Growing up sucks
January 20, 2010
After reading a thread on TheB9 about naming 5 things you miss about being a kid, I decided I’d just make a list of whatever came to mind. Feel free to add. Picture is stolen from Torian. I thought it was weird that this thread came up considering I was just stressing on turning 22 this year. You know, when you have to accept more responsibility and shit like that. Whatever, growing up sucks.
- Oregon Trail and Sim City on library day.
- The anxiety of having to choose between regular or chocolate milk, even though you knew which you’d get.
- Nicktoons, ala Hey Arnold!, Angry Beavers, Rugrats, and Rocko’s Modern Life.
- Wearing pajamas to the school winter music program.
- Having your parents record every single event on a video camera.
- Goldeneye on N64.
- Getting everywhere on your bike.
- Going with my mom to Old Navy to buy cargo pants and performance fleeces.
- Playing football in the street and yelling ‘car’ when one was coming up.
- Snackpacks.
- Twisting ketchup packets and throwing them on the ground to explode.
- Buying bomb bags from the ice cream truck.
- Seeing who owned your book from last year cause you had to write in the cover your name, condition received, and condition returned.
- Playing in organized sports — CYO, YMCA, etc.
- Scrambled porn on TV.
- Surge.
- Having shoes with velcro and your favorite superhero on the side.
- Summer.
- SLAM books.
- Going to the SF International Auto Show with my dad.
- Getting dropped off at Border’s because you didn’t want your friends to see your parents drop you off.
- Getting a cake with whatever you were into printed on it.
There’s much more, I’m sure I am missing stuff. Feel free to add!
