Have you ever,
*BM-BM-BM*
Ever felt like this?
Yeah the show "Round the Twist" was great...well, the first edition of it anyways which ran for about 4 seasons, they had another a few years later which while based on the stories of the same author, Paul Jennings, I found a bit lacking...and every single cast member being replaced just annoyed me.
I'd love to get the original series on dvd.
I remember one episode that cracked me up was when the older brother, Pete, got some kind of curse on him that made him say "without my pants" after every sentence, man...that was some good stuff.
Jennings has written like, 20+ books that are mainly (aside from 3-4) collections of those short stories upon which the series was initially based.
I only found out fairly recently that about 6-7 more have come out since, I'd love to get a collection going on for when I have a kid, well, that and I think they're pretty funny too.
Memories...yeah, I got some stuff...
My German Shepherd dog chomping a deadly spider (Sydney Funnel Web) that was poised to attack me.
Hearing, at 10, that my mother was knocked up - somehow I never strayed in my thoughts that it'd be a boy, and it was.
The first time said little brother tried drinking Coke - this was funny.
Climbing trees...anywhere!
My first rat falling asleep with me
My chick, the one I've still got today some 10+ years later...the whole asking for her number after such nervousness about it to find she'd planned on giving it to me anyway, the "first date" bit, realising that I'd finally met one that didn't seem full of shit and that I just liked spending time with...I'd been alone for a while, and had a bad relationship prior, it was a nice change.
Loud rain on the (first house) tin-roof, might seem chaotic to some, but when you're as young as I was, a funny thing happens - and now, I find nothing more relaxing than the sound of rain on a tin roof, puts me right to sleep.
Quitting pre-school - I would NOT stand for fingerpainting a moment longer
Swapping "lunch orders" with my friend in early primary school.
Arcades - back when they had fun games not just generic racers and street fighter clones...ah, beat 'em ups were the shit!
My dogs, in general...all of 'em...
When I taught myself to "cook" ha, which consisted of me adding things to instant noodles, and making grilled pizza sub type things with tomato paste, cheese and dried oregano...a far cry from today, but I felt accomplished.
Playing baseball at school
Finding frogs down a drainpipe that was next to my place, they were ALWAYS in there, you could just reach down and grab 'em.
Well, that stuff came to mind...
