Never Grow Up/Emma and Matt......Part One....

I'm going to find Neverland. 

Don't laugh, I will, and when I do, I'll kidnap Ley and drag her there with me.  XD  I already promised that on Lakehouse.  Who's with me?  *crickets, crickets*  Really?  No one?  Well then, I'll give you reasons why I NEED to find Neverland.  Or at least, really want to.  :P 

First of all, there's this song:

*starts to sob*  I went hysterical over that song......Eh, that's a TOTALLY different story though.  XD

Then there's this song:

What?  It's a happy song?  Well, yeah, I know, but you see, I've got MEMORIES from that song!!!!!!  Happy memories, but still, they make me cry!!!!! 

I've discovered that I am old.  I'm the oldest kid of my family (at least my really close family) and I feel old.  Like after your birthday and people will ask you if you feel any older, well, my half birthday was last month, and I FEEL OLD!!!!!!!!!!

I cleaned my room.  Big mistake.  I tore apart my bookshelf and went under my bed, and re-did my doll things, all while listening to Owl City.  *headdesk*  I shouldn't have done that.

I found books, journals, magazines, CDs, dolls, doll outfits and accessories, and SO much more that made me want to curl up and cry.  This is why I need Neverland. 

I was reminiscing about all the doll games I played with my dear cousin and sister, and it made me realize that.....I'm growing up.  I'm going into high school next year, and I won't have time to be just a kid any more.  I'm NOT a kid anymore.  I'm a teenager, who is really bad at managing her time, who is trying to get good at the viola, teach herself and take on more responsibility with homeschooling.  I miss playing with Chibi and Nutmeg......maybe we'll play another game this summer.  XD 

Like the Emma and Matt game.
One word to describe that /series/ of games:  DRAMA.  (or long)
Like, 100% drama.  XDD  If it were on fanfic, the genre would be Drama/Angst.  XD  Seriously.
I'm going to make myself feel better and have part of this post be on the Emma and Matt games.  ;)  I'll give y'all a run down of the events for the most part, even though you probably don't care.  xDD

So, it started with twin sisters Emma and Emily.  Emma and Emily lived with a bunch of other friends/sisters.  They were orphans.  Kirsten, Molly, Samantha, and Elizabeth were the other sisters.  The villain of the beginning of the story was an old lady who used to own the orphanage the girls escaped from.  The lady is offering a reward for the girls event though it's been several years.  XD  So she hunts them down, and somehow (i kinda forget now, this started probably four or five years ago) Emma and Emily left home and went into hiding.  Emily's character (Chibi's character) was fairly hilarious.  Emma (my character) was more practical.  They both ran away from home with nothing but a bag of clothes and food, their dogs, and some essential items for their jobs.  I think when we started this game, the girls were about 17......but I can't remember exactly.  Even though they were old, Emily's personality (even years later) was that of a spunky 13+ year old girl.  xDD  She was awesome.  We STILL laugh hysterically over Emily's antics. 

Anywho, back to the story.  ;)  Emma and Emily went into hiding in the woods in the nature preserve at the edge of the town they lived in.  (this is fairly modern day btw).  The girls slept in tents (we had actual doll tents) and they got supplies from trips to town.  Emily wrote (on her typewriter, no computers) for the town's newspaper, and Emma worked at the city gym, teaching different classes.  She was also a dancer.  Emma had a boyfriend.  (even when I was young I liked romance!!!  XD)  Emma's boyfriend was Matt.  (there were no boy American Girl dolls, so we just pretended that Matt was there talking to them.  I did Matt's voice.  It was actually very funny.  :P)  Emma and Matt went on dates and everything, and eventually he found out about Emily and Emma's living conditions and built them a cabin.  He helped buy them food and got their clothes washed and everything.  He was an ideal boyfriend in a ten year old's eyes.  XDD 

A bunch of other things happened, and Emma and Matt got married.  :)  Emily was all for it, Matt brought the food.  :P 
Now for the more hilarious parts.  :P  Whenever I did Matt's voice (I was like, ten, doing a grown man's voice wasn't easy for me!) I would often forget to make it lower sounding.  xD  So Chibi and I have this running gag where we'd go "hey dollface," in a high squeaky-ish voice, and then say "ooh, let me get my big voice on...eh-ah-ooh...Ooh!!" in a deeper voice.  XDDD  It was SO funny.  We still laugh about it.  :P  Other running gags were when Matt and Emma kissed, (another thing a ten year old didn't really know how to do or sound out) we'd go, "Mmmmhhhhhhmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnhhhhhhh" over and over until we fell over laughing so hard.  :P  It was really, REALLY funny.  :P  LOL!!
Then there was Kirsten, Samantha, and Molly (Nutmeg's dolls) who were funny too.  Crazy things happened to them on a side story.  :P  Molly's glasses were always breaking, Kirsten ate ho-hos to help with the grief of her sisters running away, and they'd send letters to Emma and Emily on the 'magic wind' which would somehow end up RIGHT in front of their door!!!!!  AMAZING!  XDDDDD  I'm laughing so hard just thinking about it!!!!  :P 

Anyway, so concludes the first summer of Matt and Emma. These games lasted probably three summers in a row.  Maybe even four!  LOL!  (well, not four because I didn't do one last summer. :P)  Anyway, it was quite fun, and now we have tons of inside jokes about Matt and Emma.  And Emily.  :P  I'll do Part Two of Emma and Emily and Matt's story later.  xD

Okay!  That was fun!  :P  Other games included the ultra long Barbie games, the Bitty Baby (also a branch of American Girl) games, the Littlest Pet Shop games, the My Little Pony games (seriously, my sister LOVES these things.  I hate them, but we played with her so my mother wouldn't get angry for not playing with Nutmeg) and the all important Moxie Girlz games.  I actually still love Moxie Girlz.  They're like Barbies but a little different.  :P  I have.......five.  One boy and four girls.  (don't laugh)  We (Nutmeg, Chibi and I) have played several games with them.  The first and longest and probably the best game was played two summers ago (wow, time flies!!!  XD)  It was a game where my doll, (Becca) was a mermaid, Chibi's doll (Misty) was an elf, and my sister's doll (Sophina) was a fairy/genie.  They went to this magical academy thing where they trained to be Wizards and their other skills (fairy/genie, elf and mermaid).  It was quite fun......and I wrote everything down in a notebook to remember for later.  I'm praising the Lord for that now, because I'm turning that game into a story.  :P  Who knows?  Maybe Emma and Matt will be a bestselling story someday too!!!!  xD  That'd be so hilarious. 

I have other things from my childhood that made me cry too......like Booger. 

Booger is a tiny, 2 inch long green eraser shaped like an alligator.  Chibi and I had two of them, hers a little rubber lizard and mine a little rubber alligator.  Mine was Booger, hers was Snotrocket.  :P  When we were younger, we used to carry them with us EVERYWHERE.  We have this running gag (surprise, surprise, another running gag......we have a lot of them.  :P) I'd say "Down Booger!!" in a deep (ish) voice, and then the other person pretty much obeyed your command.  :P  Sometimes, one of us will randomly say, "DOWN BOOGER!!!" and then the other person will fall over and obey.  XDD  Just force of habit now I guess.  I recently found Booger in a box under my bed.  I remembered everything we used to play and felt tears.......coming.......dripping.........so I called Chibi and told her how much I miss our games and that I feel old.  She made me feel so good!   Here's what she said: "Awww!!!!  Well, I know one thing that will make you feel better!!  No matter HOW old we get, you'll ALWAYS be one year older than me!!!!!  Making me feel young!"  xD  Gee thanks Chibi......you make me feel so wonderful.  (sarcasm, sarcasm) 

So.....*sniff*  I'm old, I feel really old, but I'll just relive all these crazy things through here.  :P 

Plus, no matter HOW OLD I get, I won't be that old, because silly and crazy things happen ALL THE TIME!!!!  Just like last week.  We were swimming in the pool, and Chibi and I decided to go to the 'deep end' (vs. the shallow end) and there was a little tiny part covered in shadow.  I said, "Come to the Dark Side!" and Chibi played along!  So we went to the Dark Side, and we were being such dorks fighting over the shadowed part.  I said to my sister, "Rule of two!!!  No More, No Less!!!  Sorry, you can't come to the Dark Side!!!"  It was so funny.  The sun was creeping closer to our Dark Side, and I looked at Chibi and calmly said, "I might have to kill you.  There is not enough room for the both of us here."  So we wrestled and tried to 'drown' each other while swimming in the dark side of the pool.  XD  Running gag from that: "Come the the Dark Side, we have Orchids!!!"

Those were the Orchids from the Dark Side.  When you say Dark Side, you got to draw out your A sound to make it sound official.  xDDD  LOL!!

So......I guess we never really grow up, since that happened last week.  Still, Neverland would come in handy!!!!

:)  Thanks so much to my new followers!!!!!!  I'm going to win this war yet!  xDD  Just kidding.  ;) 

God Bless and Lots of Love!!!!
(sorry for going on and on and on and on.......I felt the need to post about this.  I got quite a giggle out of it!  xD)

Love,
