1. Nerd.
2. I think summer more than anything was what made the year longer since I wanted out of school for 9 months out of the year. Of course me and Frown might be right about physiological reasons playing a part, I don't know.

If youre bored all the time life will go slower. Try it out. Stop having fun, no naps, and 6-8 hours of sleep max.

Late summer days. No school. Up early and the whole neighborhood outside playing. Dinner would include fresh picked COTC and watermelon from a local farm and then back outside until dark and a chorus of parents would start yelling that it was time to get home.

wash * rinse * repeat for the next few weeks until the next school year rolled around. Again.

That feeling of being ten and riding your bike ever farther through your neighborhood because you already knew the rest of it like the back of your hand and you needed adventure. Realizing there was an actual nature trail tucked away in my middle class suburban neighborhood was a top 10 coolest thing of my childhood. Like how the **** is there an honest to god meadow in this place?

100% relate. Actually making it into the next town was like breaking the law or something, i.e; exciting!

I thought time appeared to speed up when you’re older because each segment of time is a smaller piece of your time pie.

It's the VHS tape thing.

I miss those fun little plastic things that used to keep pizzas from sliding around in the boxes

I wasn't a fan of childhood either.

I would go back to the day I was smoking herb with my friends in high school when one of them (who became the other half of WISSK) put on Zappa's Inca Roads and I realized my love for experimental music. The marimba solo made me go cross eyed.
