I still do that .__.

The sense of innocence that I lost when I turned 11.

Being able to say stupid shit and not feeling like a socially awkward fuck

MOONSHOES!

Everything seemed so fascinating and I was able to enjoy anything in front of me.

Sliding down the banister of my house.
We no longer have stairs.

>>9487975
i do that when i'm drunk with gf/friends

they do make fun of me for suggesting smoking at the playground like every other weekend, pretty sure they enjoy it though

nothing like smoking a blunt upsidedown on monkey bars

1. Being about to climb and explore neighborhoods without looking like a crazy serial rapist.
2. Being able to laugh at stupid shit without looking like a crazy serial rapist.

Being able to openly play Pokemon.

Going outside. I miss not having to have plans to play something or go somewhere.

Not knowing about girls

hope for the future

I miss my first relationship. People are so much more open/carefree/idealistic then.

inb4 'normalfagdurrhurrderppp'

You can go outside by yourself and have fun for hours.

Now when i go outside by myself I feel strange lolol.

Playing pretend with friends.

>Okay, so I'm a bounty hunter and you're a pirate!
>I know, I'll be a Pokemon trainer and you be a Charmander!

And then just playing like that outside all day, having so much fun.

Being SO happy on Christmas. I have to get shitfaced to feel that happy again as an adult.

>>9488077
i miss this too man, i miss this too

I miss being able to pretend I had friends. Now if I try that people think I'm insane.

Being able to play by yourself without getting bored.

I remember just being able to whip out a few beanie babies or Pokemon figures and creating adventures and never getting bored even after hours of just sitting by myself with just these simple toys.

Now if I do anything like that playing by myself without a computer or whatever, it just feels depressing and dull.

I don't really miss my childhood, I was the best student around but I fat fat so I got abused a bunch

developing an eating disorder was the best thing to happen to me, as soon as I was skinny I stopped and didn't look back

I miss my harmonica. I lost it when we moved.

I still play on swings and playground sets, I'm almost 20.

Don't let the kid in you die just cause people tell you to.

I guess what I miss most is not having to worry about life in general, just me and my friends fucking around all day every day, riding bikes, playing ball, doing stupid shit that usually ended in injury, watching cartoons every morning, the weekend actually meaning something, I could listen to terrible music (backstreet boys, nsync, 98 degrees) and not get shit for it. Back when Pokemon red/blue was new and exciting, I still remember the day my dad bought it for me. 4square is one of the greatest games ever invented, it is gods gift to earth.

Damn this thread...

Adventures.

When you were a kid, you could just get some friends together and explore everywhere and just have an adventure. It was always so much fun.

Now it's just.
>What should we do?
>Hey, let's get on a bus and go somewhere new and just explore and adventure a bit.
>Uh...
>I'd rather not..
>Let's just get drunk.
>Yeah!

Kickball and other games you could just pick-up with a few friends and spend the entire day doing.

I miss Halo 2 Matchmaking.

I know it sounds weird, but from 8th-10th grade, that was ALL I did.

It was the best fucking time of my life.

I felt terrible when Halo 2 went offline. It was like my childhood dying. At least I still have the great memories.

I do all the same shit.

It is why people don't think I am very mature.

Why did you guys all of a sudden stop acting like kids? I still do. I get looks and laughed at a bit, but I enjoy life.

I miss being carried inside by my parents after long night car rides.

Ninja Turtle Pies, Big Stuff Oreos, and Crystal pepsi while watching Thundercats and Thundarr the barbarian followed by Pirates Of Dark Water and Legend Of Prince Valiant or the Mario show.

>>9488165
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Are you me? Whenever I suggest doing that with my friends, they just say 'LOL NO THATS STUPID LETS ALL GO GET SHITFACED'.

D:

I kind of miss my childlike innocence in regard to girls, back then flirting meant teasing and pretending you hated each other, but you both secretly knew what was going on.

Now flirting is getting my dick sucked, arguably better, but the whole thing feels kind of jaded, like life in general ya know.

Climbing trees.

Seems to be easier when you're a kid. Certainly easier to find branches that can hold you when you only weigh about half you are now.

I'd still do it too, except there are only trees in public parks around me, and people don't seem to take kindly to a 20-something acting like a monkey on a tree. Bastards.

when your sick and mom is taking care of you.All I had to do was lay back and do nothing.I loved that.

God, this thread makes me so fucking depressed.

>>9488217
I would climb trees with you.

poop'n in the bushes,the great outdoors was my great bathroom.

I miss my wonderful ignorance, when there was still magic in the world and monsters under my bed. There was something magnificent in my imagination, and I felt like I could escape from anything with it. Nothing had to make sense for me to enjoy it... it was so blissful.

Also Toonami.

Man, I miss swinging so much. My best friends and I would just swing all fucking recess, shooting the shit as we tried to get higher and higher.

Now I'm 6'4" and 290 lbs. Most swings are for, well, much smaller children. If I were to get on one now, it'd just be me with my knees mashed up into my gut, the chain creaking in agony, my feet dragging in the wood chips.

Not caring what I looked like at ALL and knowing no one around me did either..

>>9488221

This was awesome.
I'd be sick, my mum would just tell me to sit back in bed and come back later with some toast and Lucozade and a comic or video game and you could just sit there all day.

Now getting sick is more of an "Oh shit, think of everything I'm going to miss! This will ruin me, I have to get better!".

I miss the simplicity of life. No need to worry about booze or drugs or sex. It was just so simple. I really miss it. I really wish it didn't have to change.

I actually tried many times to get the flu.

>>9488152

My childhood summed up in one second

Fucking nostalgia.

Making those enormous blanket and pillow forts when you couldnt do anything outside.

Getting so excited on snow days.

Whenever your parents got anything in a box, you flipped the fuck out about it and were in ecstasy about the packing peanuts and used the box as a house or a car or whatever.

The sense of accomplishment that followed almost every mundane task.

Fuck. I wanna be little again.

I miss how different "hanging out with friends" was then, there really is a cut off age when you just do different things.

Then:
>Go explore
>Climb trees
>Play with toys / trading cards
>Imaginary play
>Make shit
>Make forts and play video games in them
>Have childish fun on those virtual pet sites / Habbo whatnots

Now:
>Get drunk / high
>Sit with others and talk
>Shooters
>Get drunk / high

>>9488326
I still almost only do stuff from the first category.

.___.

>>9488320

Blanket forts were fucking awesome, I swear me and my friends would do that shit every single day.

Snow days are still pretty awesome though, that's something I don't think I'll ever grow out of.

>>9488326
... this... this really hurts. Maybe I'm just completely immature, but adult friendships just seem so dull. I wanna hang out and play some video games and shoot the shit while working on some ridiculous craft project like I used to. It just can't be done as an adult.

I miss video games being another one of my toys and not something I paid $500 for so it could consume my life.

>>9488355
The latter is pretty true, now that I think about it. On snow days Ill look outside and see adults hurling snow balls at eachother and just acting like kids.

>>9488363
Nah, you're not immature. Everyone thinking 'LOL IM SO COOL LOOKIT ME DRINK TILL IM SICK' isnt mature, it's dull and ridiculous.

>>9488401
It's not even a drinking thing. It's just that "adult" activities tend to be one-sided conversations, shopping, or work banter.

I miss playing with dolls. I remember I had the full set of Spice Girls dolls and Yellow Submarine Beatles figurines, and my friends would play with them whenever they came over. I was Baby Spice and I was married to Ringo and she was Sporty Spice and was married to Paul and all was right in the world.

Also, making stop-motion movies with Bratz dolls and Polly Pockets. We had really deep plots going on in a few. And then there were a few that I did on my own, which were mostly slasher-type horror movies. Except they weren't scary at all, they were hilari-bad.

I also miss the intensity of games back then. But I have a friend who keeps that intensity alive now. And it's not the typical intensity of adults, where it's competition-based. He just gets really emotionally invested with whatever we're doing. In high school, we used to play quarters at lunch with an empty Snapple bottle and he'd get really into it and how we had to get it in before the bell rung or else the whole second half of school would be ruined and "OH GOD ANON IT WENT IN OH FUCK AND THE BELL RUNG RIGHT AS IT DID OH FFFUUUUCCK ANON FFUUUCCK"

He's a really cool guy. But yeah, I miss dolls.

At the very least we all have something to look forward to, having a kid.

Having a kid is basically an free pass to act like a kid again, assuming it's a boy anyway.

>>9488363

It does really make me sad..
I just want to sit and make stupid Lego structures and laugh with friends, play Mario 64 whilst eating junk food and switching the controller every level, running about outside with toy guns and pretending that we can actually do parkour.

Now, bringing up the idea to do any of that just gets weird looks. Fuck, it was all so much more fun back then. I'm sick of just sitting around and getting drunk.

>>9488152
I played Four Square in high school. I would beg my three friends to play it every weekend if it wouldn't make look like a weirdo.

>>9488440

Ahhh copious amounts of junk food...

Now I'm pretty much conditioned to eat as little of it as possible to maintain my figure, if my child self were here today he would slap me for acting like a bitch.

>>9488363
Why is having fun so condemned? You are seen as being weird, immature etc if you do this sort of stuff. It isn't 'proper'. Fuck society

>>9488432
Fuck that mindset. Im going to tell my little girl she can do whatever the boys can.

>>9488489
Because adults (read: anyone out of college or above college aged) is supposed to have 'matured'. You ever heard that bible verse?

'When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.'

Supposedly when you get older, youre supposed to leave all child like mannerisms behind. I dont know why, but that's what youre 'supposed' to do, and it depresses me and pisses me off at the same time.

>>9488440

Don't worry, even if you were able to do all that all the time it still wouldn't be nearly as much fun as it was when you were a kid.

- trying to get sick on purpose
- meeting my friends afterschool on my bike at the park, then exploring bushland and drains all afternoon
- christmas was the most exciting, happy day ever
- jumping on the couch and cuddling my mum
-not giving a shit what i looked like

And this, friends, is exactly what drugs are for.

>>9488549

This is exactly the opposite of what this thread is about.

>>9488523
Well, fuck the bible. It just gives out shitty advice like this.

waking up on saturday mornings and eating cereal and watching cartoons.

not the newer cartoons, the bad ass old school ones like bugs bunny, pepe le pew, road runner, etc.

those were the fucking days, man

also

FLOOR IS LAVA

>>9488559
I dont listen to it, man. Go out and act like a kid, youll be a ton happier.

Climbing trees.
trespassing. Me and my buds would always cut through blocks, hopping fences and shit.
Such a rush.
We raided this old guy's garden for tomatoes and he pointed a pellet gun at us and told us to GTFO.
Can't say we didn't deserve it...

"Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." C.S. Lewis

>>9488186

Pirates of Dark Water! Dude, you're such a bro

I miss making friends so easily. No cliques, groups, races, black, white, everyone played tag or manhunt together. Now half the people don't even spit at the other.

>>9488555

lol wut

I thought this thread was about missing the sense of wonder and happiness you had as a kid? Some drugs will give you that, temporarily

>>9488642
That was beautiful.

Besides, tons of the most brilliant people, both in language and the sciences, have 'childish' personalities, a love for adventure and wonder. 'Adults' are usually stiff, uncreative cubicle workers.

Looney Tunes.
Playplaces at fast food joints. BALL PITS

>>9488619

Also did that hopping fences/cutting through yards thing.

Sometimes we ended up having to leg it the fuck out of there because there was a dog in the back yard but it was totally worth it.

Racing everywhere. Whenever you were in a hurry, or just wanted some fun, you ran. Now seeing adults running in suits is plain weird.

>>9488695

When I ask my friends if they want to race me to the car and shit now they usually just look at me like I'm stupid and say "Uhh, no."

I fuckin swear people are so shitty these days, what does an adult do for fun anyway, I don't like to party and I don't drink or do drugs. It seems like I'm left out in the cold.

I miss just having parents to hug or hold without it being much too awkward or them wondering what is wrong.
And to think all we wanted to do then was grow up.

>>9488778
My friends did that. I just stopped asking them. I'll suddenly run to the car, touch it, and yell, "I WIN!" They usually get confused and say, "I didn't know we were racing!" to which I will reply, "Of course not. That's why I won." and then rub it in their faces.

They do it back to me a couple times, then after that we race nearly every time. Voila.

I'm so glad I have childish friends. We can as much fun hanging out in a parking lot bouncing a ball or sword fighting as we can drinking. If I ever lost this, my life would be pretty damn worthless.

This is probably why I want a girlfriend who hasn't lost her sense of childishness. Too bad, most are [insert bitches and whores analogy here].

I miss when the biggest worry was getting your spelling memorized for the test tomorrow.

Read the FLCL manga earlier in my life.

Seriously, whenever I feel down, I read those two mangas and I don't feel better, but I feel like I understand life better.

innocence

I miss when naruto and bleach were the shit.

>>9488888
;_________________;

I want a boyfriend who wasnt lost his childlike sense of wonder, but they dont exist.

>>9489127
Baww, I'll be your internet boyfriend.

Also, I just realized that I never had my own room as a child. Not that I miss it.

I miss being happy.

being allowed to play with little toy soldiers and stuff

I can play with them as an adult (warhammer) but would voluntarily removing myself from the gene pool if I did so

>>9489093
now they ARE shit

>>9489345
Get happy now.

I miss lego and other such things you used to spend hours on, making crazy new things. Back before you even cared for symmetry, matching the colours, the perfect shape, having a purpose instead of just attaching blocks to blocks to blocks.

I love swings, bicycles, late night Cinemax porn, building various weapons out of house hold items...

You can keep a 10yr old boy very busy if you let him build a 30lb sledgehammer out of a oak log and a shovel handle.

I blame Gallager.

McGyver, Ducktails, Rescue Rangers and the 6am Wacky Racer cartoons...

>>9489390
How? Shit's fucking depressing. The adult world looks like a cesspool of losing everything fun about being a child and sucking away your life to a job and a spouse. Plus I know too much about the world to not hate it. Anyone with half a brain should.

mcdonalds being the best food ever...

Enjoying things (anything).
Being praised for being good at something at such a young age.
Having real-life friends; real-life anything.
Experiencing real emotions: happiness, love, fear, sadness instead of just feeling "uncomfortable" all the time
Looking up to people.

>>9489416
It's life. Accept it and enoy the rest.

>>9489192
Okay. Hurray! I have an internet boyfriend.

I miss it when doctor, lawyer, astrounaut, firemen were all ideal heroes instead of people you simple work with, as flawed as anyone else.

100% lack of responsibilities and expectations

When the city was a wonder and you didn't know most nooks and crannies of it.

Jukeboxes.

>>9487975
You can still do that you know....

>>9489632
That is rather poetic, in a truly depressing way

FUCKIN' SAILOR MOON.

bloxx

>>9487975
i actually did that 2 nights ago while talking to the guy of my dreams. :3

Not being aware of so much evil and corruption in the world. Things were so much better then.

I miss sleepovers.

>>9487975

Running through sprinklers in the backyard with pot lids. The large arcing sprinkler was the portal to get me from this world into the fake one, had to jump through it to reach it. The shooter sprinklers were blasts from tanks, or fire from dragons, or lasers. That's where the lid shield came in handy.

>>9489684
back then it was
>awww I gotta do homework :(
>OH WOW, MOM CAN I HAVE THIS COMIC BOOK!?
>Ms. Teacher, Jake is being mean to me, he kicked me!

now it's
>awww I have to work more than 5 shifts this week and next week to make rent, fuck laundry detergent is so fucking expensive nowadays. I can't do anything on my day off, I have to finish reading some stuff for class and do laundry, and clean my kitchen.
>oh wow, there's a sale on cereal- jumbo boxes for $4 with a coupon! That book over there looks really interesting, but it's new and I can't afford to pay for a $35 book right now.
>god damn it, my manager is making me do shit for my job that isn't part of my damn job. I am not getting paid overtime for this and after they just fired 5 other people I'm sure I'm walking on eggshells now. I can't be expected to do all this shit and then do the rest of my job, also why am I getting rided for not having enough sales of this product when there's no incentive for people to buy it? I was never told this didn't qualify and now I'm in trouble because of it.

tl;dr: I agree with you, anon

Lunchables.

I was never inventive, and I always made sandwiches as they were made to be; one cheese, one meat, two crackers.

then in the end I'd have like, a giant wad of cheese left with no meat and crackers. Fucking god damn it.

but I loved them anyway. Wanna trade for a fruit-roll-up?

>>9488090
FUCKING THIS!!!!

Also, playing tag, you never realise how much fun you had as a kid with this game until your older and play it again. When it gets intense its so much fucking fun.

>>9488655
YES!! I know what you mean. Children don't discriminate but adults do like crazy. It's fucking bullshit!!!

i dont remember mine

>Implying I still don't still do shit I did as a child.
>Am a man child.
>Have well paying job, and knows when to be serious anyways.

>>9488090
god i remember when we used to do this. i can't take is seriously now and can't enjoy it.

I miss going next door, knocking on the door and saying
"hi, can Ross come play?"

>>9488655
oh wow. :(

back then you didn't even have to know a kid's name to walk up to them and say "hey wanna play army men?"

>>9488090
they still do this now only you have to pay 30 bucks a month.

Being elastically happy if your parents got you the chocolate kinder surprises or whatever they had back then. I can't even remember anymore.

>>9491436 here.
Just realized what I missed.
My grand father, and fishing with family.
:(

>>9491330
>I have a chocolate bar and some chicken potato chips :3

Getting out of the house and playing from like 10am till like 5pm.

Then the stupid parents bought me a stupid Super Nintendo.

I wish I had some semblance of a childhood. ; _;

>>9488008
this x1000

and playing in the ball pit and play place

Excitement and enthusiasm. I shit you not, during summer holidays (before my teens) I usually woke up around 6AM and couldn't wait my friends to wake up too so we could do all kind of cool stuff until 10PM.
Nowdays when ever I wake up the first thought usually is "do I have to" and only thing I wait is to get back to bed again.

Legos. I used to love building crazy new things everyday. I would still do them to this day, but my unstable mother decided to give them all away when I left for school. Stupid cunt.

>>9491756

What's stopping you from buying more?

Not having depression, not wanting to commit suicide.
Although, I started having symptoms around age 8, so THAT didn't fucking last long.

Being able to play by myself (this time on the computer or reading books or shopping etc.) without being considered a loner. I have always enjoyed being alone, it's only unusual now that I'm oler.

thinking gaming was all there was needed to be happy, no input but maximum output...

now i have to work for happiness

i miss not caring about girl issues or being lonely, not that i don't have friends.

>>9491794
I was one of the few children who were capable of entertaining themselves in the forms of coloring books, Barbie dolls, doll houses, etc. btw, nothing creepy.

I wish I wasn't such a lazy fuck playing video games all day and kicking soccer balls.

Could've learned programming at an early age from my dad, but no, I wasn't interested. Fuck me.

Bump, can't believe this didn't 404.

I miss the sense of wonder at fucking everything. A bug walking on the sidewalk was effing magical, every time you saw it. Now nobody is impressed by anything. We're so jaded to the world that the only thing that can excite us is torture porn, snuff films, and insane video games.

exploring... I miss that.

When porn didn't bore me.

getting raped by my babysitter, still fap to it.

someone archive this thread, it's good for historical purposes

Playing sports after school with random people you didn't even know.

Also, archive request please.

Thread ID is: 9487975

When my free time consisted of actually enjoying myself and not being full of anguish because free time = exams coming up, worrying because BAW SO RONERY and killing time until regular classes at uni are resumed (amazingly that's the time when I feel best, being busy keeps one's mind off of bawwing all day).

When I was happy to be able to play my Super Nintendo, because omfgwtf it's in color, not like the b/w Gameboy I had. Nowadays it's all GRAPHICS and consoles with MENUS and games that take forever to load, and weird controllers and whatnot. Also it doesn't even captivate me that much anymore. Simpler days indeed.

When getting anything done did not mean sitting in front of a pc for a couple hours.

Leaving my house and not getting robbed/attacked

Being able to play magic the gathering with friends, with really shitty decks and each match was like 20 rounds always, each side.
We always ammased lots of creatures and waited for an epic battle.
Now when, or rathe if, I go to the games shop for a tournament its always skips or whatever the slang term is, really competetive and with no fun, its all about winning.
Man I wish I could find a booster box of fallen empires and just host my own booster draft with like 6 packs each, man that would be good stuff, shitty cards, only for fun.

Onslaught block is when I really got into it and I started odyssey.
Mirrodin block had one of the best atmospheres ever, except for fifth dawn, that was shit.
Anything after mirrodin was pretty terrible.
M10 was pretty good for a core edition, some good old ones coming back.

God durn it.

Wandering through the woods without worrying about bugs and dirt and ruining my clothes. Got jiggers a few times; I just hopped in the lake, or dug them out with my nails. No worries.

Having a completely hairless body. Shaving sucks. Hair management sucks.

Legos. Fucking loved legos, damned be the gender barrier. Used to make spaceships and air fleets out of them.

No one giving me weird looks for watching cartoons. Disney rocks, man. I'd rather watch 2D than the rest of the shit they have on TV.

Being able to not worry about the future.

little crushes that seemed like such a big deal :) ah the good times..

>>9488152

4square.. oh shit nostalgiaaaaaa

Smoke weed. Your think like you did when you were a kid.

Nothing.
I hated being a kid. Every day was miserable and I was weak both mentally and physically. I'd kill myself if I ever had to be young again.

I miss:

1. Being around a girl and saying "I love you" to each other and just mean "We're pretty good friends, right anon?"

2. Being able to kiss a girl without the implications it brings.

3. All of my old friends.

4. The lack of responsibilities.

5. Happiness...

Goddamnit, Anon, I'm so sad.

>>9496575
Any psychedelic has the effect.
The feeling of feeling different causes people to wonder and question things again, with a childish naivety, but you dont care when youre high.
Most drugs have the fantastic effect of making you feel wonder again, you percieve things in a new light than when you are sober, and suddenly you are liberated from the norms of adulthood and how you are expected to be.

making my barbie dolls have sex

catching fireflies on summer nights

getting a toy at the store if you were a good boy/girl

not caring what i looked like

making fuckawesome forts that took up my entire bedroom

jesus, this thread is making me sad

>>9496632
lold, miss the toy tanks and jeeps and making a mock battle with planes and armies and having them fight each other.
Also, archive requests please.

FUCKING DISCOVERY ZONE

holy shit i nostalgia'd so hard

playing with lego and enjoying it. Playing robin robin hood in the woods. Playing king of the hill. How good the food tasted how warm the sun was how cold the winter was and how endless the summers was. I guess a lot of things ..

ITT the grass is always greener

>>9488534

It's really not.

I went to my old elementary school playground last week (it's open to the public) to swing and go down the slides, and it was nothing like I remembered. I just felt incredibly sad, and ended up leaving after 5 minutes.

Goddamnit you guys.

Making me feel really bad here D:

These days it's
"hey lets go out"
- "sure, what?"
"I don't know, lets go to the pub and get drunk"

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

>>9496789
This.
I went out with my girlfriend a few nights ago, and we talked about this subject.
We decided to go to the park at like 2-3AM and go play on the swings, like we used to.

She ended up crying.

FML

>>9496810
how did you respond?
you probably responded like a true robot and fucked up badly.

not an ounce of care in the world

the beginning of this song reminds me of my childhood
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUFfWBhliTk&feature=channel

the dogs barking, the sunset, walking alone those grassy patches, everything

>>9496863
I dont mean like completely bawing obviously.

I jokingly teased her, and ended up playfully "tackling" her in the sandbox, and made out there for a while

wentbetterthanexpected.jpg

I miss how everything was so safe. The summer holiday lasted forever, my parents were perfect and knew everything, and I was happy as long as noone teased me.

I miss how my mom would make me supper while I was in the shower on cold winter nights, and I'd eat it wrapped in towels and blankets in front of the fireplace. I remember the hot, warm light on my face..

I miss my best friend. We'd share everything from clothes to toys and we loved each other and would never ever leave each other.

I recently found my childhood best friend on Facebook.

She's 21 now (my age), has a little kid and looks like a crackwhore.

Feels bad man.

cycling in the woods with friends
Going down by the light house and train tracks beside the river on hot summers days and watching ships and trains go by.
Building fun stuffs in my friends back yard with whatever we could find
Forest and field fires (all set by the same person every year) I used to live in a kind of high crime area, well all the kids did the crime. Like light the huge 100 acre corn field on fire every year and setting the forest on fire :D fire trucks yay
Exploring all the abandoned mansions/factories around the place
The huge bonfire every halloween.
having a life in general.

ahhh nostalgia.

>Have jackass stoner friends.
>Get on random buses.
>Battle with nerf guns on the supermarket.
>Play on the swings and slides sometimes for hours.

My childhood best friend is in jail now. =|

I've been writing her for the last year though, and we've reconnected.

Feels pretty awesome.

Man, I've been reading this thread with Final Fantasy music on in the background.

I loved those games so much when I was a kid.

That sucks...
My old best friend is in rehab and is addicted to heroine and amphetamine :(

I miss having no worry at all
I miss the time I run to my cousin's house and play games


Aaaaarrrgh this thread

More archive /r/.

Anyway, sure are a lot of rose-tinted glasses up in this thread.

I remember my parents going through an ugly divorce when I was old enough to understand it at age 8/9, my dad coming over to my mom's after the divorce when I was at her house for Christmas and hiding in my closet because I didn't want to hear the yelling. I remember getting in trouble for playing video games and other retarded shit.

Fast forward to being an adult, getting done with graduate school, having a great girlfriend who is going to med school and living with me, making great money at my first job out of university.

It's cool guys, go play Pokemon and swing on playgrounds and have adventures.

What I miss most is just exploring. Fucking scouting for bugs in my front yard, climbing up on the roof, dicking around in the woods. I use to be able to have fun by myself for hours on end, what happened to me?

I also miss me/my friends getting hurt. The stupid stunts you did that seemed like a cool idea at the time. "Hey lets try to jump across this creek with all of the glass at the bottom." Everyone jumped and took a try at it and no one thought ill of it at all. Try some shit like that now. Imagine the looks you would get from your friends now. Hell just ask something simple like lets race to the car and see people's reaction.

God damn it.

I miss playing video games with my younger brothers. Beating all the parts that were too hard for them (lol) and just having fun. Also, riding bike all day long.

>>9497090

I would rather do all the kid stuff than be a depressed adult who works all the time like I do now.

I had a great childhood. My parents fought a lot too (still do), but I would give pretty much anything to go back.

What a coincidence. My friends and i go there every week too.
/westislandbrofist

Also fuck all of you for making me sad ;_;

This is a fantastic thread! Keep it alive

When I was little my dad would take me to his friend's house. His friend was Bunny, a 6'7 Rastafarian Jamaican guy who had made half of his house into a Lego model of a Star Wars city. It was so awesome, I promised myself to be cool and act like a kid when I was his age, just like him.


I didn't. I'm boring. T~T

That's fucking amazing.

4 requests for archive. 3 more would help.

I slept in a box for about a year.
I had a bed and everything, but I preferred my box.
I had a thick blanket that I layed on, sheets to cover me up with, and I eventually cut out a hole for another smaller box, that contained my 12in TV and PS2.

I fucking miss my box.

That mad excitement I used to get about stickers.

Crazy make believe games I used to play out over months and months with my neighbours and sister.

Being able to play by myself, with just little toy horses and Polly Pocket for hours.

Sort of related:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfQ9eIsgqvE

Oh, and I miss making 'house' from pillows, chairs and blankets. Pillows are the wall/fence/door, and blankets are the roof.

I miss feeling like I didn't already know the world.

Like there was still so much to discover and I needed to go adventuring to see everything.

Now I think I've seen all there is to see :c

I miss eating junk all day without worrying about what its doing to you.

This thread reminds me of the episode of Friends where Phoebee was running like a child and Rachel got embarrassed by it

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np27D3a_x4o

Not being an adult.

I miss the excitement of finding that lego piece you were looking for.
And 8bit video games.

>>9488068
this, my life has been a mess for three years now because of one chick

I miss being absolutely carefree, not having to worry about anything at all.

I miss the adventures I had with my friends.

I miss all the things we used to do at school. Play with pokemon cards, go-go's, pogs, balls...

I miss climbing trees as if it was the most awesome thing in the world.

I miss the rare occasions where you went to McDonald's with your family and you were happy all day because you were going there or just was there.

I miss going up early on the saturday mornings, only to watch Pokemon

I miss playing Ocarina of Time for the first time


I still remember the day when my brother turned fifteen and got a scooter. I was so jealous. I was nine at that time.
I still remember those parties where all your cousins were there and everybody were playing toghether. Now some of my cousins are 30 years old.


...most of all, I miss wanting to grow up.
Are you with me, brothers?

I miss punching girls in the face when they pissed me off.

>>9497909
>>9488811
Yup.
lol looking back now

Sure is OKKUSENMAN OKKUSENMAN in here.

Will do bro.

Thread 9487975 has already been archived.

It is probably still waiting to be reviewed by the mods, which means it can take a few days until it is available in the archive.

Middle school, playing soccer/football with guys and girls. Now the whores just stand on sidelines so you always have to do something extremely boring with them on dates.

I miss first crushes.
The way I looked at girls, it was so new and wonderful and mysterious to feel attracted to a girl.

>>9498290
This. I miss thinking about one girl all the time, just wanting to talk to them or kiss them, not even caring about fucking them. I still know some of the girls from my childhood, they all grew up fast and started dating older dudes during their teens.

I didn't care about women. Good times.
But I don't really miss childhood. I was mad because no one took me seriously and I didn't feel alive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cY0CF2y-N4
and the shit alike.

going on adventures. getting into trouble knowing i'd get beat but not regretting it and enjoying every second. that girls were mysterious and had magic in their smiles.

>>9498290
This.
Goddamn, I was more in love Zelda from Ocarina of Time than I've ever been with any of my exes. ;_;

>>9497909

Ah! Fuckin scooters man, I forgot about those, I used to be able to do some cool shit with mine.

This might sound weird but I miss having to wait and watch shows on tv instead of having it all at my fingertips with high speed internet and torrents, something about the waiting and the fact that you only had one chance to watch it made it much more special. I remember I used to always watch Pokemon in hopes that the Dragonite episode would rerun because I had missed it the first time, when it finally did I was so fuckin happy.

erm not knowing how unattractive I am.
It didn't feel out of line to be madly "in-like" with the hottest girl at elementary school.

Trick or Treating!
I had such a quarter life crisis the year I realized it was time to stop trick or treating.

In fact I miss all the holidays. Remember Christmas? How exciting and wonderful it was?
Now it comes and goes and I barely notice it.

Throwing things at the dumb black kids in the lunch room. They'd look up all confused and we'd just laugh.

Fuckin legos man, i had a lego town and all my friends had houses in my town and we had fuckin lego money and shit

prepare to nostalgia super hard

one thing i really miss is my super nintendo. It was the first console i ever had, and whenever i play smash bros, and i pick ROB, i always use his Purple/Gray costume as respect to my first console ever

Total indifference to how you look, what you say, and how others see you.

>>9498517
I'm a 4'11 tall femanon. Under a loose-fitting witch costume with a mask, can you really tell that I'm 19 years old?

Fuck you guys, this thread is making me choke up.

>>9498290

This. I've never felt the same about a girl since my highschool crush ;_;

She hated me though.

>>9498517
Best trick or treating moment ever, in greentext form:
>Live in Utah
>Halloween happens to land on a sunday
>Mormons make an announcement "being that sunday is a holy day! Halloween is to be celebrated on saturday, so all yall trick or treaters hop to it on saturday not sunday"
>me and my friends are like "lulfuckthat"
>Go out on sunday, be the only group of trick or treaters out there.
>At like every single house the resident would be like "I have this huge bowl of candy left over from last night, but you kids are the only people I've seen tonight so here take all of it"

I had to go home to empty my pillow case TWICE
and then set out again.

>>9498660

jesus christ, thats fucking awesome

This one artbook a friend and I found together, in his mom's attic. It was by this 70's illustrator, and he always did the swords-n-sandals-n-wizards-n-dragons kind of thing. When you're 8 years old, though, it was the coolest fucking thing. We would flip through the pages, and just have our tiny minds blown every time at the characters and landscapes. Then at breaktime, we'd be like "Okay, so you're that guy with the sword, and I'll be the other dude" and play for hours.

I still have that book, but it kind of hurts to look at it now.

>>9498703
Also, drawing medieval battle scenes with stick figures and shit

Waking up so early in the morning and watch cartoons from 6-9,,, and still have plenty of energy

I smoked some bud last night, and played "lava is the floor". While I was high, I felt just like a little kid, and I thought like a kid too. It almost brought me to tears to think that after my high fades away that i won't experience being a kid again.

I miss the fact that christmas break would feel like a month, but it was only two weeks.

>>9498722
oh shit, you had to remind me of those childhood drawings. I always drew big ass robots with all kinds of weapons and named them "homework destroyer" and shit

we didn't have halloween here but I saw it in movies and always thought about what fun would it be. It would have been shit tho, everyone lives in shit ass flats.

lol I still try and step over every crack in the sidewalk when I used to do as a kid.
baww

My treehouse. Going up there and having the whole world under you.
Making plans with my friends. ''Yeah, then we'll build that giant water balloon catapult and a fortress and and...''

Fuck, you guys made me cry ;_;

Went on the swings last weekend with my best friend. Pumped as hard as I could and swung as high as I could. That was fucking mindblowing.

Remember those little "poppers" or "party snaps" that you used to have. You would throw them on the ground and they would pop. Well, remember when you found a purple colored one in the box, and you thought it had like a special power or something.

I used to love fireworks so much.

Also, this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wt7iVS3L9M
Watched it every morning, even had it on tapes. Too bad I don't have a VCR any more.

no awkwardness

Scooby dooby doo... where are you?

Nothing. I'm 25 years old and still do what I did when i was 10 (playing video games and watching series/anime). Life's great man, and i love it.

what the fuck was I thinking, looking forward to growing up

Digimon
Bionicles
Waiting for that episode of the powerpuff girls in which they fignt the "Roudyrough Boys" I hated the fact my cousin got to watch it before me and he'd always talk to me about it and i always wanted to watch it because of the tremendous anticipation.
I miss the fact i didn't care how i looked, now i have to spend forever getting ready
4square everyday for recess, we'd have like ten kids in line to play
Wall ball-"cheesy!"
Field trips
Damn, the best moments of my childhood were spent in elgin ;~;

This thread is amazing, and I'm going to cry when it 404's just like my childhood. ;__;

>>9500236
It's been requested for archive 7 times so we should be fine.
I miss dexter's lab, loony toones, scooby doo, the cowardly dog, stickin around, ed edd and eddy, and so much more.

>>9499256
Yea, we couldn't wait.

fuck I miss childhood so much.
I always think how nice it would be, you know, like being friends with all people you know now and wonder, what would it be like if we all were children again?

damn, that would be great. no prejudices. no racism, being carefree and play vidya with your friends and then go outside to play tabletennis or someshit or go swimming.

What I will miss from childhood are the three month summer vacations. As I move onto the world of work, I will not get any long vacations, not even a day off unless it's a federal holiday. I will have to do everything on weekend. The same goes for school closings during winter storms, schools may close for one day due to a snow storm, but I will have to haul my ass to work.

I miss my light-up shoes.

best in here

my virginity.

Innocence.
Falling in love in that innocent, childish way.
The mystery of the world.
Fantasy and creativity.

My dad...

Me and my friends still have a blast when we hang out. We make funny ass jokes, act like fools in addition to parties, drinking and getting high. TBH I have as much fun as I used to but in a different way.

Maybe your friends are just dull.

My soul, but I only had it until I was 9.

I miss running around with my batman cape jumping off things

now i have to do it late at night and got arrested last night because I went bat mode (naked except the cape)
there is nothing like running down the street with nothing but a cape on
the cool breeze on my crack pure joy
