Catalyst One Hundred and Fourteen is: What are your best/worst memories of school?
Thoughts:
During my senior year in college, my husband, his roommate Jason, and I spent an exorbitant amount of time playing a computer game called “Full Throttle.” It was many years ago and so the games weren’t nearly as sophisticated as today’s games are. The game’s main character is a motorcyclist and you can make him do things by clicking on items and choosing an action. Depending on what you chose the character reacts. For example you can click on a door and choose “open,” etc. You can also choose a garbage bin and choose “lick” which will then make the character say “I’m not puttin’ my lips on that.” Which we would do over and over again just to hear him say it. In one part of the game, the character is looking for a secret passage and has to find it by kicking this wall all over until he finds it. If you try for a long time, he says “I’ll never find that secret passage.” and since I was quite bad at the game, I heard that over and over again. To this day, it’s one of those rare memories that brings me right back to my college days and my husband and I use random sentences from the game all the time. Like an inside joke.
I love the fact that I’ve known my husband for so long and we have so many memories just like this.
Awww! Memories are the best thing ever.
And I’m feeling so inspired by all the sewing on your layouts. I NEED to keep my machine out, not down in the cabinet!
yes! you must keep it on your table. that’s what I do now and it’s so easy to just grab it. it’s out, plugged in, ready to use. I even keep all the extra bobbins and threads right next to my machine, outside, too.
What fabulous memories from college! Your layout is gorgeous and captures the memory perfectly. 😉
thank you! i must admit i miss college very much!
