I see Dollylama posted the actual site, but it has gotten buried so...

I am curious what you used to believe as a child. To start:

I believed my dad when he said
that I should eat my bread crusts, so I could grow hair on my chest just like him. (I am a HER.)

And from within myself, I thought I imagined the world and everything in it (making sense of the insensible) so among other strange behaviors, when I came across a word I didn't know in a book, I crossed it out, because it didn't exist.

Oh damn where do I begin??? Ok here was my list

-If I shaved my legs or armpits and knicked myself then I would bleed to death

-Mommy and daddy built me out of used junkyard parts

-If I faced my fears every day then I would grow to love them. My mom bought me a clown doll after watching the Poltergiest and the Good Guy doll after watching Chucky.

-If I ate too much meat I would become a boy

-Reading in the dark would make me go blind

-If I didn't go to the bathroom before bed then the PeePee monster would come and eat my chooni

-If I didn't finish my supper then God would kill a child in Africa

-If I made myself throw up or I threw up too much I would turn inside out

-If a boy kissed me I would become pregnant with the Devil's spawn

-Showing a boy that I was stronger than him meant I was a lesbian.

I have much more but I don't want to get into some of the other s**t....lol

I used to believe that if I tried really hard, I could fly.

I also believed that faeries lived in the forest by my cabin, and that the gnomes lived in the enchanted forest on the other side of the lake.

I believed that my chest was supposed to go in when I breathed in and vv.

I believed that the trees came to life at night and danced about.

I believed that you could get pregnant from swallowing a watermelon seed that was black with a white spot on it.

I believed my dad was the nicest, greatest man in the whole universe (I still believe this one, actually).

I believed that world peace was a serious, attainable thing.

You can read in the DARK? Wow. (I personally need some light, even just a backlight.)


-If I didn't go to the bathroom before bed then the PeePee monster would come and eat my chooni
So, can I assume you DO NOT currently make a trip to the bathroom a nightly ritual?

Bad news: These are true.

There is the problem. You should have talk to the fairies about the flying thing. They could have helped you there.

As to the world peace, it is attainable. Not while there are humans on it, of course, but eventually.

  • I once told my Dad that trains didn't move, they stood still while the Earth rotated under them. (An interesting application of relativity for a 6 year old.)

    Dad didn't laugh at me, he just asked me to figure out how they went north and south.

  • I also once believed that Mom and Dad met at the Last Supper. (Mom was waiting tables and Dad was the bus-boy.) My Mom still swears this is true.

Yes I can, and I actually have to wear glasses now, so maybe this was true

Unfortunately, my body is conditioned that before I go to bed, I go to the bathroom. Even if I don't have to go, I still do just because its habit. You never know, there may be chooni monsters lurking around the corner! >.> <.<

Since moving up to Ohio, so 2-3 months.
