Well,I’m still kinda in my childhood but…
One was were I went to one of my friends birthday parties. But it was like,the best birthday party I ever went to. One thing I loved about it was my friend who hosted the party lives in a HUGE house. We played Guitar Hero,had games,pillow fights,watched movies,and the party also got a little emotional at one point. But we swore never to talk about it. It was a blast. I actually cried when I had to leave. It was the funniest party I’ve ever been to.

EDIT:800th post!

Aw, reminicing on old memories. This is actually a great topic for us who aren’t kids anymore.

I still remember still having that not care attitude, being able to sing outside while swinging on the swings and not care who heard. Now, singing outside? Not gonna happen.

Oh man, the days before my cousin started going down the wrong path, when we would create up dance moves to Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears songs. We would always stay the night at my grandmas house, and I used to look up to my cousin as if she was the coolest person in the world. Now? She wouldn’t be a good role model for anyone anymore.

Oh, all the old cartoons, back when Rugrats and the Wild Thornberries were around, and Spongebob was putting out good episodes. I wish those shows were still around. Now we have stuff like this new Fanboy and Chum Chum, which is really bad if you ask me.

I miss my childhood badly. I don’t wanna say that I hate being a teenager, but I just miss the old days. Sure it wasn’t all that long ago, but I miss that innocence. Now, I’m stuck between childhood and womanhood, wanting to grow up, but not wanting to let go.

Don’t really have a favorite moment in my childhood to think of right now (nothing specific anyway) but it’ll come back to me later.

Man I really miss childhood. Some advantages of growing up are the great feeling that you can handle more things by yourself. But I hate puberty, honestly. And I want to play pretend with friends again (we still can, but it’s more awkward now with some). Not to mention school obviously gets tougher, and you leave behind playing games in school and all that fun stuff… :frowning: I’m writing a book about that.

It’s the Age of Not Believing…
Sorry for getting dramatic there…

Ah, the good old days! Gotta love 'em!

I remember I had disneyland passes twice I think and I had Knott’s Berry Farm passes 4 times think, so a good portion of childhood memories are at Disneyland or Knott’s. I loved going there! I still do, but I don’t ride the same rides or do the same stuff there. I remember being terrified of Roller Coasters until I was maybe 8 years old, then I got over it and I rode pretty much anything (also, I think that’s when I went to Magic Mountain for the first time, so nothing really lived up to those coasters). Other than amusement parks, I remember riding bikes with my cousin and brother around my grandma’s neigherhood (thinking back on that, it probably wasn’t the greatest idea, not a great neighorhood) but still good times. Oh, and I remember getting A Bug’s Life on VHS for my birthday. I loved that movie to death. Then I broke my leg when I was 12 (I wasn’t a teen yet), but yeah, had my cast on for about 4 months, then another 2 months to get used to walking again, than I didn’t lose all the weight I gained until recently. Also, 6th grade was the best school year of my life!

So yeah, just an overview of my childhood right there.

Surprisingly, I remember when my brother was born. I even remember what SHIRT I was wearing, and not from seeing the photos. But I remember going through the hallway into my parents’ room (all three of us were born at home :slight_smile: ) and sitting nest to my mom and seeing wee Kyle. I don’t, however, remember the results of me eating waay too many prunes prior to that XD

Hm.

As lame as this is (considering it’s a Pixar forum and all…) one of my happiest/fondest memories was the day my parents took me to go see Toy Story 2. They used to do this thing where they would be like “Let’s go for a drive!” And I’d get in the car not knowing where we were going.
I remember falling asleep on the ride there, then they woke me up when we were at the mall. We walked in, and at this theater, you could go in the lobby and look at all the posters without buying your ticket, so I ran to look at the Toy Story 2 poster in there. My mom came up to me a minute later holding up tickets for it, and I was so. stoked. I don’t know why I remember that so well, but I do…

Other then that? Dancing like a spaz to NSYNC and Britney on the radio, playing Orphanage with my neighbor. My backyard had a huge hill, and a mini forest/clearing at the bottom, so all the neighborhood kids would get together and play Survivor. :slight_smile:

Seeing as I’m still young (turning 17 later in the year…) my more recent memories are going to concerts with my best friends - we always have the best car rides down, and then our tradition of going to Sheetz (gas station.) to get food afterwards. :slight_smile:

Aww, nice memories guys. For someone who’s moving away from home in a few months, these childhood memories are very special.

My favourite memories have to be me and my six best friends spending lots of time together, particularly in the summer term at school. I remember the day the whole year went to Thorpe Park, this theme park a couple of hours away, and it was just a great day. I’m even looking at a photo of us all there that’s on my noticeboard.

And behind me on the other wall is this massive banner that my friends made for me a few years ago, which declares ‘I HEART MR. TREACHER!’ (my old physics teacher who I used to fancy to bits. :laughing:) To this banner I’ve stuck lots of bits and bobs from things I’ve done over the years, so I’ve got a postcard of the Tall Ship I sailed on when I was 16 in our trip around the Caribbean, and lots of rude doodles made in science when we all weren’t paying attention, and tickets from gigs and comedy nights that my friends and I went to, all that sort of stuff.

Still, I’ve got a lot to look forward to in the future, as I’m sure we all have. So I’m going to keep adding to that banner!

Any time spent with my childhood cats. I miss them so much.

My fondest memories… listening to my dad’s casette-tape recordings of bedtime stories (he was always so efficient… must be traits from being an office Manager :stuck_out_tongue:), reading Enid Blyton and Richard Scarry books, watching ‘Kelab Disney Malaysia*’ on Saturday mornings, watching Toy Story, Pocahontas in theatres, Fox and the Hound and The Little Mermaid on VHS, playing Reader Rabbit and A Bug’s Life on Windows 98, cycling in the backyard of my house and in the mosquito-ridden public parks with my siblings, reading Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes and Bone in the Sunday comics and not understanding a word, running away from our dog Shadow and jumping on the ping-pong table, making moats in the sand pit left behind in our yard from renovations, our parents taking us out for a drive and a late-night supper at the nearby coffee shop, hanging out with my friends with our lunch boxes in the school canteen…

Receiving a handwritten goodbye card with a group photo from my friends and hugging my Grade 1 form teacher farewell, saying goodbye to Shadow as he was given away to someone else, moving to Singapore, family trip to Tokyo and Hokkaido during the World Cup, Picadilly Circus in London, Table Mountain in South Africa, buying my first Hawaiian shirt at Waikiki Beach, and seeing Tinkerbell on a zip-wire in Disneyland, Anaheim.

Good times. :slight_smile:

I enjoyed the time we went camping. That was a really fun trip. And I enjoyed crawling around pretending to be some sort of animal all the time. :laughing: Aaand, I really miss the times one my best friends and I played all the time. She moved away though, one of the saddest days of my life. But the most important childhood memory I have was the time I accepted Jesus into my life. I was nine years old. Best thing that ever has and will happen to me.

#11

Playing day in and day out with my lion king dolls. haha. I used to make little romance stories with them and my barbies mixed in. The barbies used to ride on the lions… :open_mouth: oh boy I was a twisted child.

My mom said I used to carry around my subastian doll everywhere and talk to him…she said it took me a long time to give him up…till about kindergarden. :unamused:

Sooooo many fun memories, the main ones (this may be quite long) are

Lots of fun sleepovers, messing around in town,
ermmm veryyy young - watching Toy Story, Pinocchio,101 Dalmatians etc when i was like 5 was the fun years looking back :smiley:

Call of Duty 4 and FIFA 08 on 360 live were the days :cry:

Basically all of high school,
Rowing machine competiton in the changing rooms,
My friends doing parkour around the flats outside of the school, whislt my and about 14 others played football, which were just fun games.
Year 10 in I.T, enough said. <3 (if i went into detail i would be writing a novel, plain and simple, the teacher let us do anything, and the rebels and the funny people = perfect combo)
Just everyday at school near enough :cry: Thooooose were the days…

Outside of school,
Playing football, 15 teams two man teams playing cuppies in a the penalty box of a sunday league pitch :slight_smile:
MANHUNT (hide and seek in bushes) everyydayyy <3, in huge parks (aces size, in waist high grass, lie down in it, and there was atleast 16 of us, getting chased through bumpy surfaced-waist high grass)

Hmmm aged 14/15, January in waist high HUGE (seriously some stretched atleast 60-70 yards puddles … very waterlogged, in the north of England, as the night was coming kind of, it was going dark anyway so to say it was cold was abit of an understatement o.O , ermmmm about 14 of us playing tig, chasing each other swimming through them, jumping in them, through each other in them, playing rugby in them (one of them was 6’4 tall haha it was so funny), sliding about 8-10 meters ont belly in the ankle high waters, ermm everything basically just fooling and jumping around in them, played football/soccer there, for about an hour atleast, literally dripping head to toe. thankfully i wasn’t in the extreme of it :smiley: like the rugby, played everything else though like the football, races in them (waist high :smiley:) but still drenched. It was just SO FUN :smiley:. We were all in hoodies and stuff to try and be warmer but it just weighed down alot which was arkward walking 15-20 mins home at night cold :confused: But honestly, it’s the most fun i’m ever going to have so i’m going to cherish it :slight_smile:

And with family,
just holidays and stuff really, not the funnest in the world.

Maannnn i’d do anything to be in high school again :frowning: (as i’ve probably said before)

#13

Oh I consider up to leaving high school, age 15-16 to be childhood, or a child btw ^

#14

When I first saw a Pixar film…it was glorious. The colors, the relatable characters, the fact that my little mind could process such a feeling and easy slippage of mind into fantasy. The fact that I had no idea Andy wasn’t real actually made me sad. Why did you have to go, Andy? Why?! :cry:

#15

What movie was it?

*I remember playing with my dog Earnhardt.

*I remember going to work with my dad in the vineyards

*Playing Indians with my sister

*When my brother was born

*Watching Monsters, Inc and/or Ice Age every day

*Going to school

#16

Toy Story.

#17

Amen to that dude. Too bad my childhood has come and gone so fast. but hey, I can still feel like a kid.

#18

Yup…I know how you feel.

#19

I’m only 12, and I don’t wanna grow up at all. I wanna hang out with my parents forever and play around forever. My childhood has been great and I don’t wanna let go to it ever.

#20

^ That’s exactly what I feel like. I just want to be a little kid forever and never have anything change. But I’m almost 16 now, and that’s still young, but it feels old to me. I feel like I’m five still though :slight_smile:

-I miss when everything just seemed magical. Like, how I didn’t understand how the sun and the moon would change and I came up with my own little theories in my head which were a lot cooler than the real thing. I can still picture it.

-watching Scooby Doo when I came home from half day Kindergarden everyday with my PB&J :smiley:

-listening to “Let’s Get Down to Business” from Mulan and dancing around the room with my brothers.

-not having plans for the day and just lazing and dreaming and playing outside.

-going on the boardwalk and sitting on my dad’s shoulders until my legs fell asleep :slight_smile:

I miss this </3
