my favourite memory as a kid is walking through the 5 feet of snow in the winter, then later that summer, i always went camping near Drumheller, AB.

and moving to Argentina when i was 8. That has got to be like, my best year ever. :mrgreen:
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.

...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

Yay :D

In Byker Grove? Or Saturday morning tv?
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

Nikki I think it was called Man-Hunt.

And I thought the name of this thread was your breast memories.

And my tree house was my most favourite thing from my Child hood.

[23:21] <nam_kablam> like the chant?
[23:21] <nikki4982> but you had a yard with lots of stuff to hide behind, and everyone would run and hide cept the person who was it, then that person would count down from... i dunno, 20? however long it took for the people to hide... but then the person would slowly walk forward through the yard, and the hiding people would run out when the person who was "it" got close and try to catch them
[23:21] <nikki4982> then there was a place to run back to, and if the person caught them,t hey were it again, otherwise that person was it... i think
[23:21] <nikki4982> something like that
[23:22] <nam_kablam> wow that's confusing
[23:22] <nikki4982> hahaha
[23:22] <nikki4982> it wasn't really
[23:22] <nam_kablam> you guys are weird
[23:22] <nikki4982> just typing it is
[23:22] <nikki4982> that game RULED, though
[23:22] <nikki4982> cos if you were it... as soon as the people ran out at you, it was the most terrifying thing ever
[23:23] <nam_kablam> wow that sounds scary
[23:23] <nikki4982> hahaha it was


:GASP:

reading that over again carefully, i just realized that i've played that game before! it's not like hide and seek!

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Nope!! But we played that, too!!! :mrgreen:

I sort of remember this one had something to do with a graveyard? I'm also thinking the count for when the person who was "it" had to do was hours... like, they counted like "1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, etc" til they got to midnight? Then they'd start walking. I might be mixing up games, though. :think:

Man, I wish I could remember... I used to LOVE this game.

Oh yeah, and it was supposed to be played at night. That's when it was most fun, anyway.

Cept, apparently me and my friends played it weird. :lol: But we had fun, regardless!!! :mrgreen:

I still need to figure out what the cemetery game was that we played, though... cos that was a seperate one that I was just getting confused with Mr. Wolf. :think:

we played a game called cemetery where people had to lie perfectly still, with their eyes open (they were allowed to blink) and we had ghosts that movied in and out of the "bodies" trying to animate them. they'd make faces, or try and stare you out, or try talking or making silly sounds. if you moved or laughed you became a ghaost. i always won at that game. :nod:
