My happiest mamories are form the grunge era. I was about 4/5, around there. My close family is really, really short. I mean, with my grandfathers, cousins, uncles it is about... 10! So, at that time, all my family used to go together on vacations. We were all so happy, I remember those nights on my dad's backseat, passing through streets with no light... listening to nirvana, pearl jam, soundgarden... and later waking up looking at my whole family together... it was so cool

 

i remember lying on the grass when i was really small thinking the sky was really made of the ocean with fluffy white pigs floating on it

I remember playing basketball as a kid (I was always one of the tallest kids) and I loved dying my hair in crazy colours (for a day only) and I wanted to play in N.B.A. as I grew older, also I could make up the rhymes quite easily and I would imagine how I'll talk in rhymes when I'm big in NBA...I even made a nick I'd be known after in N.B.A. - Rhymer (one of my first English words, lol).

I remember fighting with my then best friend (we spent all the time together) about silly things like who's more girlyish...I would tease him for his violet underwears and he teased me for wearing a girly shirt, lol, fun times!

I remember how much we both dissliked swimming, but we were both quite good at it - we hated the trainings, though, so once we decided not to go and we thought we were in the biggest troubles when that sports-teacher got us...

I remember how jealous I was when one of my friends (a year younger) spoke more English than I did; we were about 6,7 years old back then...he knew all the words like; cow, horse, cat, dog and the like and I only knew words 'cow' and 'chicken' (from the cartoons; Cow and Chicken)...

I remember always wanting to travel all around the Europe, I had this map of Europe in my room and I would just look at it for a long time and colour the places I was going to go as I'm old enough...*that hasn't changed yet, for 8 years now already*

I remember how much I wanted to learn as many languages as I could when I was a kid, I loved taking German lessons when I was 8, lol.

I've just remember that I could write a book about my childhood, lol, it really was lots of fun!

 

i remember sitting on the hill in my grandma's yard, wearing a flower dress and a butterfly landed on me, and it stayed there in my eyes for forever, and i felt so lucky

 

~Walking alone in the garden of my old house when I was 4 or 5 looking for 4 leaf clovers wishing like hell some sort of magical creature would come and take me away, somewhere enchanted...

~Once at my old farm before my parents split up I ran upstairs before even being told to go to bed, got all comfortable and when mom came up and asked me what I was doing I said "so this is what it feels like to be potato salade." I never remebered what it felt like to be potato salade and I don't believe I explained it to them... but I always found it sort of interesting I once did know...I usually did not go to bed alone because I was afraid of the pale poofy haired man living under my bed who came out everynight and pulled my hair...mom says this fear was a result of her and my dads fighting downstairs...I don't know, I just could never sleep alone.
