Some of those are so true though. I remember how I used to be so impatient for our Christmas tree to be ordered, so that we could decorate it, and set up our toy train around it. This year, I didn't care. We used to get up early Christmas morning, but not anymore.

Sitting in the front seat of the car used to be SUCH a privledge, and now I'm DRIVING the car.

Chucky Cheese's used to be amazing, and now I'm disgusted by it.

Sometimes the realizations you come to as you get older are just no fun.

MTV and VH1 don't even play music anymore. And we no longer have the Box, which used to play music videos twenty four hours a day. We used to beg our parents to let us call in and order a video. They usually said no, but they did let us do it one time. But that channel is long gone now.

And see, even thinking about Red Rover is kind of sad, because now it's banned in a lot of places because parents freak out if the kids get their feelings hurt, or physically hurt from it.

I don't get the channels or know half the shows you're talking about.

You missed out Sarah.

Though it is a little late, 'IT'S MORPHING TIME' almost made me pee myself. I don't think I'll ever be able to see that picture or that part of the movie again without thinking of him as a power ranger.

Topdoggeh, if you find any info about the Hollins University signing, tell me because I cannot find anything on it!

I've missed out on a lot of things.

WWould it bee too much for the venue in SF for the Anthony concert to advertise whether thay are wheelchair accessible or not? It shoulldn't be a mystery.

I think most people don't know what The Box was. Maybe it was a Louisiana thing. I miss it though!

[Silence = Death]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:21am

I tried to play Red Rover in 10th grade and we weren't allowed to because a kid broke their arm playing it, apparently. So we played Mother May I? instead. We were extremely immature. Er, ARE extremely immature.

The only thing that I've been able to find out is the day that the Hollins thing is on. All of the other listings have times, at least. *shrug* I'll keep looking and I'll tell you if I find anything and you do the same. :-P WE WILL BREAK THE CODE! *done*

There was just a commercial for Power Rangers Mystic Force, lol.

Katt, my beach house had The Box. Maybe it's a Southern thing?

I work in a daycare. I can't tell you how nice it is to go back to a world where finding a lost binky before naptime is the most important task of the day.

I think I remember The Box...it was some obscure channel...like 73 or something. This was before it was normal to have 300 channels.

Red Rover!! We played that religiously. Loved it.

[Katt]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:28am

Maybe so. I was so sad when that channel went off the air.

I guess I just miss things being simpler. Although being little wasn't always easy, especially when you got left out of things.

But...I miss how the little things could make you happy, you know? People expect more now. Simple toys aren't good enough. Now they have to talk. Nintendo's simple graphics aren't good enough, they now have to look completely realistic. No one has VCRs now...it's all DVD players. I remember when someone having a TV in there car was SO cool, and now it's pretty normal. Having a cell phone was a big deal, but now it's okay to talk on them all the time. And people just seem to get stupider, ruder, and trashier with each passing year, especially celebrities.

I've never heard of the Box...

[Silence = Death]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:30am

No, I didn't find a time. I meant that all the other signings had times, except for the Hollins one. Sorry for the false hope, lol. BUT WE WILL FIND IT! EVEN IF WE HAVE TO STORM HOLLINS OURSELVES!!! MWHAHA!

*cough*

I mean...Red Rover. Now, thats a good game! *looks around* But it probably was good that we stopped being able to play it because I was always the really slow runner who was just short enough to get hit in the face by everyones arms. Oh, the good times of childhood.

Edit: And the Box can't be a complete southern thing because I've lived in a lot of southern states *unfortunately* and I've never heard of it.

I want to go to a signing.

Life is so simple in my town. It's kind of weird. There are still households without televisions.

(I completely forgot how to spell the word television. Did I do it right?)

Give me Duck Hunt and the Original Mario over whatever new X-Box game there is any day of the week and I'll be satisfied.

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:34am

I still have Duck Hunt and the original Mario, I refuse to buy anything else.

[Katt]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:35am

So those are the only games you have if you refuse to buy anything else?

[secondstar05]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:35am

I want to go to a signing, too, CS. *sulks*

Ah, McDonalds... That food litterally makes me gag, lol. I don't know why, it's just like pure greasy crap.

I buy it only for the toys, not the food XD We have a massive collection of those toys in the booth of the auditorium of our school.


Sometimes the realizations you come to as you get older are just no fun.
I had some of those realizations too early. I remember being really young and going up to my mom and saying, "I know you're the tooth fairy, so can I have my money now?"

O_O


At my school no one bothered with 4 square, we all did Kickball and Red Rover until it was banned.

And I love all of Nintendo's old games. "DUCK HUNT DRIVE BY!" <--- from a hilarious drama club improv scene that involved Nintendo toy guns.

Check out www.emogame.com , they have purposely badly pixelated and unrealistic games and I love it because it reminds me of old video games.

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:36am

well I also have like th really old ninja turtle ones and stuff but yeah thats pretty much it. lol

Did anyone else love the Garbage Pail Kids? XD I had Cabbage Patch and Garbage Pail...

[secondstar05]

Posted: 2/12/06 at 1:38am

CPK <3

I loved Cabbage Patch Kids. I had this one that literally went EVERYWHERE with me.

Garbage Pail Kids... not so much.
