So MFP-ers, what are some childhood hobbies that you're still privy to? Movies you still love after years and years? Tendencies you haven't stopped? Favorite toys you can't part with? Do tell!

    When I received my Nintendo it was all gaming for me since then. From Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Xbox, Wii, Kinect, and Xbox 360....

    I don't think I would ever give up that part of me :)

    I have almost every single teddy bear I have ever owned, yet only one is still kept out in the bedroom. Yes, I put her on the bed. Boyfriend hates it, so he demanded that he be able to put his own stuffed animal on the bed (he bought a Mario mushroom). We're even there. I'm still pretty impulsive like I was when I was little, I get loud when I'm excited about something and I still have a killer pout just like I did when I was about 5 years old.

    Movies... Never Ending Story. Still makes me feel all warm and fuzzy every single time I watch it.

    I still sleep with a stuffed animal (sometimes) - a pillow pet dragon.

    I own a house and have an entire "art room" so that I can make as big a mess with my projects as I want.

    My most favorite meal is the same one since I was like 8: Turkey and cheddar cheese sammich on Mrs. Baird's bread, cheetos, a coke, and 3 chips ahoy cookies. I've eaten some variation of this meal most days a week since I can remember - although without the cookies lately.

    I still watch all the Charlie Brown holiday specials when they are on TV...They are classics!

    I was at a block party last weekend and after the kids played musical chairs the DJ asked all the adults to play...it was so much fun and we were just as competitive as the kids...the only difference was the adult winner got a bottle of wine at the end!

    Heehee... I have to admit I can't part with all those beanie babies I collected when I was a kid. I'm hoping either my brother or I have a kid so I can pass them on.

    I play all day long being a mom. Love legos and playdough! Im an artist but when I sit down with construction paper and those little oval watercolors.... all I seem to be able to paint are apple trees and rainbows. My mom still has all my old cabbage patch dolls and when I go to her house, I have to go peek at them. Makes me feel little again.

    Also, I used to think if I had any body parts sticking out of the covers that a monster would come eat it. So, I still have to be neatly tucked all under my sheets. Even in the summer when its hot! haha

    Ha Neopet memories... that was a big phase. I guess the big things that have continued to be a joy from childhood for me are climbing trees, going barefoot at inappropriate times, finger painting :P, doing cartwheels and playing the now very dated Cro-Mag Rally. I don't intend to ever give up being in touch with my kid self.

    I still have Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader action figures locked in a fireproof box. I still play video games, I still laugh when someone says "I'm just doing my duty," I still think farts are funny, and I still make prank calls...

    I just started hula hooping again a few weeks back and forgot how much I loved it :)

    I also still have ALL my stuffed toys from when I was a kid and my favourite toys sleeps next to my pillow.

    I'm a massive fan of 80's films too and just got a Goonies tattoo on my wrist to prove it ha ha

    Scooby Doo is my all time favourite cartoon (not the new fangled drawn in a different way Scooby Doo - the Scooby Doo Mysteries) Oh and Teenage Mutant Ninja (not hero) Turtles :D

    Wow I could really keep going with this there is so much I still hang onto from my childhood
