So I’ve found two interesting things.
The first one being my husband’s old video camera. One he’s had since he was about 10, his parents got him 2 video cameras but we must have left the other one when we moved out. So when I found this one I had him set it up to our tv to watch what was on it. And O.M.G. My husband at 10-12 years old was SUPER CUTE <3 He hardly ever recorded his face, and in all his old pictures he was always being goofy so there was no “good” pictures of him other than school photos. But anyways, he was the narrator and he was talking about how he’s going to play a prank on his sleeping mother. He set the camera down and recorded himself putting shaving cream on her face, he turns to the camera and smiles. I literally almost died from how cute he looked XD He was very dorky looking too but that’s the way I love him XD Anyways, his prank failed cause his mom was a heavy sleeper so after a minute into the video he’s like “ugh! Whatever, let’s look around the room” and it was just his randomness. Though I realized in that moment when he smiled to the camera that one day our son is going to look just like his father XD he already looks similar to his dad, but I always thought our son looked more like me until that very moment. It was a nice find c: it was the first time I saw his smile as a 10-12 year old.
The second thing I found were all my old CDs that I took from my mom. Those empty CDs that you burn stuff on to. I would take those cds back when I was like 10 or 11, and would do “voice casting” (yes embarrassing /.\ ) on them. I would record myself reading a script from my favorite anime at the time and do a fandub of it. Oh man was I dying of embarrassment when I loaded them on my computer /.\ luckily my husband wasn’t around because he sure would have teased me for it XD I found about 3 of those each with different characters. Oh man am I glad I didn’t post them on YouTube (which I was wanting to do) because honestly I SUCKED! ;o; then I found 2 other cds one with the Haruhi Suzumiya “how to dance” and then a video of me doing the dance /.\ once again GLAD my husband wasn’t around! The other had anime openings on it. That CD was the ONLY one I decided to keep /.\ I broke the others so no one would’ve able to access them
and to save myself from more embarrassment....
Though finding these things made me realize that one day my son is probably going to have his own camera (not a smart phone and actual camera to record) and he will probably steal some of my blank cds (which I took from my mom XD she doesn’t use them and it’s what I did when I was 10-11 XD
in my defense she would leave her room open and she was the one who taught me how to burn a CD ) and burn his videos on them. And honestly I want him to do it
I’m that type of mom who likes to hoard all of his creations and stuff ;o; (pretty much like my mom) And even if he finds them embarrassing I know I’m just going to love it. Seeing my husband’s videos honestly made me hope that one day my son would do that too. Because it’s honeslty the memories that count (>///< my “voice acting” are NOT memories!). And it makes me happy knowing that one day he just might do the same as his parents did, I can’t wait to see the things he “documents”. (That was another thing my husband did as a child. His own documentaries on bugs he would find or his adventures with Killer, our Australian Shepherd who just recently passed away ;~; R.I.P. Killer)
