If someone asked me what movie most relates to me and how I feel, I'd probably say Peter Pan. Peter wanted to stay a young boy and well, so do I. The latest craze(where I live anyway) for teens is to wear little kid bags and accessories. I myself have an elmo bag,pjs and lots of other elmo things- he's really cute. I'm not just doing it because it's in fashion it's coz it's an excuse to relive my childhood. I don't think I appreciated my childhood enough or maybe I didn't get much of one( I have a disabled brother with autism and he wasn't very well behaved when he was younger so a lot of my parents time was with him. I also had to grow up quicker. I was faced with the real world early on, I couldn't just pretend that life was all about rainbows and unicorns). I'm 14 now and still look at the children's toy catalogues and go round the toy section in the shops, I read barbie magazine when my friends were reading the teen mags, I love my boardgames and I like playing with my toys from when I was younger oh and I like to watch a couple of the little kiddie shows. Don't get me wrong though I'm not a total little kid either- I like makeup fashion music, etc I'm just wishing for my childhood again. As my friend said to me once "You're a teenager trapped in a child's body".

don't worry, when I was a litte kid I was never into playing dress-up, girly things, ect but now that I'm 18(almost 19) I've been acting like a total little kid, my favorite movies nowadays are all disney, I'm obsessed with fairies, and spend all my christmas money on toys!

I was in the toy section yesterday looking at barbies. They have some really pretty dolls now wearing better clothing than I have.
I enjoyed my childhood, but it was much too short. Now it feels like it was a really fast run through years 4-13.
But whatever about being grown up and having to be stodgy and unfun. Pay your bills, sure, but forget the rest. Go play.
I've found grown up ideas of "fun" at the bar, or spending too much money, or other blah pursuits boring.

Wow, what a crazy story behind it, I never knew that! x

Does anyone know the story behind why Peter Pan was written? I promise I'm not full of shit here, I learned it in Psych last year. The boy's brother (who happened to be the Mom's favorite child) died young. So everytime the boy entered his mothers room, the Mom would call out the deceased boys name. This caused the boy to have serious developmental issues, and his balls never dropped (for a lack of a better phrase). So as an adult, the boy wrote Peter Pan...a child forever.

Toy sections are still awesome, except Lego seems to have gone downhill - I used to read the Lego catalogues for hours, when they had those giant pictures with giant setups...amazing Happy
