Welcome to Gaia! ::

Earlier tonight I stumbled across a thread in the GD about what people loved as a kid. I live for things I grew up with. Heck, I couldn't get rid of any of my favoured toys. Thus I have countless tote buckets (those really big rubbermaid containers) full of toys. 2 of My Little Pony, 4 (or maybe more?) of Barbies, and my action figures could fill another. For action figures I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, She-Ra Princess of Power, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and Princess Guenevere and the Jewel Riders.

I remember the big crazes in toys too. Like Pogs. Wow... I had a LOT of those. Also had a Tamagotchi. Littlest Petshop? Yah, had a couple though my younger sister had a tonne more. And for Cabbage Patch Kids I had 3, one of which had hair you could lengthen or shorten.

Probably my favourite show from back then was She-Ra Princess of Power. I loved her so much. heart She was totally cooler than He-Man, after all.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was another big one for me. I still have all my old merchandise. A lot of it's Donatello though since he was my absolute favourite. whee Some day I'll round up all my things and take a picture for everyone to see.

And finally there was DOS. Yes, I can remember running a computer solely off of DOS programming. I remember when CD-Rom drives first came out. We had a 2x one and that was pretty darn state of the art. But let me say, those were terrible to play a game on. xp Things loaded soooooo slow. Regardless, some of my favourite games came out of that era. Epic Pinball has to be my favourite game of all time. I had the top score in nearly every game. I even got to like the 5th level of Enigma. <3 But Cyber Girl was my alltime favourite. I had insane high scores in that one. Jill of the Jungle was another favourite. And then there was cute little Hocus Pocus. I hated the last level of the second game, it was so hard. D: Evil trees~

I should stop spouting gibberish now and let you all return the favour. =D

Some questions for sparking discussion. (aka 'spoon feeding')
What do you remember from your childhood that you miss dearly now?
What were some of your favourite toys/shows as a kid?

You're only like half a year older than me, Dazzler. xd

I used to watch like everything on TV... Except for Full House. I hated the Olsen Twins even back then. Didn't follow Blossom either.

TMNT was the greatest. I used to play it with the boys in preschool. They wouldn't let me be Donatello, I always had to be April O'Neil because I was a girl. mad

I still feel old!!!!

Ahhh but i remember those games....and playing power rangers....i alway ened up getting annoyed with the boys, beat them up and then they called me the villian for the rest of the game. ^^

I don't remember that one....maybe it wasn't shown in England...I will have to look. But first! Bed....

X-men...I love X-men. Why does the comic have to come out mouthly? I can never remeber to get it.

I use to get the Beano every week. (If you've never heard of the Beano it's an English comic that has been around for ages. I don't even remember when it was first printed but I've got a copy from 1965)

I should start reading X-Men. I don't know why I haven't. >.> I am in the comic shop every week after all. Might as well start in on that instead of picking up a kajillion random manga titles every time.

Psssssh, I dressed as the Pink Ranger for Halloween when I was 8.
That was when I started to hate plastic masks...
And that outfit was REALLY tight.

I miss all the old shows from Nickelodeon like the original All That, Catdog, Animorphs (books for that series are awsome too), Are You Afraid of The Dark?, original Rugrats, the list goes on and on.
Then there are shows like Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Lab, Smurfs, and such from Cartoon Network (woohoo for Reboot and Thundercats! ....also Swatcats ninja )
And of course lets not forget the old version of the Disney Channel, Zoog Disney. The Zoogs were cool, I liked Browser the dog thing. And all the shows they played were cool, hell, they even played The Mickey Mouse Club and Zorro at night. And another show that sadly I can't remember the name of...
Something about supernatural stuff...a band...hmmmm.....
