I can remember a time when I was nostalgic. The wind was rustling through the trees and I had on my new takkies my mother bought from the corner shop. It was a simpler, more innocent time. But I'm not nostalgic anymore.

@Secretia,
Yes. :-)

@Ron,
Yep. You actually CAN go home.

@Lee the Hot Flash Queen,
That's so funny I forgot to laugh..

@JW.BW,
How fun that will be for them! And you!

@Indigo Wrath,
Damn ban on artificial colors!

@Brndoutw8ress,
I know some people who used to go to Kennywood! I never did myself.

@Matthew,
It just hits you, doesn't it?

@Judge Fudge,
Oh, just wait...

@adrienzgirl,
Maybe they put something in Midol to make us this way.

@Kathryn,
Well, not EVERYTHING from childhood. Just the good stuff, :-)

@Knucklehead,
Yes! Do they still make that?

@Mia,
So I guess you're saying you aren't nostalgic,then?

I usually only get nostalgic over food, clouds, smells, movies, sounds, parks, snow, books, shops, wind, songs, trees, hospitals, rain, beaches, mountains, people, stamps in my passport.

This post was FABULOUS, sweetie! I guess that's a part of getting (just a teeny bit) older is that we've got all these great memories...wouldn't it be great if everything from our childhoods could never change? Love the ride....I felt like the child-Kathryn sitting next to the child-Chrissy...thanks for taking me along for the ride.
Now, I'm getting a piece of Juicy Fruit out of my dresser drawer!

Sentimental is my middle name. I don't know where the hell it comes from either. Strange, it's just strange how moved I get about stupid little things.

I've been thinking nostalgically about my years in college lately. Especially considering that this fall marked ten years since my freshman year! Where does the time go?

I found myself in an english sweet shop a few months ago and know exactly where you're coming from on the whole nostalgia thing.

Being as I'm from Pittsburgh, the amuzement park that I visited as a kid was Kennywood. We had the sister of your Big Dipper, the Little Dipper. It's been gone from the park for a long time but I can still remember the first time I rode with my mom! My first introduction to roller coasters wasn't all that great..I ended up crying through most of it but the memory is there all the same! Thanks for the memory jogger!

2009-11-06T03:13:03.830-05:00

I totally get it! It's just like the purple and orange Swizzler Double lollies I discovered again the other day. Less colourful than they used to be (damn the ban on artificial colours!) but they taste identical to the 2p ones I bought when I was ten. Gold dust! So we've BOTH gone gooey for nostalgic reasons this last week.

I think that's a sign of being perimenopausal, getting emotional over a roller coaster.(ducking)

2009-11-05T23:35:08.388-05:00

I so appreciate your sentiment, Chrissy, because I'm the same way.

I think there are times in our lives when sentiment hits us very strong. For me, it was when I moved back east to where I was born and began reconnecting to my roots. It brought up so many great sentimental memories for me, and like you...I found myself getting teary-eyed visiting places where as a child, I onced visited with my family. I can actually feel that sentiment as I say this.

You mentioned two thing here that I too have sentimental memories about. Juicy Fruit gum (which, BTW I just had some). And Fritos. LOVE em' both!

Great post, my friend. It made me feel all sentimental too!

That's thrilling, but no more thrilling than all the memories.
