Oh my God, that totally brings me back. lol I feel old now. I had this great teacher and every month we had to do what he called an Interest Project. It was a presentation. We could do it on anything. So one month I did my project on Neopets. I never got into the battle arena. I focused on getting paintbrshes and I FINALLY got a faerie paint brush, a cow paint brush, a Egyptian paint brush, and another one but I don't remember what it was. Then I got all my petpets. I used to love meerca chase and my favourite neopet was the acara. Do you remember the fall of Maraqua and the whole thing over the Gyptian land... I don't rmember what it's called... ?

From the day I got my own Cricket kit (thanks to my dad). I used to wear the national shirt, trousers, gloves and pads on EVERY single cricket match and stand with a bat in front of the TV.

Watched the ball, then threw my own tennis ball at a wall and re-enacted the shot...also used to imitate the english commentary (I was in Pakistan).

Heck, I actually named the (grand)son of a maid who used to work at our house: Jayasuriya (I was around 6-8 so it's understandable)

Later in life...I started re-enacting WWE the same way (ie. with commentary). In school, "stunning" the person sitting next to me in class...wrestling with waist-height neck roll pillows on my springy mattress.

Ah, the good ol' days.

volutarily?

oh and i used to play Pokemon in the computer lab using a GBA emulator . I was responsible for copying VGBA and pokemon roms over all PCs in the lab XD (we didn't have internet in the labs back in my school in Pakistan and all terminals were monitored in real-time)...I just pulled the ethernet plug XD.

Once, i also pulled off a RAM stick from one of those PCs when there was a CD drive bay opening in the casing

I LOVED THOSE! I had Under The Sea, the Digestive System, and the Rainforest. I liked the Under The Sea game the best, though. Now I want to play them, too!

I think for a while i just had a big piece of metal which always flipped them over
Then people called me a cheater and I had to demoted back to plastic :(

I had the metal ones as well, hence them being dangerous!

On a really girly note, my cousin and I would re-enact Sailor Moon episodes... transformations and all. We made these giant books (which we eventually had to switch to 3 inch binders) with as many pictures as we could find, bio/personal/costume (you name it) information, and all their sticks and whatnot. It eventually moved on to these really lame, but kinda cute for 10-13 yr olds (now that I look at it) Geocities websites (which got taken down... :'() ....
Eh, it's not like I still look through my book...
....
...


When Inuyasha came out, my little brother kept on screaming "Wind Scar!!!" and scratching me (which is incorrect, btw), and then I pretended to hit him with a hanger made into Sango's weapon and then the war started (and never quite ended).

I think I bought (without my parents knowing - and I'm brown, imagine that) every single DBZ video game (on a variety of systems) to date. Goku is AWESOME My bro always kicked my ass though >.<

I gotta say that no one I ever tried to play the YuGiOh/Digimon/Pokemon card games with ever knew how to play, including me... we would just start hacking at each other with the assumed card's powers, and all the adults would be like "WTF are you doing?!?" when the verbal abuse started, lmfao.
