Embarrassing, there's a lot I did as a child that I'm ashamed of now
Forgettable, thankfully I don't remember much of it but what I do it tends to be the above
Playstation, first console I owned which would set me up for a long and happy adolescence of games

Seriously. Fucking. Awesome.

We weren't exactly rich but I never wanted for anything. I was an only child but I always had a good group of friends to play My Little Pony or Barbies with.

Innocent - I was oblivious to pretty much everything in the world. I knew some of its dangers, some of its glory. But it wasn't until my 20s that I started to see the world for what really is. (and there probably still is surprises)

Lonely - I had 2 friends in my entire 12 years of school. I was painfully alone.

Curious - I was intrigued and curious by everything. I wanted to know how everything worked, how everything felt (like friends, companionship, and love you perverts :p), our past and our future.

Oh boy! I wanna try this game!!

Paradoxical - I was an early bloomer in that I wanted a girlfriend when I was stupid-young. I had a couple of childhood lady friends and had my first kiss at some point between 8 and 10 (I know, I have a bad memory). The paradox being that despite an early success, I was actually really shy around my female peers.

Nintendo - Although I had experience with the Game Gear and Atari, mine was a Nintendo household. Sure, we eventually grabbed a Playstation and 2 but my favorite systems always started with the letter N (including the Gameboy since it's the Nintendo Game-Boy). If not for games and gaming I would be a much different (and likely more productive) person.

Anger - Because of my Mom and Dad getting divorced and my Mom re-marrying...and my Dad being arrested and, my Step-Dad being a dick to me as a kid and whatnot...Granted, I didn't really fall to the Dark Side. I kind of stayed Grey though; snarky as hell and somewhat rebellious but only really getting into two or three physical fights. I got over the fighting thing obviously but some of the snark remained.

So there we go: my childhood is a deconstructed Pan (Ha!)

Error: Archive Corrupted.

Honestly, I've forgotten most of it. I can still tap into a few of the good feelings when I need the nostalgia, but I can't put much of it in context or recall anything precisely.

It's like, I can remember playing war out in the woods, lying behind a snowdrive and watching the road, but I can't recall when it was or what I was doing in school at the time or how the rest of the day went. It's more of a feeling, or rather the echo of a feeling. It's like my happyplace.

One odd detail is that most people's childhood-echoes and happyzone is set in the summer. The majority of mine are set in the winter.

I'm sure there was many things I hated about being a kid, but most of the negative echoes have disappeared. Although I still try to remember that detail, because I promised myself that I would remember that when I became an adult.

I don't really like thinking about my childhood.

Romantic: ah, how I used to dream of love. It was rather pathetic, in retrospect.

Misanthropic: well, right up till I taught myself to read on Calvin and Hobbes anthologies around age 3. a few years and several hundred books later I was a cute little 6 year-old misanthrope.

Depressing: I was a depressing little fatalistic bastard. Got bored with things fast. Classes, Ideas, people. I was quite apathetic. still am, really, just more mentally broken now.
