Are you nostalgic about your childhood?

[terrya]

[QMPMom]

1. Some of it.

I am nostalgic about the parts before I was 9 years old and my biologocal-so-called-mother went off the deep end mentally. That is when the hell began.

[Inchworm]

2. negative

I dunno if I could do this all over again :D

Well that's what I think when I look back.. I sort through decisions.

:hi:

[ohiosmith]

3. Some portions yes.

[Corgigal]

4. not my childhood

Now my teenaged figure is another thing. Alas...

[dropkickpa]

5. for the most part yes

Of course there were not so great times, but overall I think i had a pretty darn good childhood.

[Dragonbreathp9d]

6. Yes

especially the shows I grew up with: Eureaka's Castle, Rupert, TMNT, Street Sharks, that pirate show, old school Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo, Wonder Years, etc.

I'm 19, so the shows dont go way back :)

7. Childhood, as in under 10? under 18?

Definitely not nostalgic for my high school, or junior high school years. I was painfully shy and often depressed. I had some fun, but that was not the norm.

Under 10, I was still shy, but probably not as aware of everything, so it was not as depressing.

[Rambis]

8. Hell yes

You could ride your bike without a helmut. Play outside until 3pm then come in for a snack of greasy chips and mountain dew while watching Gilligan's island. Then head back out until 10pm to play kick the can or flashlight tag without a worry about pedophiles. Then at 16 you could buy your first 1,000 dollar car that ran with minimal repair costs until you decided to sell it when you went to college.
Great times!

9. Do nightmares count? nt

[TheProphetess]

10. Certain parts of it, yes

Like swimming in our pool until we were so wrinkled you couldn't tell us from a bunch of prunes or catching crawfish in our creek only to throw them back again. Those things were great, as was most of my childhood, but there are parts I'd like to forget.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

11. Some elements, yes...

We took some great summer vacations. And I miss certain family members...especially my first dog. But I don't miss the abuse by other family members or the taunting of classmates in school.

[lost-in-nj]

12. Certain parts

We had alot of kids on my street
and when it rained all the moms would let us wash our hair in it, didn't always work out right but I remember it.
Making a leaf pile and jumping in, or making it into our space ship.
Like someone else mentioned, playing outside till 10 with no worries...
Walking down the street to your friends house with no worries...

Yeah I miss some of it

lost

13. Perhaps with different parents

The ones I had were petty, more concerned with their own egos. It wasn't that bad before the teen years. But I should have twigged onto their anti-intellectualism when they had trouble helping the grade school homework. Once into my teens, I became a threat and the barrage began. Considering the shit I took, I'm surprised I didn't turn out a drunk, druggie or suicide.

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Very much so.

[LaraMN]

15. I am nostalgic about my childhood in the form of:

Sea Wees were the shittest!

[Aristus]

16. Nah. My childhood was all right, but what I'm really nostalgic for is the early 1990's.

That was a cool time to be young and seeing the world.

[1monster]

17. No

[trackfan]

18. Yes

[BarenakedLady]

19. Just the carefree part.

Responsibility sucks sometimes.

[Deja Q]

20. Apart from two memories, I'd rather be free of it.

[redqueen]

23. Exactly...

I was just saying to someone yesterday that I wish they'd really make something like that machine in Eternal Sunshine...

Of course, that was more to do with a co-worker telling me about his restroom activities. (Not true.)

[unpossibles]

21. not especially. I enjoyed parts of my childhood

and I bless my parents for being... well, they meant well.

But overall I am happy with life now and don't believe in looking back, other than to learn from the bad stuff and smile fondly at the good/funny stuff.

Carpe Diem, right?





That does mean "Holy Fish" doesn't it?

[redqueen]

22. GOD no...

:scared:

I went a long time thinking anyone that did was rememebering things wrong. :rofl:

That was before I realized how very very not normal my childhood was. :hi:

[zanne]

24. Definitely

Or maybe I'm just nostalgic about the way I used to feel when I was a child.

[Crabby Appleton]

25. nope - my childhood sucked

[applegrove]

26. I wish I could think of it more often. But am too busy on other things.

[Seashell Eyes]

27. very much so

[ThomCat]

28. Hell no.

[Call Me Wesley]

29. I had a good childhood, very priviledged perhaps.

But I am not nostalgic about it nor am I nostalgic about the past anyway. It's written in stone, and I tend to leave it be like this. My view's on tomorrow's day - this I still can change. The other, not. So now stopping there for me.

:hi:
