When I was a kid we made forts. We played outside. We used our imagination. When it rained, we stayed inside and played board games, we played indoor hide and go seek, we recorded farts on cassette recorders ( maybe that was just MY family) .
When I was a kid, I didn't pride myself on having the latest Playstation 2 game....I prided myself on having the ONLY colored barbie doll in the neighborhood (thanks to my cousin C for that one).While kids NOW are sitting inside with their eyes fixated on the TV screen, trying to get to the next level of their video game, I would be outside making a STEW out of flowers and weeds, and making my sister TASTE it. Now THAT was some good ole FUN!
While kids NOW are downloading the latest songs to their IPOD, I would be making a scrapbook of Duran Duran, along with witty comments next to the pictures.
While kids NOW are commenting on each other's MYSPACE, I would be writing the latest entry in my best friends ongoing fictional novel about Duran Duran, where WE were the fictional girlfriends of them......And maybe it is because technology has come so far, but it's sad to see them not using their imaginations (except for the record fart thing, that was pure dipshitness, but FUN!) Maybe I am just being nostalgic...........
Now I feel old.....Now I want to find my old Lincoln Logs, and build a house for my cockateil.......lmao!
Kerrie OUT!

Hey, e-mail me your new numbers. I tried calling your cell and got a very monotone military-type guy instead. I said, "Dan?" He said, (monotone, a la Chuck) "This is Bill." Then I said, "Is this area code 978-XXX-XXXX?" He goes (again, think CHUCK), "This is Bill Petrowsky."
P.S. I forgot the name but it was something like that. LOL.
