Welcome, My Sillies! Together we'll uncover morsels of sweetness in the light and dark. You'll crave chocolate. I'm a naughty influence. {Note: I avoid Hershey's but partake in regular fixes of fair trade and organic varieties.} Please enjoy a ravenous sampling, and may you fast become addicted. Cheers to all things sweet. That, Dear Sillies, includes you.
Cute poems! It's great that you still have them! I'd love to dig out some of my old stuff. Except I think most of it is lost to time. And the trashcan.
Fantastic comics! See? The talent was there. Incredibly, I still have a collection of stories I wrote back in the 70s (no, my characters didn't all wear platform shoes and polyester slacks). Plus, I have my 1st grade primer (no, it wasn't on a couple pieces of stone). What's more, I STILL have all my teeth.
OMG, Robyn you rocked at 12. I am sure I would have wanted to be your friend! Isn't is so fun to look back! I found a journal from when I was 11. It was me mostly calling a certain friend a brat, lol ( she was too) Hope you have a wonderful day! Lots of love gi gi
How amazing that you still have your writing from when you were a kid. That would have been lost forever. I have nothing like that and I bet I wrote some gripping (not) stuff. Aren't kids minds weird!
Thank you, dear people. I am glad I thought to keep a few notebooks/albums from ancient times. Still, I can picture some of my art that was pretty darn good (better than I can do now) but ended up as landfill or something.
It is fun looking back.
Gigi, I called my friends much worse things than "brat" in my diary (just not to their faces, as they probably deserved).
Keetha, it was probably due to the effects of HR PuffnStuff.
I don't know why I was obsessed with refried beans. But kids have always been fixated on (sorry to say) passing gas. "Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you..." I guess I'd just learned that one around age 12.
ah 1978.. remember it well.. Grease, Battlestar Galactica, winning the school swimming championships... my last year of primary school before the misery of secondary..
That is awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd it is a great week now that you are back.
I think it's neat that you still have stuff like that!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! What made you think of refried beans at that age? Love it!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of TV were you watching in those days?????
Hehehehehehe
Fabulous! Although I'm pretty sure that at 12 I had no idea what a refried bean was.
ReplyDeleteOMG, Robyn you rocked at 12. I am sure I would have wanted to be your friend!

ReplyDeleteAll I know is - I wouldn't have wanted to be behind Mother Hubbard after she ate all those beans !
ReplyDeleteA poet and an artist! You're amazing!

Be well, friends.

Beans are also a magical fruit. The more you eat 'em, the more you...well, you get the idea.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it odd to go back and see all those foriegn looking scribbles? I'm always amazed at how much I have forgotten. funny post! Blessings, Joanne
ReplyDeleteRight now I am justing wishing I had been 12 in 1978! Nice works of literature though Robyn.
ReplyDeleteThat Jack needs to invest in a belt so Jill doesn't laugh at his penis size anymore.

ReplyDeleteah 1978.. remember it well.. Grease, Battlestar Galactica, winning the school swimming championships... my last year of primary school before the misery of secondary..

Those are so cute! :)
ReplyDeleteRobyn, this is soooooooooo funny! I'll bet you had everyone in stitches when you were a kid. I'm glad you kept this. xo
ReplyDeleteI love these sneak peaks into your sense of humor as a child. I wish I would have kept mine. This one's great.
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone. I was a serious kid. Seriously. Guess I unleashed with pen in hand. Some things don't change too much.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend.

Wow, I didn't think The Gap Band's lyrics could ever be dominated.
ReplyDelete"Jack and Jill went up the hill to have a little fun
Stupid Jill forgot her pill and now they got a son"
Your Jack and Jill poem has dominated The Gap Band.
Refried beans! LOVE IT!! A girl after my own heart! (No, I didn't fart.)
ReplyDeleteLol. That reminds me of my old rhymes. :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I like your new header. :)
