- the last time i saw mum in late 2010 or early 2011. she couldn't find the house so i ran up the street, in the snow, with no shoes on. she gave me some leopard print pyjamas, a quick hug, and called me beautiful. i haven't seen her since.
- sitting outside with dad at 6am on a sunday morning, drinking milk, listening to the cure, and generally watching the world go by.
- discovering toontown with emma in her conservatory on the computer. we ended up playing the game on new years eve.
- staying up late to play runescape with kanto and max on my birthday. we had a pretty lengthy snowball fight.
- playing rounders after school with tess and becky. all three of us crushing on a guy with the nickname 'speedy'. i miss tess and i's ability to accidentally crush on the same person. charlie aka. kirby for example.
- meeting kanto in fist of guthix on runescape on my 'singer787' account. i added him to my friends list and started chatting to him. i then switched to my 'kitty myne' account, which was a higher level than his at the time, and we became good friends.
- always buying a chocolate knickerbocker glory from the ice cream man, whilst david would opt for a strawberry one.
- meeting sullivan on holiday in majorca. i called him fat. i really, really, really wish i could find him again and apologise. he was so nice. he got me ice cream and sat with me. i also wish i could've said goodbye to liza. i should have called shannon sooner. i should have kept contact with jodie, too. maybe andre as well, even though he quite clearly was crushing on shannon.
- having water fights and snowball fights with david & the gang.
- playing 'monkeys' with david, sam and lucy. me and david would be the parents and sam and lucy would be the kids. i can still remember the time david kissed my hand. what a gentleman.
- pretending to be a cheerleader with lucy while the lads played football on the field.
- hedge-hopping with the crew. the time i fell through that guy's garage roof and the time jack fell in a pond.
- discovering runescape in will's bedroom with will and david when david was 10, i was 9 and will was 8. we made the account 'dwg10 9 8'. david's was rapperkid-something. i can't remember will's.
- playing 123 done ya and other games with the kids on the road. david, will, jack, danny, ellie, israel, jess, sam, other sam, lucy, joe, alex.
- daniel's super tight hugs. our almost first kiss which i turned down.
- randomly meeting jak on black ops. havana. bare bones, which neither of us play. i stalked his profile and saw that he was from sheffield. the rest is history.
- being scared of the giant inflatable spaceship in funzone when i was a kid, so when i went with friends i'd try to crawl through as fast as possible to get it over with.
- being a in choir at primary school. performing young voices at the arena with 10,000 other kids. also choir at secondary school. doing the christmas concert every year with tess, trying to stand on my tip toes to make her almost 6 ft frame.
- the way pinkie would run up all 13 stairs, turn around the corner, and jump into her cage even though i never taught her. what a smart guinea pig.
- the way mark would feel me up and hug me from behind like i was his girlfriend despite the fact that he's kinsey six gay.
- putting two skateboards on top of each other, me sitting on the front, david sitting on the back. he'd hold onto me and steer as we raced down my driveway and onto his. we'd do the same with rollerblading, sometimes putting obstacles in the way. i remember how he was really good at using a pogo stick, and i was really good at walking on his sister's stilts.
- shannon teaching me a dance in 3 days so we could do the b-factor. we got through to the semi-finals.
- the time i was watching shaun of the dead with david but i got scared, so i went into his sister's room and read a book with her instead.
- getting tingly feelings when adele would braid my hair. that was when i discovered that i'm pansexual.
- being a milk monitor in primary school. i had to go to school at 7:50 ish with georgia and callum and we'd carry hundreds of cartons across the school. we'd sort them into the classes and then dish them out.
- gavin's voice, which ended up being the soundtrack to my 2012 summer.
- playing skipping games with carly when i was younger.
- seeing david for the first time in years in mcdonalds late at night. we couldn't even look each other in the eye.
- randomly seeing thomas for the first time in years. we were driving past in the car and he was walking past the tram stop. i rolled down the window, shouted his name, and waved. he waved back.
- watching scream with el and jack. el made two kinds of chicken dippers and chips, but jack preferred one over the other. we proceeded to exchange chicken dippers by throwing them at each other across the room.
- gaining andrew's trust in a week to be a mod on his server. also a week later i became admin, courtesy of aaron. spent all christmas day texting aaron. he was the first guy to ever see my knockers.
- the time when the bottom road collapsed, so me and david took advantage and rollerbladed on the tarmac. that was the summer bethany rode all the way from oughtibridge and knocked on my door every single day, begging me to go out. i did.
- randomly meeting connor on runescape. he annoyed me so i blocked him. i saw him accidentally a couple of years later and he readded me. he gave me his facebook. i started talking to him and his brother, nile, which was the start of a really painful journey. also the funny way fate works, because jesse met connor on rs too, and then i met her in real life.
- receiving my first ever valentine's card from jack. i think it was from him.
