my brothers and i used to do a toy story type scenario. toy story - where we were the toys having to hide from our owners, and also very basic live action D&D. This was before we knew D&D existed, but we had all the characters mapped out, etc... was fun. :) except that I'm pretty sure all of us ALWAYS wanted to win, so that made it difficult to have a running plot that was interesting and actually worked. There was a lot of 'then i killed you,' "but i wasnt really dead and I killed YOU!" etc. :)

I used to pretend to be a mermaid or that I could just breathe underwater and I would pretend my room was under the sea and I'd go hunting for clams.

I studied Wiccan for a bit. Uh, your game of Cowboys and Indians sounds sadly racist! The Indians NEVER won?!?

Ooh, fun question. I was one of those little kids who played with imaginary people...I pretended to be hanging out with Disney characters (namely Eric from The Little Mermaid and John Smith from Pocahontas). I often also pretended that my various toys were real. All fun stuff :P

Harry Potter is awesome for everyone though, honestly. When the seventh book came out, my mom and I had to take turns reading it.

i would pretend i was famous singer or animals. used to pretend i was a cat more than anything else. didn't have a lot of friend most of my school years, so i was pretty much a loner.

I pretended all my action figures were living in a small town and would get attacked by dinosaurs. Except that was yesterday. haha..

I too wish I grew up with Harry Potter. I discovered the magic a few months after HBP came out.

Am I lame because I used to pretend to be a mommy more than anything else?
