps. I remember not moving to Carolina, but moving to Sylvania instead....
