Hi all,
I was in year 4 (about 8 years old for anyone not familier with the UK school system
) when I saw my first tamagotchi. It was a strange, futuristic phenomenon. It was the coolest thing any one of us had ever seen. Before the end of the year everyone in the school must have had one.
I accidentally dropped mine in a cup of water. That was pretty much the end of tamagotchi for me for a while.
Fast forward some 18 years and I find myself buying a tamagotchi friends on-line. I'm not sure why but i'm pretty glad I did.
I did a bunch of research, and it seems those simple little machines have come a long way. It's a shame the western market has been left out of it for the most part.
So about two months after a sudden desire to have a tamagotchi again, I have taught myself to crochet so I could make a little cover for my tama (a work in progress), waiting on the delivery o f my second, and am designing a crochet tama bean bag bed to go on my bedside table.
Did I mention I don't do things by halves? ^_^
But I think the main reason I've found myself falling love with a toy from my childhood is, it sort of makes me feel like a child again. When I'm playing with my tama I can forget for a bit that I'm an adult with bills to pay, a crummy job, and a driving theory test on Sunday.
I think we all miss being kids every now and again. Although learning to drive is pretty cool
