Nostalgia

I spent the past weekend taking a roadtrip up to Buffalo for [personal profile] lediva's 10th high school reunion.

I got to meet random people she knows from a long time ago, eat her top choice of junk foods from all over her hometown, drag old stories about her out of her parents, sneak peeks at old pictures that she didn't like but I thought were cute in a dorky high school kind of way, sleep on the couch downstairs in the living room, and generally get immersed in what it might have been like to hang out with her as a teenager.

I got to continue this in the home game by agreeing to try to sell a bunch of her old gaming magazines which her parents wanted out of the house on eBay before recycling them. So if anyone wants random old gaming magazines from the mid-late eighties, , they're here. They probably won't make you warm and fuzzy the same way they are making me right now, but if they are your style of nostalgia, go for it.

Nice. I think my brother still has many of his copies of those Zines.

My youngest is presently on a mission to find our old Atari and Nintendo consoles in my Dad's garage.

I don't do the eBay thing (never works out well for me) but I guarantee I'd get a warm fuzzy. *grin*
