Finally! I've got something to write about besides my self-pity! |
| What is your favorite childhood memory? Does anything make you feel nostalgic? I do have a few things I remember that make me feel nostalgic, like Saturday morning cartoons and Dr. Who with Tom Baker. Every time I see the game "cooties" it makes me nostalgic- not because I played it a lot, I was the only kid in a world full of grownups, but because I used to put them all together in different ways (like Mr. potato head) and play "school" with them. I have that thing, though, where I don't really feel like I'm the one who lived my childhood so it's hard to separate the concept of nostalgia from plain old delight or amusement. I think it's called cognitive dissociation or something like that (at least that's what I think my shrink said), but I know it's not just me. My memories feel more like scenes from a movie I watched instead of stuff that happened to me directly. My grandparents raised me, and when I talk to my Grandmother she gets nostalgic sometimes about my childhood but the things she gets nostalgic about are nothing like the things I remember. It is fun to talk to her about my childhood, though because of her perspective. She's a pretty smart (and weird) lady so she's got some neat insight. -TPB |
