100 Facts in 100 Days: Fact 31
Posted on July 29, 2006 @ 10:14 pm
31. When I was five years old, I was a huge Star Wars fan (like pretty much every other kid in the world). I remember having a dream one night that I was playing with the toy Millennium Falcon that I had seen advertised on television so many times. The dream was so vivid that I woke up the next morning thinking that I actually owned the toy. I hopped right out of bed, ran downstairs to my toybox, and nearly cried when it wasn’t there. My dad saw that I was upset about something and asked me what was wrong. I told him about the dream and how sure I was that it had been real. He thought for a moment and then told me to go get dressed. My parents didn’t make a habit of buying me expensive toys outside of Christmas or my birthday, but after seeing how disappointed I was after my dream, my dad took me out that morning and bought me a Millennium Falcon. It’s still one of my fondest childhood memories.

Hey, I recalled a memory just now too: I emailed my closest childhood friend today to ask him for his new phone number so that we could catch up, but apparently he’s too busy making blog entries to respond. Funny stuff, huh?
