personal stationery at that age, eh?

at least young chris wasn't one of the millions utterly disappointed by the promise of an AIR CAR!!!

I was one precocious (not to mention precious!) nine year old. I wish I still had some of that paper--I'm back living at the same address now.

As for the air car, I'm sure I wanted one but by that age, after receiving my thin plastic "book safe," I learned that most of the time when things seem too good to be true, they are.

Um, that is super cute! I am a sucker for little kid memorabilia, it makes me want to just die.

P.S. Your handwriting hasn't changed much has it?

Re: death

[bas_jan_ader]

Haha, I have a handful of different handwriting styles. I think I still retain traces of this one though, you're right.

by for now

[_marissa]

this is amazing... look at your incredible '88 cursive!
i can't believe your friend was stealing your money!!!!!!
and how much did you have back then?? ...so much that you needed a BIG safe, i see.

1988 was a good year. I doubt I had much money though--the bulk of my income came from the 10 cents change my parents let me keep after buying my school lunch.

you're so adoreable i could just eat you up.
hahaha

Who is that in the wallpaper of your journal? It's striking a chord in my memories from the early 80's.
