For quite a while now, I've been wanting to write a lil' blog about my dinosaurs. I'm not sure if everybody realizes how far-gone the obsession has been since I was a young'un, and even now. I've been collecting these things since I was 3 years old, and still have almost all of them (except for some cheap, ugly, fake-looking plastic ones that I threw away a lonnnnng ago...almost regret it though...BUT ANYWAY).I have a dresser/glass-cabinet that's housed them all for many years, and finally got a good picture of it. I'd held off on it for so long because it was really dusty in there, and there were a bunch of burnt out Christmas lights still in it that made it look kind of shabby. But a few days ago I cleaned the entire thing out, removed the dead lights, rearranged them a tad, and...took a picture. I even counted them; not including the smaller, unimportant ones, there are 68 of them in the cabinet. But that's not all... I've got 6 more of them on the computer desk in here. So, just counting all the large ones that are worth counting, I've got about 75. I can't imagine if I counted all the tiny rubber ones as well..... But yeah, here ya go:  I remember a LONG time ago, a woman we used to know found out about my love of dinosaurs and she told my parents it was "just a fad". ............Just a FAD? Oh, yes. One that's lasted 18+ years. The first dinosaur I ever got (that I know of) is in this picture... but you can't really see him. He's on the top shelf somewhere - an old, fake-looking, cheap, blue "Brontosaurus" (Well to be technical since Brontosaurs doesn't exist, Apatosaurus. And he's NOT one of the ones on the far top right, those are Brachiosaurs.). Go three dinosaurs in from the top right and you'll see a patch of blue in between the Protoceratops and Triceratops - that's his shoulder. Anyway. I could never get rid of him! I believe we got him at Epcot Center, and while we were standing in line, I jabbed his tail into the butt of a lady that was standing in front of us. Heh.....whoops. I love dinosaurs in a more scientific way now, but I still have all my toys and don't plan on ever getting rid of them. I guarantee ya, I'll be an old-fart lady some day with a huge collection of plastic dinosaurs in the attic (some of which roar) and I'll still know more about dinosaurs than any kid down the street. Not to brag, just sayin' :D |
