What is your fondest childhood memories?

Were you a geek or part of the gang?

Did you ever feel that you were a wallflower?

watching Creature Double Feature on Saturdays with my Mom and Sister. The show was usually 2 Japanese B Monster movies back to back. Godzilla is a favorite of mine. We watched it while laying on an olive green sectional sofa and Ma would make us frozen pizza for lunch.

I was a gook that had some other geek friends for a time.

Still am a wallflower

I was part of a GANG of geeks, lol!!

Yes. Many, many times.

I don't remember how old I was, but I remember one time when I was young the movie The Wizard of Oz was broadcast on tv on my birthday, and it felt like they did it for my birthday. lol...

Hmm, I wasn't really a geek or part of any gang.
I was one of the loner/outsiders. :p

I guess this goes along with the previous answer.
Yeah, I never felt like I was part of any group. :o
Hugs, Jon

We soent our summers in Aspen, Colorado at the Music Festival and at the Arts Institute. It was a wonderful time of the year in an amazing place, listening to amazing music and immersing ourselves in artistic pursuits. There is a golden glow over my memories of those days.

Were you a geek or part of the gang?

I was a geek, but part of a gang of geeks so I fit right in.

Did you ever feel that you were a wallflower?

Of course, and I still am happier with my nose in a book than out in the limelight.

Swimming in my aunt's pool was my fondest childhood memory.

I was then and am now both a geek and a wallflower (but I'm much less a wallflower post high school than while I was there).

Hmmm. I think the time when I was four, and it was coming up on Christmas. I was taken to my Aunt Dorothy's for a few days, and that in itself was magical because I got to play with my cousin (who, being six years older, was probably bored to tears), got to play with glitter for the first time, and got driven around to see Christmas (and Hanukah lights). Then when my folks brought me home, it was after dark, and there was a lit tree (a tiny one), a cardboard fireplace & mantle with a light that looked like flames, and a metal gas station toy with a ramp & hoist and everything. To my four year old self, it was all magic. To my eyes, that cardboard fireplace was real, the tiny tree was beautiful, and the toy was beyond all my expectations.

Total geek. Book reading, comic book loving, writing and drawing my own comics, good in most things at school, sci-fi nut; the only non-geek thing was that I sucked at math.

Wallflower? No, not the way I understand the term. I did not go to social events, so I was never in the place where I was ignored. I just hung out with my three friends. (yes, if I'd gone to any social events I *would* have been left out. I'm well aware of that)

1 ) What is your fondest childhood memories?


Reading comic books. Reading books. Rainy days. Hanging out in my room.
Watching cartoons and science fiction shows and movies.


2 ) Were you a geek or part of the gang?

I was a loner.


3 ) Did you ever feel that you were a wallflower

I wasn't shy when I was a kid, but I do wish I had been a lot more reserved back then.

I was a three part loner , that was myself and two mates Gareth and Steve.

My entire childhood is one big favorite memory! :D yes, really.

I was a theatre nerd, but we have our own gang. It was great.

I think everyone does now and again, however, you don't have to be. You just have to be willing to get out there and be.

Like topum said, all the outdoorsy stuff, just like today.

I was with the theatre and outing club groups, so sort of both--part of geekier gangs.

Rarely. I'm quite extraverted. Maybe occasionally, with certain crowds, I liked to wait and watch first, but usually I dive right in.

1) Playing in my garden on my own.

2) I was part of a geeky gang.

3) Still am a bit of a wallflower sometimes, especially if I don't feel comfortable, which is a lot.

My fondest memory from childhood would be Christmas Day; up at the crack of dawn to see what Santa brought, then dressing up (there was usually a new dress to wear among the gifts!)and going to church, next a visit to "Grammy's", where the aunts and uncles (on Dad's side)and dozens of cousins would all converge and everyone brought some food item to be shared for lunch. From there we would go to our aunt's houuse (Mom's side), where another ton of aunts ,uncles and cousins met! The highlight would be a very tired Santa coming to visit and give out "one last present' to each child. The 'recipient' was required to sing, play an instrument, recite a poem,etc. for Santa! After Santa went on his weary way back to the North Pole, the kids fixed a plate of food from the spread on the kitchen table, and carried their plate upstairs to watch Dickens' "Scrooge" on TV! The adults would then have their meal downstairs. When it was time to go, we'd all budle up for the ride home and be very glad to pile into bed after a long fun-filled day!!

I had LOTS of friends in school, and though I was bright, I was more into art and music and not 'geeky'

No, I was very outgoing and a good dancer and if a boy didn't ask me to dance, I'd ask him!!

So many! Riding one of our horses at a canter around the property would probably come out tops.

Neither. I was a bit of a loner. But did have a few special friends here and there. I did write plays and cajole friends to act in them. Does this put me in the geek category?

Hmmm...no. Too good looking for that. I had to fend off young men who reckoned I had 'bedroom eyes' and other such nonsense.

Catching frogs and tadpoles down at ponds in the woods that surround the neighbourhood where I grew up.

I was both a geek and part of a group, but because I was the geek, I always wound up being the leader of the group. Kinda counter-intuitive but ...

I was most definitely a shy wallflower though. Except when I told an adult who was a friend when he asked why I wasn't dancing with a girl, I confessed I was a bit of a wallflower which he misunderstood as me telling him I was gay so he kept trying to get me to dance with his son as a way of him telling me it was okay if I was gay ... which I wasn't ... but now that I think of it, his willingness to jump to that conclusion leads me to suspect he thought he was confirming his own suspicions when he misinterpreted what I was telling him. Ach ... no matter.
