I had a cat for 6 years or so who ended up having Leukemia and had to be put down, I could barely make it more than a couple months before I really started missing having a cat around. I went to Petsmart when they had an adoption going on, I talked to one of the women, they opened up a cage for me to see one the cats, he came out, laid on this side and put his paws on my arm. The decision was made for me.
Lol, I used hunt bugs too. I enjoyed building habitats for them in glasses for science fairs. I had many books about insects. There was a time I wanted to become an entomologist. I'll never forget the first time I caught a firefly.

I have always loved Sleeping.
It is the only time my mind can rest and not have to worry about anything.
Me too! Finally a mental break unless I have weird or bad dreams but even then it's better than most days awake.
Animals ... candy/sweets and nature..music.
I actually haven't changed that much at all which is kinda weird and kinda nice too. Now that I think about it...I am pretty much no different except I am older an a bit wiser, hopefully, but I still like all the same things for the most part. Is that normal??

I also did that, I was always collecting bugs in jars. My mom was not pleased though because I would bring them inside the house :bigsmile:

I had a pond so I'd obsess over the amphibians too. I knew them all by names I gave them, and if I found a newt? That was like, the holy grail!
When I was kid, my family had a summer house that was the perfect place for bug hunts.
I remember the geckos that appeared in my room at night. I stayed in my bed just watching them go for any bug
that landed close to the light bulb.
I was amazed by these mini battles for survival going on my roof. Sometimes it felt like they were watching me and I stared at those little black eyes for a long time, wondering what they could be thinking. My mother always told not to kill them, so we didn't have to spend so much on insecticides!
That was cool, but not when you end up capturing a stinky bug.
Man, I remember that smell!

I usually collected ants and spiders
I'm amazed by ants they are the most interesting creature in the animal kingdom to me!

I've loved reading even before I knew how. I remember sitting down with books and trying to sound out words based on the letters. If I didn't know the sound of a letter I would bug the hell out of my older brother until he told me. I would look at comics and try to guess what the characters were saying based on how their mouths were drawn. I always read at a higher level in school and loved literature classes. The love of reading eventually evolved into a love of creative writing.
