100 Things - pt1
Long posts here are usually rants or complaints or lame attempts at reviews. How about something positive? Inspired by 100 THINGS WORTH DOING, I give you "100 Fond Memories & Good Things" -- Pt. 1.
- That green velour shirt Mom got me when I was 4. It felt good and I felt I looked good in it.
- Sitting upside down in the backseat of the car with my X-Men comics while on a Sunday drive.
- Cuddling with Marmy in the backseat of a car while driving back from Louisbourg, even before we were officially dating. She's still the best damn cuddler I know.
- The first time I opened a D&D box, I was mystified and excited about experiencing something I knew had so much more potential than the boardgames Risk and Monopoly I was currently playing.
- Puppy smell. I slept for a week with a puppy on my chest every night. I don't know what that smell is but it is good memories to me.
- Fruit Wars. A friend and I, in about grade 4, drew sheets of fruits & veggies having a war with sweets & candies. I can remember the glee of coming up with creative ways for them to wreck each other like muffins rolling watermelons off cliffs and grapes smashing candy canes. Today, a kid would be carted off to the psychologist for such violent imagery but then I was just seen as creative.
- Yellow lollipops. I don't know why but I only like yellow.
- Getting my mom to draw stuff for me. In my early years, i knew my mom was a frustrated artist who had to spend more times around her kids then her drawing. So I would get her to draw things for me and marvel at the stuff that came from her pencils.
- Dad & oak sawdust. Dad was a carpenter and the best smelling cut wood was oak.
- Rabbit runs. At my littlest, I loved to crawl through the rabbit runs in the woods behind my house. I could get quite the steam up crawling through pretending to be chased by ogres. I always got away.
