I used to pretend a lot of things, mainly involving the military trying to overtake my house.

bitches could never make it over my neighbours window, because I'd either only half cock the rifle for rapid snipiung, or cock it the whole way and make it a cannon that had a loud pop.

was I the only dude that played with my jurrasic park veloca raptor from disneyland.

I also slept with him every night.

I'd put his head under my pellow too, and make sure that he was covered up by the blankets.

I think that my parents took him away because they thought i was getting too attatched.

I never really recovered from that heartbreak...well not really heartbreak I just stopped thinking about it.

Yup, it's been a tough 13 months without killer.

k i dunno about the rest of you but i was obsessed with all the new "trends" that kept coming around...like when i was 9 the devil sticks came around...and honestly everyone was playing with them...but since i was a gymnast and didnt have too much of a childhood i didnt know about these 'devil sticks' ahead of time...so by the time i was cool enough to ask my mom to buy them for me i showed up at school fiddling with my devil sticks and everyone was over the devil stick friendly. it was a sad day.

and pogs..oh god...i got in on those things while they were still hot..and my mom bought me this AMAZING slammer..like honestly it shouldn't even be legal. and i always won everyone's pogs. i didnt really make any friends because of that....

tear..

HAHAHAHA


I got pogs banned from my elementary school. I used to smoke kids and then they went and cried to the fucking principal because I played for keeps bitches. (I was the only one with this huge metal slammer).


Yeah I had devil sticks too, and I had a yo-yo when it was cool to have them. The old X-brains.

I'll admit it, I had like 200 beanie babies too.

jeaaa!! i had a little electric 4 wheeler.. i thought it was the best thing EVER. i'd cruise around and give people rides and stuff.

and i was like 7 so of course it went like 3 mph

oh yeah, and my pw50. THAT was friggen ill.

haha oh yeah and i was really psyched when i got my first bike with front and rear brakes on the handlebars.. haha it was such a huge step from the ones where you pedaled backwards to stop
of course the first time i tried those brakes i was going down my yard which is a big hill and i slammed the front brakes instead of the rear brakes..needless to say i experienced my first endo. yehaw!
