LEGOs (They're like dolls to me)

[laurcat]

I LOVE and grew up with LEGOs! Me, my brother, and his friend would put together train tracks and build Hogwarts together! We made characters (mostly I did, actually) and I still love them and keep them intact today. Seriously, I go insane if someone takes apart my characters.

Out of all the toys I've had, the world of my LEGOs is more elaborate and filled with imagination than with anything else. (I've only had AG dolls for a couple years, and my brother has owned these LEGOs since maybe before I was born. He's three years older than me, so it's possible.) It also helped that I actually had my brother and his friend in on it, because that helped expand my imagination and the entire LEGO world.

Smear the name of LEGOs and you shall receive no ice cream after dinner! That's right, these things were my childhood, and I mean business!

My LEGO world is so elaborate because:

-Almost everybody is a wizard, the kids being Hogwarts students (The Muggles have never really been played with much and have smaller chances of becoming permanent characters).

-I created a LOT of permanent characters and made up whole families, then sometimes gave them background stories if they were more important characters.

-I created the LEGO world's strongest wizards, which were probably my first couple of LEGO characters.

Weird/Unusual things about my LEGO world:

-Those two wizards I just talked about? Yeah, they went to Hogwarts for 23 and 22 years. (They're a year apart.) Another guy did tie with the younger one at 22 years. XD That's part of their wisdom, Hogwarts was different every year, so they learned a bunch of different stuff.

-Since I probably just made you confused with my '23 and 22 years' thing, I shall note this next. In my LEGO world, time sort of sped up. XD Now it's at a normal rate, but for the first 8 or 9 years, things progressed quickly. I did the math, and I would have started my LEGO world in 1986. XD That was when my first LEGO character was only eleven, and he rescued and brought home his adopted little sister, who was just ten. THEY GROW UP SO FAST!

-Most of my characters don't have last names. I feel sad that I never gave a last name to the two wizards, but I think I know what it should be. I named the boy after my brother's friend, so I suppose I could give him that last name? I got three new characters for Christmas, and I gave them the last name 'Swede'. (Kaymarie, Brydon, and Kailann Swede. ) I did create a Gryffindor character and named him Laughy Laughner or something like that, because his LEGO had a huge open mouth. XD He was supposed to be the annoying guy who laughed a lot.

-The other guy that went to Hogwarts for 22 years? His name was 'Mail Guy'. I kid you not, he use to bring the mail or something. His LEGO was actually an old man, but I made him a kid...

-I 'deleted' these happenings from the LEGO world, but at some point I made one character part Betazoid and then she had three kids? She was still in Hogwarts, too, now that I realize. XD If you don't know what a Betazoid is, ask Arianna. XD

Sorry, I LOVE talking about my LEGO world because I get to brag about my overactive imagination and it was my whole childhood. YAYYYYYYYYYYY.

More to come later....

Everyone that's not me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that two of my characters actually died. The first was a, um, five-year-old Muggle (Yeah, yeah, she was young), but she came back as a ghost. I reallllllly don't care for her character or family, though.

The other was a young witch. Her name was Megan Gryffindor and she was a sarcastic young sandy blonde, but also a wizarding prodigy. She started Hogwarts a year early and skipped the first year education. This made her a ten-year-old second year. In spite of her last name and heritage, she was sorted into Ravenclaw. She dated Dave, some dumb guy who always wore a blue suit and a motorcycle helmet. She died battling on her broomstick- a group of dark wizards had begun to attack Hogwarts. They killed her, but the two best wizards in the LEGO world killed them off later. She died proving her bravery (She was a Gryffindor, after all) and protecting her school.

I also realize she's the only LEGO character I ever made born in the same year as me, yet I killed her off. : P Only me.

This is a family without a last name. I think I should make it 'James' or something.

I was imaginative from age 5 to the present.

My first LEGO character: Ryan _____

(I think I'll make his last name the last name of the my brother's friend, so I can't put it. [That would mean putting my brother's friend's first and last name.)

His younger adopted sister: Kelsey _____

In 1986, when Ryan was just eleven, he found a ten-year-old girl hanging from a pole next to some train tracks. She had been put there by tricksters. She was afraid a train would come and hit her, and Ryan used magic to get her down. He found out she was an orphan and took her home with him. His parents adopted her as their own.

In Ryan's first year, there were probably only two other students at Hogwarts. My brother had built the school, and it was large and the walls were rather tall. Ryan's first year adventures consisted of finding a giant room in the school full of nothing but jewels and gold. It was his first adventure of many. <3

CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA.

Oh my goodness, the real Ryan was in the paper today in the sports section! There was a picture of him swimming.

Cool

*Kelsey is in green because she's adopted- This also means her kids are not biologically related.
*You can tell the Wethers sisters are many years apart, as Ryan is 21 years older than Allyson.

Several LEGO characters will be killed off in 2014 and 2015.

[laurcat]

Dave Forton* and Megan Gryffindor**.

That awkward moment when you meet with your ex-girlfriend, then remember she's dead.

*His name is an anagram for 'Not Favored'...Make of that what you will.
**Yes, yes, I'm a jerk. I killed her character off when she was ten.
