In my path of self discovery and rediscovery, I've found a lot of awesome crap that I forgot I owned. Here are some of the gems that have been uncovered:
Re-Pete the Parrot- This is an electronic parrot, mounted on a stand, that you can record phrases on and repeat it back to you in a crazy parrot voice. How was I scared of dolls and clowns but not this as a child? I'm glad I kept it, though. It's going to make an excellent gift.
High School Quote List- Through out high school, my friends and I each had a list we kept of all the crazy, hilarious and especially stupid things anyone said. They got extremely specific, with location, date, time and speaker all recorded for future reference. I'll list a few choice ones, anonymously, of course
“Really? It's a Pajama Day miracle!”
“I'm caught between two sides of a conversation going nowhere.”
“I have short hairs, and they will fly... like an eagle into the sea!”
“Will you lick my lolly?”
“Somebody broke the font and ugly spewed forth.”
Travel Battle Ship- This toy was made sad by the fact that I never had anyone to play with when my family actually traveled. I think I just bought it because it was cheaper than the stationary sized one. I still long for the regular sized Battle Ship with sound effects and fake topographical lines across the grid.
Journals- Oh my God. I was a crazy person. My journals sound like Girl Interrupted meets Running With Scissors. I smell an Oscar.
Cape Cod Photos- In 7th grade, my school took us on a four-day trip to Cape Cod in the middle of October. After our year, they considered never doing the trip again. Yeah, it was that bad. It made for great stories, though, filled with cases of hypothermia and claims of cancer. Don't worry; no one actually had cancer. Though, we weren't sure for a while...
My Diploma- I was wondering where that thing got to.
