For me, I’m nearly 40 and I really love Avatar the last Airbender, reading YA novels, and sometimes I make pasta with fun shapes, just because I can.

What do you enjoy?

    Every so often I still indulge in the “don’t step on the cracks” game while walking along the street :-)

      I literally did this just yesterday walking to the car from work. Then I had to figure out what actually constitutes as a “crack” and what is just a "purposeful indent’ in the sidewalk. I decided that the indents that separate the squares in the sidewalk do not actually count as cracks and its ok to step on those.

      It’s a habit at this point. Mentally I know it won’t break my mama’s back, but emotionally… emotionally, I -have- to step over it 😅

    I love avatar the last airbender too. I haven’t found a show like it since. Besides that, I still like anime (though less nowadays because of some sexist parts)

    Got into Lego again a few years ago. It definitely has changed a lot since I was a kid in the previous millennium.

      I also got back into Lego. I’m early 20s, so the sets of my childhood weren’t that different from what’s being made now.

      But it is cool to finally have the Death Star and Millennium Falcon like middle school me fantasized about.

      Yes! I get many looks. Here’s a late-thirties man with a bald head, gleefully grinning like a maniac while careening wildly down the parking lot aisle on a squeaky four-wheeled vehicle meant for vittles.

      I vaguely recall an article linked on the SITE THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED that something like 40% of adults sleep with a stuffed animal or comfort object

      I should probably get one seeing how I often end up just hugging the blanket when I sleep.

    • Magic School Bus. To this day there are a dozen episodes that cross my mind all the time.
    • What my father calls “crap pasta” — animal or cartoon shaped noodles in a sauce that’s 40% salt.

    I thought there would be more, but nothing else is coming to mind.

    😅 Coloring books. Dino nuggies. Chocolate milk. Cartoons. Plushies. Fairy tales.

    Also, ATLA is amazing no matter what age you are 🤩

      I was really bummed out when I developed lactose intolerance, but I was shocked by how good the Silk Dark Chocolate soy one was.

      Also found some brands sell it lactose free here, but unfortunately they’re harder to come across in stores.

    Love this topic! I’m with you on the YA novels, sometimes I just like an easier read, and does loving Harry Potter count?

    Stuffed animals and fun shaped foods/objects. I want the Super Mario macaroni to go with my Dino nuggets so my stuffies and I can have a nice dinner.

    Jumping in puddles. I almost never get the chance anymore, but if I have boots on and there’s a puddle YOU BEST BE PREPARED

    YA Novels can be good – such an easy, engaging story. I really enjoyed the “I am Number Four” and “Jumper” series-es.
