As a spin off from some similar threads, what were you like as a baby/child?<br><br><br><br>
My mother said I was a very quiet and curious baby. I slept through the night and was very easy going. Pretty much what I am like now (though I no longer sleep through the night.)

I was really really shy. And afraid of new people lol. I dont know why. I grew out of it. But I was not shy around people I knew really well.

I was a saint, though my mom thought i was deaf, she use to bang pots by my ear and i wouldnt even flinch. I had to see the dr a bunch of times because of it. Turned out my hearing was fine, im just really good at ignoring my mom. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
but growing up i was the child that parents use as a model: why cant you be more like majake? majake gets good grades why cant you? majake buries his bodies so no one finds them and you just put them anywhere.<br><br><br><br>
my mom could never ground me cause i spent most of my time in my room anyway.<br><br><br><br>
i had 2 brothers growing up, i got my own room, even though i was the middle one, cause i wasnt a slob.<br><br><br><br>
i never read as a kid, just watched TV

I was loud, obnoxious, I sang all the time, recited poems all the time (Shel Silverstein, baby <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">), I wanted to be Jewish because I like menorahs, I also wanted blond hair, I didn't realise there was a difference between boys and girls until my cousin got a boyfriend, and then, of course, I had to have one, too.<br><br><br><br>
Since I have 3 brothers, I played with toys that were generally considered for boys use only, and I was teased a lot when I went to school.<br><br><br><br>
I went to a hick school until 3rd grade. They thought I was a genius, there, because I could actually read. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> At said hick school, I was sent to the higher grades for reading class. Then when I went to a city school, I became this hermit crab-like creature, because the other girls made fun of me because I read comic books and didn't shop at Limited Too.<br><br><br><br>
In middle school, I was still a hermit crab. I also tried to fit in by acting/dressing like the other girls for a short period of time. That ended when I overheard one of my 'friends' saying "Omigosh, that weird girl, you know, Kat? Yeah, she, like, called me, and asked if I wanted to go to her house. Ugh!" After that, I hung out with boys more often, and I stopped wearing skirts. So, naturally, all those girls thought I was really a lesbian. "Ohmigosh, she actually spent the night at my house! Ugh! She could so totally have kissed me!"<br><br><br><br>
Ah, memories...

I was the kid who always demanded that my rents pay attention solely to me. I took my good ole time sleeping through the night, and later in my early childhood, I had ear infections one right after another. I still wanted my parents' sole attention when my sister was born and I was 2, but I didn't receive it. I was mostly a loner, but I had a few friends come and go. Mostly go. I got on better in groups than with individuals because the moral expectations of the group often kept them from openly dissing me. I got along much better with adults. I read a lot. I first got online at the age of 12. I know pretty much what I did then in regards to computers.

I was a complete TomBoy. I built a tree house myself and practically lived in it. My best friends were all boys. I hated school, but loved recess & PE I was a gifted athlete, but read well below my grade level. In the 6th grade, I set a new school record for the softball throw...then some boys teased me.<br><br>
In 7th grade, I wanted the boys to see me as more than a chum, so I started dressing like a girl. My dream in 7th grade was to hold a certain boys hand...but alas, he chose my best friend.<br><br>
Now, I hate sports & exercise, but I love to read.<br><br>
I've always had strong opinions...that hasn't changed.

 

[mushroom]

I am the "baby" too. I adored my siblings, but I got *crushes* on most of my sister's boy friends...I was 8 & 9 and they were 18 & 19, but many of them were very sweet to me...took me to the beach & Dairy Queen etc. (even after my sister would dump them) Not having a father around...I ate it up.

 

[stonecrest]

i was apparently a pretty immature boy in my elementary school years <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> i was constantly getting in trouble and getting notes home from teachers. it was mostly because i couldn't stop talking in class, especially my 'library' class. i grew out of this thankfully.<br><br><br><br>
i also used to be extremely shy but i've finally been growing out of that. same goes for depression. come to think of it, i've pretty much made a complete 180 in just about every aspect of my life. heck, i even used to be a decently cute baby heh.<br><br><br><br>
does anyone else have a hard time believing majake?

stonecrest - used to be...come on! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

 

[majake]

if you dont believe me you can ask my mom, just as soon as i untie her and let her out of the basement.

 

[Funkified]

i believe you, majake. are you part of the german mafia too? (just kidding you FBI lurkers)

 

[Skylark]

Funk,<br><br>
Actually, majake is keeping his mother there for her own protection. Were she allowed out, she would likely further the cause of omni-ism by eating things majake doesn't want her to. This way, she is always grateful to see him and gladly accepts any food that he brings to her.<br><br><br><br>
Isn't that right, majake?<br><br><br><br>
BTW, I honestly have no idea whether majake's mother is veg*n or omni.
