Saharah Blue Posted March 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 okay for all those who posted their fav foods, I hope you went out and treated yourself to one of those, even if it is totally silly or weird. (just ate an apple) And we all remember different parts of our past, so if you can't think of anything now, it might come to you later when you are not thinking about it, memory is like that.Sah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milkyna Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is kinda scarry... How came we not to find at least five traits that we love about our inner child? This is really sad. I cannot think any aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life is sweet Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I found it difficult at first too, but reading back on what I said a number of weeks ago I feel better that I was able to list those things--even if I didn't believe them at that time. If nothing else, milkyna, treat yourself to an ice cream cone. :hug2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Ohh boy. This made me laugh. Rather appropriate to me, in my eyes. Let's get to it.Liked about myself:1 - Picked up my love for creativity in music. Taught myself how to play piano (or rather a yamaha keyboard).2 - Awesome random sense of humour. Always brought a smile to peoples faces.3 - Highly compassionate, friendly, and loving.4 - Perfection in whatever I did. But that often reduced my workflow, which would get me into trouble.5 - Being able to beat my teachers at a game of chess.6 - Number 6 I hear you ask? Yeah, why not - Innocence. Loved how I could do something fucked up and not understand why it is. Yeah, loved that...Foods:1 - Aunt Bessies yorkshire puddings.2 - Fray Bentos steak and kideney pie.3 - Marzipan4 - Raspberry slush puppy.5 - The 10p bags of sugar-coated gummies from the local shop.Peace, Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
