A Short Trip Through Time

I never fail to find a new way to procrastinate. My new obsession? Looking up things from my childhood on Ebay (and getting distracted by looking for my love, who goes by the name of Shelby). Remember any of these?

Pikachu N64

I can’t say that I actually had or even remember the pikachu N64, but I definitely do remember spending hours on my N64 playing some pretty embarrassing games I’m not going to mention here (except Pokemon Snap, that was pure awesome, especially when you could go to Blockbuster and print out your pictures). I bid on one of these yesterday, but the price went over my “I’ll only play it a few times probably” threshold. For some reason, part of me still thinks this is the coolest thing ever. I was always one to love special edition consoles.

Crazy Bones

I really don’t know what the allure of these things was. I think it was the pack rat in me that just needed to have all of them. Feeling them inside the package, opening up the package with the crinkling sound, dropping out a few coloured plastic characters on the table, and seeing which ones you got was for some reason pretty satisfying. Especially when you get one of the rare ones in your favourite colour. Until you accidentally throw it away with your lunch one day. I’m currently trying to get my hands back on one to fill that purple eggy sized hole in my heart.

Harold and the Purple Crayon

Whenever anyone asks me, “What’s your favourite book?” this is what I respond with and I always get a puzzled look. I’m not a novel type of person, I really don’t even like reading. Maybe because I have a crazy weird imagination that they’re just not engaging enough. Anyways, as mentioned above, my favourite colour was purple, so when I got my hands on this book, it became my favourite. Basically, Harold creates his own world by drawing with his purple crayon. It’s a children’s book, but I still think it’s pretty awesome.
