I really like stationery
When I was little I used to have lots of different pencil cases which would suit my mood and fancy pens (metallic ftw) and all sorts of charmingly useless crafty things. Yikes maths sets were pretty awesome too.

What obsessions do you associate with your childhood? (and no Supermatt, your obsession with childhood doesn't count).

Is that collecting
or just amassing a huge amount of shit?

We used to make traps for the local mucky kids, the Baileys.
We caught one once and tied him to a tree, then went home for our tea.

I like moving about.
When I was a child, I went through a phase of having an obsessive fear of getting air in my blood stream. I'd read something about it being fatal.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 19 Jun 2008, 18:06, archived)
well it is fatal.

(I helped save b3ta! TopUpTheTea you ain't seen me, right?, Thu 19 Jun 2008, 18:08, archived)
Not that fatal.
It takes a good bit to kill you. Like, bits of air in syringes don't do anything to you.
(I helped save b3ta! Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Thu 19 Jun 2008, 18:09, archived)
but a full syringe of air would, right?

(I helped save b3ta! TopUpTheTea you ain't seen me, right?, Thu 19 Jun 2008, 18:10, archived)
Hmmm, maybe a 20cc one.
I'm not sure.

there has to be enough of it
so that there's still a nice big bubble by the time it reaches your heart. It would probably split into small bubbles if you injected it into a peripheral vein, and get released in the lungs.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 19 Jun 2008, 18:13, archived)
yeah but you can't get it from pneumatic lego sets,

Electro, diglet, nidoran, mankey, venosaur, rattata, spearow, pidgey...
I used to be able to rap all 150.

Yoyos, pog are also cool. I remember one time when the biggest pog collector at my school decided he was sick of it all and stood on top of the climbing frame and threw all his pogs onto the floor... there was a riot.

I used to take their heads off and stuff red tissue paper in the hole and then hang them in my window.
But not very often as we weren't allowed to have particularly gendered toys.

I had a shrink assessment the other day and they ask you all these general questions to cover all bases.
One of them was 'have you ever been sexually abused by your parents or anyone else?'

I told my Dad they asked this and the first thing he did was goose me and then say 'ha, now you can tell them about that'

I loved 'em. Wooden, hard, durable, etc. I used to carve the bark off and get the wood all naked and stuff...

My walking stick is blonde hickory, handle wrapped with black parachute cord. Lovingly finished with hand-rubbed tongue oil after drying and sanding to 800 grit.

It's just a stick. ;-)
