Stumbled upon this in my old journal entries...

May 11, 1996
Today was Saturday. I went bike riding. First I went to Ivan's. Then we went to my house. I let him start a new Phantasy Star 2 game with Game Genie codes. He's up to Nido Tower to find Tiem. At about 6:30 or 7:00 he left. That was basically my day.

Yep, I led an exciting life at age 11.

Game Genie was an amazing invention.

Contra with infinite lives = hours of dying fun.

You didn't need Game Genie for infinite lives in Contra.

Here is what my journal at age 11 probably would have looked like

Today I got up and ate a box of Kix. School was good, I drew a picture of a tank. After school I came home and played Super Star Wars. Then I built a airplane out of Lego. Then I went to bed.

"Reggie" was my dad, deceased for two and a half years now. i really miss him. ;(

Because everyone is dying to know, me at 11:

"Man, I sure hate living in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, NC. I sure am pissed that my dad cheated on my mom, causing her to go insane, move myself and my sister to the top of a mountain from downtown Atlanta, and start claiming she's a psychic. I sure hope that this doesn't result in me having issues with my family for the rest of my life."

Note: it did.

School, pfft, what a waste of time. Damn, why am I still stuck on the wheel barrow puzzle in Grim Fandango?

"This new Ninja Turtles show is cool, but it's no Thundercats. I am still playing Pirates! on my Commodore, because it's fun. I have a baseball game on Saturday, and my teammate's cousin is so hot... I think she wears a bra"

Go to school come home and shoot hoops with some friends, eat dinner and play videogmes with my friends. At that time we probably would have been playing Baseball Stars on the NES.

side note: I'd always beat my brother with the Japan Robins and he was the All Stars (or whatever the best team was) so one day I recorded myself saying "Japan Robins" over and over onto a tape and I then placed my walkman with headphones under his pillow when he was asleep. I don't know if it tormented him or not but it sure as hell kept me entertained for a day.

--edit--
I hope I don't have this game and Little League Baseball mixed up in my head.

Ha! Is that the same Cameron, NC that the Hardy Boys of WWE fame hail from?

And I think(although I'm not sure) that Barndardsville NC was even MORE hick than Cameron.

Me at 11:

Sat in the caravan and watched Charles marry Diana on the portable TV. Had to put a few 50p's into it to keep it going for the whole show.

Aftewards, went outside and played with a girl from the campsite. Waddle waddle, hop hop (she walked a bit like a duck)

well, I'll join.

Me @ 11:

Went out bike riding today. We built a ramp and rode down the hill, going off the ramp and flying into the trees. I broke my arm. Also, I fell out the tre fort and onto some nails.

it's going to come out of you and it's going to taste so good
I found my shitty journal thing from when I was like 10ish not too long ago going through old stuff from my parents' house. Choice stuff in there like "Today on Night Court, it was the one where Bull takes a dump in Harry's office" or whatever the actual plot was. Wow thanks preteen me, for telling me exactly what you watched on TV. That is just super.

@ ll

Man i hate going to practice. I always have to stay longer and put stuff away. At least were in the semifinals.

I cant even have enough time to work for some N64 money. I want that N64, i dont think i can get it when it comes out though. Hope it goes down in price.

I've got so much homework, since i've been traveling a lot i've missed a lot of weeks of school. Hope this crap with custody gets taken care of.

Saw the coolest thing today a portable boombox. I want one of those, listen to that rap music. Then maybe i can listen to my vanilla ice cd that i've had since 90. Damn my grandparents fro buying a cd when they knew i didnt have a cd player.

Just some stuff i found in a book i wrote in for counceling a while ago.

At 26 this reflects my life too... I lead a dull existence.

Get up, go to the place where I should be working and sit for 8 hrs, come home play MLB 2K5 and Forza, go to bed, rinse and repeat.

YAY!

EDIT: May 1996... (I feel old now) I was GRADUATING. ergh. been almost 10 years already.... how time flies

i was fucked up when I was 11. Didn't go to school for 9months. Spent 3 months in a hostel type place full of a nutty kids, ok most of them were reasonably normal, anorexic, few that had been violent, a few like me that just wudn't go to school. There was one dude that was a nutjob though, he'd only speak to one person that worked there and he sucked on his jumper and looked at the floor at all times. Damn that place musta messed me up. Still it gives me an excuse when people ask me why I am the way I am. wooooo
