Before the WWW
Things I used to do before I was introduced to the internet at the age of 12:
Play SEGA
Read Nancy Drew and Goosebumps that my mom got me 24/7
Read Garfield
Draw
Play pretend with my little brother
Shoot down toys with BB guns
Now, the internet takes up most of my time. Sure most of the things I used to do are kid stuff but still; I think I could be more productive if I really worked on it.
So what did you used to do before the Web took over your life?

I’m over my mini nervous breakdown. I just had a load of crap to do the past two weeks and I overreacted. It’s the weekend now and I thought I’d celebrate with a new look (my first successful editing of a theme) and a new post.

First of all, congrats on the new look - really is funky! Beautiful Banner and nice color combo.
Things I used to do before the internet:
1) Read goosebumps as well hehe i loved the texture of the cover
2) Play indoor badminton in the basement with siblings
3) Dismantle the sofa and use it as a slide to go down the stairs
4) I sucked at sega but I loved the penguin atary game
5) Oh then playstation came along and the only game i would play is the Olympics provided I got to use the turbo joystick
6) Play tennis 4 times a week.
Good times !

TV show? hmm.. dunno.. I didn’t hear of it.
I wasn’t a fan of cartoons on KTV, I hated narrated cartoons. But KTV2 RULED! Thundercats! omg that was one of the best shows! I remember I almost had all their action figures, but I couldn’t afford the vehicles or that castle thingy hehe.
