Earliest Memory of Being Creative?

[Sharon]

[glow=purple,2,300]I used to LOVE working with paint! I think I was in the 2nd grade. My earliest memory of being creative though was when I used to play with legos! I had my own kingdom thing with the little lego people, so many hours were spent playing with legos... *sigh* those were the days...

The first time I ever written a "poem" was for an assignment in the 6th grade. I still remember my first stanza...

When I was 2 or 3
I came to see a dog in front of me
I took his bone and ran with it
him chasing me I didn't see
and OUCH how he bit me![/glow]

I remember making Christmas ornaments out of noodles in the 2nd grade and I played with lego since I was a kid. They also had a thing called Jimbo, which was like giant lego and we used to build our own "jungle gyms" with that. One time my brother and I went GTing in the pool ... oh, that's not creative, that's stupid.

I wrote my first poem in 1999, I don't know why I did. I just wrote it because I wanted something as a hobby, ha. Look at me now, I can't freaking stop writing. You know what was fun as a kid? Drawing body linings in chalk on the driveway. It would look like somebody had died on our driveway in sixteen different positions.

I used to draw too but I suck at it. I used to draw characters because I got this model drawing kit as a kid. It had a tracing outline of a body and you would have to draw clothes and a face on it ... it was fun while I had it.

Oh yeah, my sister and I used to write stories on the old computer that had those giant floppy disk things ... anyways, I still have half of one called "The Haunted Telephone" ... it's really old and worn out.

I'm sure there are other strange memories like drawing on the walls

Me and my best friend used to pretend we were in tv shows, and we'd make up the events, and the characters. We pretended we were in books to...

Me and my brother, when he was like 3 or 4 and I was 6 or 7, would take all of our small toys and legos and we'd make fairs. Like we'd use the toys as different rides and all that stuff... It was fun.

The first time I ever wrote a poem was in 3rd grade. We had to write about snow. Then in 5th grade I wrote a poem called trees. I should put it on here sometime...

But the first time I wrote a poem, when I didn't have to, was the summer of 2004, when I'd just gotten out of 6th grade. The poem was about some guy... It's actually not a bad poem...

Probably when I was about 4 or 5, I wrote a love poem, lol. Maybe it was even six, but it was only about four or five lines.

In grade one, my teacher was telling me about how my drawings used to be awesome, and then they started sucking, and ever since then I always draw.

I wrote a song about oranges when i was little, it was before my dad died, so I was younger than 4... other than that I have never really been creative...

this isn't really early because it happened in 2000 but I made a song called Sombrero ... I used to sing it to my brother when we went on the cruise ... don't ask why. I also wrote a song in 2001 called Houston: Dog of the Millenium about my old dog ... it was fun.
