Fads

We all remember pogs and yoyos and pogo sticks. But what about recently, what fads are you guilty of following?

And also, what are those damn plastic toys we used to fight with called. Gogos? DAMNIT. Cannot remember the name for the life of me.

pogs and football stickers, those were the days.
no fads sadly, growing up is rubbish.

I had TONS of pogs. I also had a furby, that was big for awhile. Oh, and I've probably played every gameboy Pokemon game ever made.

Sure do!! Pro-yos and all that. I had a green one and thought it was the coolest thing ever!!

I had Pokemon cards and pogs and all the rest, but I have to say that I rediscovered the joys of tamagotchis over the summer......the new ones have babies and all sorts!!

i want one again! they were AWESOME.

Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.

There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.

Oh I remember so many fads! Ahh! Only in primary school though...by high school I didn't really even know what sort of fad was on the go! And now I am even more clueless!

Snap bracelets(though I never had one!)
Tamagotchi
Pokemon
Pogs
Yo-yo's
Thoes aliens!
Polly Pocket (never really had one though)
Furbys
Those wee bears that you gave a bottle too...never had one either.

emmm oh and stickers! football! Pokemon! What ever sticker collection was popular at the time!



You made up your mind to torture mine!
If you read a scar like a book, you will relise the story in which you over look
red ribbons were weaving
upon the young girls skin.
a trail of red weaved deep,
caused by pain from within

Scoobies were *in* when I was *ahem* 11.
They weren't banned then though.

But that was ancient history.
