  • Book that my parents used to read to me before bedtime when I was a little kid. I should also have a copy of the Hobbit around here somewhere. Although I think one of my sisters is looking after a few of my old childhood things that weren't destroyed or lost over the years.

    • Fox and the Hound!!! Lovely film, devastating ending

      • Haven't actually watched it since my childhood (something that I think I'm going to change now) but yeah, between this and stuff like Watership Down and Never Ending Story, it definitely seems like the entertainment industry was trying to traumatize an entire generation for life lol.

    • TIL that was a book before it was a movie.

  • A small stone encrusted bronze box, in which I keep vaguely mystical objects in arrangements I do not fully understand. The selection of these objects has always held a remote fascination to me, and in three decades of doing so I have never revealed this secret to any soul.

  • Shit, a lot. We've got a big attic, and there's always been kids that visit, so throwing things away never seemed to be worth doing.

    I think the most important ones are the ones not in the attic though.

    My wind up Winnie the Pooh that plays the theme song, my Mattel Godzilla with the fire tongue, and spring loaded hand that shoots out; my Spider-Man doll (stuffed, with Velcro hands that used to have a cable that could be hooked to things and he'd slide down), and the pillow my grandmother made for me.

    All of them were significant as a kid. And they've all been a comfort to me in one way or another over the years.
