So, how much of the ..........?

Question

...... "little boy" (or "little girl") still resides in you?

The other day, at work, we were having a meeting about a fairly complex experiment and my mind wandered off. I started daydreaming about saving the planet from evil Zorkons from the planet of Zork.

Till someone noticed that I was staring into space and snapped me out of it. "What are you thinking about?", he asked. "Oh, just thinking about an alternative", I answered, with a deep-thinking furrow in my brow.

Answer 2

I have always done this thing since I was little. I do some repetitive motion until I start to daydream, usually it is throwing a ball in the air then catching it. For some reason this causes me to daydream. Ever since I was a kid I'd always use that time to envision dragon ball Z characters fighting eachother. Now the plots have gotten more complex, but I still do it.

Answer 3

Hon, that sounds a little bit like what I have, which is called Maladaptive Daydreaming. It's a condition that causes excessive daydreaming. The daydreaming is often elaborate and detailed, like a book or movie. Take a look at this website to learn more:

Answer 4

Sorry. Nobody is home. You can leave a message which will likely be ignored.



In some ways, I have not yet grown up. In other ways, you can keep those aspects of youth. I have no desire to climb a tree or chase rabbits or birds with a salt shaker. Memories are nice. But some things are best left as memories. I would likely hurt myself acting like a kid again.

Answer 5

There is a little girl in me by the name of Abby, she comes out every once in awhile but there also is a mean old lady that harasses her alot and the nice old man that gives her candy and the motorcycle chick that takes her for rides. There are a few other characters that comes out of my head on occasion but they are down right crazy. Whats bad is when more than one comes out and I have to gather them up and put them back in my head. Thats a task that isnt easy to master.



Oh and Im Helga, the German masseuse with the pet rhino talking now. NIce to meet you Rowdy, "you like massage, me got strong hands and big feet, great for walking on your back"

Answer 6

When I think of Zork, I think of the Great Underground Empire (before your time, sonny), the Flatheads, and the granola mines. Also, grues. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zork



I have decided that I won't allow society to tell me whether or not I can enjoy something, based on my age. I have a couple of coloring books (one with geometric designs, the other with butterflies) and sometimes I pull them out and work on a picture or two. My husband got rather jealous of this, so I got HIM a couple of coloring books, too, of muscle cars and pirates. We share my box of 96 crayons. One of the best things about being an adult is that you can go ahead and purchase that huge box of crayons that you always wanted as a kid. A few years ago I bought myself some sea monkeys, which I had always wanted as a child, and which my parents always refused to get me. They were fun for a while, but not nearly as fun as I had imagined.



My husband grew up in a very, very poor family, and rarely got toys and treats other than at Christmas. So every couple of weeks, I bring home a treat for him. Maybe it's a bag of salted peanuts (he loves them, but never buys them for himself), maybe it's a coloring book, maybe it's a miniature red wagon (he uses it to store his remote controls, it's just the right size. The point is, it's something that's completely unnecessary, and a complete surprise. It makes him feel cherished.

Answer 7

Well, I miss that little girl inside me, when I am forced to discipline my daughter. The thing is that if I could, I would join her in her little mischief's most of the times. She reminds me of my younger self so much. I also had learned pretty early in my life to deal with abrasive characters around me by imagining them as 5 yo without pants and missing a few front teeth. I still use that trick from time to time. When life gets tough and I feel that I am about to reach my limit, I close my eyes and imagine myself in my happy place for a few moments. As I grew up, my happy places had changed dramatically, but the feeling is still the same. We never manage to completely grow up somehow, even the most serious of us have a childish side to them hidden deep inside of their soul.

Answer 8

Nice save, Rowdy! =^-*=



Lots of her. I see her every time I look in the mirror. It used to be sad, now I am glad that I've held onto some childlike qualities.

Answer 9

A little bit, I enjoy playing video games from my youth (Sonic the Hedgehog/Mario/Crash Bandicoot).

Answer 10

I watched the Powerpuff Girls the other day and almost bought Hello Kitty panties, that should answer your question.

Answer 11

So you're saying you have a short attention span?
