ooOOOoOoOo i answered a question like this about a year and a half ago so i’ll try to write about some different things hmmm
Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood
my parents were divorced when i was maybe three or four (i remember) but until high school i would see/stay with them about equally. they would alternate days and weekends of who would pick me up from school/daycare
i was raised on pc games until like 97 or 98 when pokemon blew up and i got a playstation a while after that too & my mom remarried and they had a nintendo 64
at my dad’s house we watched star wars and played wolfenstein 3d at my mom’s we watched grease and dumb & dumber that’s all u need to know
in summer 99 i became obsessed with legend of zelda ocarina of time and i met another kid named will who was a year older than me and shared my passion. we quickly became best friends and spent the summer going on adventures all over the compound and on the field trips with him as older link and myself as younger link. it was great too because the place had a track in the woods and pools that we considered lake hylia, that sort of thing. i only saw him once again a year or two later but by that time i wasn’t going to the Y any more. a few years later i found him on myspace/facebook but he didn’t seem to remember me but that could have been the drugs so
my first two CDs were blink-182’s enema of the state and smash mouth’s astro lounge. from wal-mart and k-mart, respectively
when i was 9 or 10 i started hanging out with kids that were in middle school and they corrupted me / i got in with them because i had strategy guides for link’s awakening and pokemon and had knowledge
i was a boy scout for a few years and one of my favorite memories is one fall when we went camping for one night at horse pens 40. when it got good and dark and chilly the lot of us drove up into it pretty far to a field where a few astronomers had their equipment all set up and let us look through their telescopes and taught us a bit about what we were seeing. the only thing i remember is being out in a wide open space breathing in the most invigorating life giving air imaginable and looking up and being in complete stupid awe of what i saw. it was far enough away from everything for there to be little to no light pollution and the natural night sky i cannot even begin to describe. pictures are beautiful but it’s overwhelming in real life and you could fall into it just standing there. it’s not even close. i’ve wanted to go back there or somewhere else similar and just stay and gaze for hours and maybe have some music (like flaming lips at war witht he mystics esp most of the middle tracks vein of stars/ cosmic autumn rebellion/ etc) or psychedelics and that used to be a part of my plan but i’d be happy enough silent and sober with a special person. i’ve been wanting to do it since 2007 but it just never happened and i eventually forgot about wanting to do it for years until just a day or two ago when i started thinking about it again and i am aching for it. everyone should see it at least once. it’s practically a part of us
