Nope. I was definitely bed ridden and was forced to drink plenty of water (yuk! at the time). ^_^ I got to sleep in mom and dad's great big bed during the day. Obviously I got restless a lot so while the door was closed I would get up and have fun with my stuffies. Since it wasn't an area I got to play in normally it was the greatest thing EVER!

The last few days though I was able to go outside and play on my swingset (I was probably starting to whine about my "captivity" at that point, no doubt, though I can't recall). No video games at that age. Just my swingset and my sandbox <3

We didn't have many legos in my house. Obviously we had one or two sets but for us we enjoyed Lincoln Logs a LOT more. ... I would create houses for my stuffies or pretend they were in cages or in jail. Legos pissed me off - the older brother (like in his teens) would build robots and really impressive things with the legos... and obviously being 5 I didn't have that creative capability yet. ... It pissed me off so I fell out of love with the things. ^_^;; .... >_< I STILL HATE LEGOS!! Unfortunately... I still do not have the creative capability to construct something.

....Which reminds me. I got an Erector Set from my dad when I was like 10ish. Greatest thing on earth. I enjoyed creating things from the designs that came with it. Until one day my dad built something that wasn't in a design. o_o ... .... soon after I got pissed off at the erector set and stopped playing with it. *sigh* -_-; I'm just not "creative" in that way it seems and it really kills my joy of the object.

We had a giant box of legos... fucking loved them. Of course we also had old thick shag carpet, so the lego men would get trapped and die if we weren't careful. I used to look through the lego catalog and drool... those sets were so expensive!

Lincoln Logs were awesome, too. Had a big set of them.

I always wanted one of these:

my mom's classroom had one, so I'd go after school and play with it.

aaarhrhghghggh I always wanted one... !

Believe it or not, was part of my inspiration of building a 1/2 knee length standing robot made of different vehicles that have two interchangeable vehicle modes, all from Lego.

Also, cranes. Something about black thread, a pulley and a winch made me enjoy Lego. I never ever had one of the sets that contained the Lego crane. Thus, a reason to build one of my own.

It's been a long time since I played with Lego. Interesting to note however, my 26 year old cousin (one year older than me), is currently an avid Lego collector.

Also, I like how Halo, (a series in which EVERY game has been rated "M") has it's own Mega Bloks/other Lego Clone sets.

Last time I checked, the target audience for Mega Bloks toys can't buy M rated games by themselves.
Just goes to show you how many small children make up the Halo fanbase.

Also, I started putzing around with RMVX.

I'll link to details of my various projects in my signature as they show up, so I'll be even more quieter on the boards than I used to

Unfortunately I can't link to the page from within the image oh well.
