Tell us something odd that you were totally fascnicated with as a youngin/child.
Tell us something that you are totally fasnicated with now as a non-younging.

Youngin = Those springy door stops.
Non-youngin = Color Christmas lights. They're so calming.

I sense a common bewilderment by the power that is the slinky doin' it's slinky thing.

As a youngster, I was intrigued by that floral foam stuff. I crushed way more of that than should be allowed. Now I'm fascinated by plasma arc gassifiers, anaerobic digesters, and the law of unintended consequences.

Youngin: silly putty, I used to stick it on new papers to copy some of the words and stick on another paper lol

non- youngin: Paranormal stuff xD and traveling.

youngin'-my dads walkman (the old school portable tape player, with the silver adjustable headphones for anyone who remembers)
non-youngin'-I find myself obsessed with female fronted rock bands for some reason...

 

[Jullianna]

Youngin - marbles (especially the bright colored clearies) and skateboards
Non-youngin - cameras and musical instruments

Dude, I did the doorstop thing too! I also used to love taking my sleeping bag and sleeping anywhere in the house but my room. Lol

Currently I have a fascination with vegetable gardening, though I'm not too skilled yet.

 

[Hellooo]

Young: playing with gun powder poppers, bubble wrap, kites, making mix tapes

Now: Making nice things out of old things with mod podge, paint, fabric, and/or pretty paper

 

[Catlynn]

Ooh!

When I was young I used to love dressing up with this friend of mine in his cowboy boots and cowboy clothes and going out in the woods and playing war games with their toy guns. XD

Now......I'd totally still dress up and go do that! Maybe with paintball instead though....
