when i was young, i loved boxes. just sitting in them and letting my imagination run rampid, it was so fun! i cant remember what i did...but im pretty sure i tried to be a race car driver or an astronaut...but all i know, is that boxes rocked. im to big for most boxes now, and my imagination aint much like it used to be ...but i am pretty much living in a box now, that comes with a kitchen/bathroom/closet, and if i need an imagination boost, there is always drugs buuut...it isnt the same as it was when i was young. maaan...i wish i were 10 years younger sometimes.
aww i love boxes too. i used to get wardrobe boxes and make them into spaceships. i would color it and everything, make buttons for it, a door. i miss it.
i never went that far with the boxes...i just sat in them and had fun. it would of been cool if i styled my boxes all up though. draw some tires on there and go for the gold
oh man...forts are the best! my neighbor used to make these awesome big forts in his basement, where he put blankets all together, and then had like, a little hide away section to play video games in, and anotehr to sleep, and another to play legos in...those were the days
you're bringing up all the great stuff about being a kid!! me, my brother and sister usedto make blanket forts and we each had our own room in it. we'd decorate it and bring toys into it and stuff. then each morning our kitties would jump from the stairs onto the top and ruin it haha. rhasta penguin i swear we had the same childhood! boxes and forts
apparently so their some of the best memories i have from being a child it was about the imagination. its so strange, cause back then, i could sit in a box, or play with legos for hours and hours, and not get bored. now if i were to try to do that sort of stuff, i would feel stupid and now know what to do i think sometime in my teen years, my imagination slowly just withered away...poor thing =/
yeah, i agree about the legos thing, i easily get bored. but i don't think my imagination has withered away. i just sort of use it in a different way. instead of making rocket ships and forts i play music or draw or simply think think think. no one really ever loses their imagination i don't think, it just matures/changes as we get older
I wishi was younger too. just to live free is something i dream about, nots its just not the same, im somewhere else and its so much to worry about.
i used to make the boxes into houses.. i'd cut out a door and window and everything. i got mad if my parents threw them away. they also let me trash the living room with chairs and blankets everywhere, blocking everything (including the tv, unless you came in). that was awesome. i wonder why our imaginations dwindle down.
