"Mobileless society. Actually speaking on the phone to friends, writing letters, knees, holidaying in Portrush and Donegal, building ramps to launch myself and my bike off, building go-karts out of old pram wheels, naivity, Dungeons and Dragons, building tents and hideouts out of blankets and duvets, playing cricket in the back yard, being scared while watching horror movies, my dads VW camper, my mums beetle, weekends at my grandparents, my grandparents, mouth machine gun noises, toy soldiers, uno, toasting bread on the fire, trying to stay up late to watch Cheers or Moonlighting, watching Gladiators before going to meet my mates on a Saturday night, stuffing as many pillows in my pyjamas as possible and smashing into my brother, running up stairs(just because i could), poking around rock pools to catch crabs/starfish/stickle backs and creating my own ecosystem back home in a basin!(all form of life was gone the next day lol) and everyday was filled with possibility........ That all made me smile, great thread | |||

Sometimes id skip the dinner n have 2 deserts | |||
