#nostalgia asks

[starrybluez]

for the nostalgia asks ✨: homesick, memory lane, mother's kiss, grin, laughing, park benches, juicebox, memory lane no. 2, dandelion 🩷

Thank you dear! 💙 Finally finished these now!

family: if you could spend a day with anyone in the world, who would you choose? homesick: what is ‘home’? memory lane: best childhood mem

Homesick: What is "home"?

That's a tough question! "Can't Find My Way Home" is a song that often pops up in my head when I hear the word "home". I think it can be different places. There's my own apartment of course, but nothing compares to my childhood home that I grew up in. It wasn't the most attractive looking place with it's outdated decor, 70's wall paneling and wallpaper and funky mismatched furniture...but that would be where I really consider home. 🏡

Memory Lane: Best Childhood Memory

I have a number of great childhood memories, so I don't know if I could choose a "best". One would be creating and drawing in the dining room and in my room upstairs, both at my old house. Another would be visiting my nana - the smells of her home, eating her delicious baked macaroni and sitting in her cozy living room that always had a dish filled with Andes mints. Then there's some of our vacations, which include going to Amish County, visiting the lake and the beach. ⛱️

Mother's Kiss: Comfort item.

Well, now it would probably be my recliner, which must surely make me sound about 90 years old. 😂 Also hot chocolate or most kinds of chocolate really! 🍫 When I was younger, I think it was the cat pillow at my nana's home. 🐈

Oh, also these:

Grin: What was the last thing that made you smile - really smile?

I don't normally say this about baby pictures, but yes, someone just sent a group text with their baby smiling and it was the cutest thing 💕

Laughing: Best joke?

I'm not sure if I have any jokes of my own. But here's a favorite dad joke (maybe not quite knee-slappers, but I like 'em): "It's inappropriate to make a dad joke if you’re not a dad. It’s a faux-pa." 🤓

And here's a picture of some dads laughing...

And then there's this one:

Park Benches: Favorite hobby to do w/friends?

Visiting cool sculpture gardens - I like that art & nature combo. Another would be doing karaoke, but none of my friends seem to jump at this opportunity 😅

Jukebox or Juicebox? 🤔:

Well, if someone holds the jukebox for me and there's some good old tunes on there, I'd probably be happy to drink it. Juiceboxes might taste better though. 🥸

Memory Lane #2: One thing you hope to accomplish that you'd be proud of in the future?

I've been wanting to publish a book of my photos and blog posts for years (not my Tumblr blog posts lol - different blog!) ✍️

Dandelion: Two colors you like best together?

Blue and purple 🌌

[real-jane]

I just started reading chapter9 and had to pause because of "McNuggets", I don't know why it's so funny but I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I got to that part xD

Hahaha!! You’re now the second person to mention that line. That’s all I think about when I see ‘trendy’ baby names! That and the baby announcement:

Jenny and Brad Davis are proud to announce the birth of

McNugget Eloise Davis

Memory Lane and Mother’s Kiss. :)

mother’s kiss: what’s your comfort item?

imma be honest, its really sorta dumb lol

when i was younger, four or five, my parents and i would often do “family nights” in which we’d color in coloring books and id pin up the finished colorings on my wall. i lost mostly all of them, i have only one now, and i cant even remember if it was my mom or dad that colored it, but its a little christmas tree with presents underneath it. the page is yellow and the colors are dull from it being there for so long, the paper is ripped up and bent, but just looking at it makes me feel both sad and happy 

,, i also have a couple pictures of my dad and i from when i was like 2 but i dont count them as comfort bc i just wanna cry when i see em fkljgsdlfkg

memory lane: best childhood memory?

ah i have so many i dunno if i can choose just one !!

how deep into childhood we going? like, pre-teen age or pre-pre-teen age ???

well, i cant remember all too far back, so.. we’ll go with a memory from a few years ago and im not entirely sure on my age, i think i was 13? 13 or 12, i dont know, and its really uneventful lol

my family (on my dad’s side) had this sorta tradition up until this story, in which we’d go on a trip to Boyne Mountain Resort in Michigan and stay for a week in one of the condos. And it’s soo fun, theres arcades and shops and pools and a water park and other small, outside parks, and the condos themselves are amazing- but thats besides the point lol

The last trip, this story, is the last time we ever went, and it’s probably the best trip there. 

My family is big, and we usually take 2-3 vehicles to carry us all places, so its a bit of a hassle to get everyone situated- so when we go to Meijer or something for just quick shopping, usually, not everyone goes.

The group in this trip consists of my grandma, two of my aunts, me, my brother, and five of my cousins. my grandma wanted to go to Meijer for food since we were running low and had to stock up for snacks, and she had asked who wanted to go with her.

The only ones who decided to stay were me, and two cousins.

i would have gone, but hell, that group was huge just going to a store and i finally got to be away from my brother so i stuck behind with my two favorite cousins, win-win yknow lol

so, since i was like, 12-13, my female cousin 9-10, and my male cousin 15-16, he was in charge. and it was gREAT

we technically weren’t supposed to be home alone so my grandma made a rule so that all the curtains had to be closed and we had to make as little noise as possible, and we decided hey, its pitch black in this possibly haunted condo, and were home alone and surrounded by food. hide and seek

now, both my female cousin and i are fucking stupid. we cant see anything right in front of our faces with the lights on. and my male cousin is a genius and sneaky as hell. best possible combo

so my female cousin was it, i hide under a table, she caught me like after 5 seconds, we ate an entire bag of cheetos and like five fruity suckers, and then finally decided to look for our male cousin

and in these condos are like, two rooms. they both have a living room, kitchen, and bathroom, and the smaller one has a single bedroom whereas the bigger one has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. so we thought, hes probably hiding in the big room right??

so we search both bedrooms. and both bathrooms. and the kitchen. and the living room. 

cant find him

so

second room, then

we hunt the second room. he wasnt in the living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom- or even the closets. 

and we were like well what the hell, not allowed to use the lights so what do?

we gave up

and started playing the xbox

eventually forget about him and so when we heard the chair squeak from the kitchen, we immediately start to freak out because holy shit this place is haunted

so we like, try to pretend we didnt hear anything, obviously

and then this fUCKING ASSHOLE

THROWS A CHAIR OUT AND CRAWLS FROM UNDER THE TABLE AND LUNGES AT US

WERE TRYING NOT TO SCREAM BC WE CANT MAKE NOISES BUT FKJGHDFLK ITS SO HARD WHEN A MAN BEAST IS LUNGING AT YOU AND YOURE TRYING NOT TO LOSE YOUR MIND

anyway we hit him in the face with a pillow and he forced his way into our video game session and my grandma came back (a few hours later than planned, cause apparently they got horribly lost) to the entire place a wreck

it was fantastic

Nostalgia Asks

Hey PS!! Hope you’re doing well :) for the nostalgia asks, memory lane, rose-colored goggles, and Disney! Thanks :)

Hey PS! I just saw that memory lane is written twice in the post. I meant the “what’s your favorite childhood memory” one :)

Hey @rainbow-waterfalls :)

memory lane: best childhood memory?

I can’t think of anything huge or particularly momentous. Little things like pillow forts in the living room and sleepovers with my cousins :)

rose-coloured goggles: what’s one risk you took that ended up being completely worth it?

Applying for my current job! I applied on a whim, was completely surprised when I was invited to interview, and then completely forgot about it so it was super awkward when they called to offer it to me.  

disney: favourite disney movie?

Aladdin!

✨ 25 nostalgia asks

mixtape, disney

mixtape: what’s the name of your favourite playlist? I have a playlist called “Darling, Stand By Me” that I made for my Duke fic that I still haven’t finished, but I love that playlist (it’s kind of a trash fire now because I add random stuff now)

disney: favourite disney movie? I literally have so many… Peter Pan, Mulan, Lilo & Stitch, Beauty and the Beast, Lion King are all top winners, though
