Oh, the nostalgia.

++ For some reason I just felt a little nostalgic and decided to watch a random selection of Are You Afraid Of The Dark? episodes, and by doing so I was reminded that a.) my crush on Gary was, and still is, incredibly valid, and b.) I still very much long to be part of the Midnight Society. There is just something so appealing about being part of a group of friends hanging out around a campfire telling stories. We sort of have this now in a sense of the resurgence of Dungeons & Dragons, but there was something so mysterious and cool about being out late at night in a forest/wooded area, sitting around a campfire and telling scary stories. Whether it was trying to spook your friends or just telling a creepy but engaging story, I remember really wanting to be a part of something like that. Not that I had that many friends to make it happen, or even a wooded area that we could do that safely, but still, just the whole aspect of doing that would've been fun.

++ There's been some talk that The Mighty Ducks may be turned into a series on Disney+, with Emilio Estevez reprising his role as Gordon Bombay. If this is actually happening, I'm gonna lose my shit with excitement. I absolutely loved these movies growing up (D2 being my favorite), and Emilio was definitely one of my childhood crushes right alongside Harrison Ford.

I used to watch Goosebumps.

I did, as well. I watched and read Goosebumps when I was in elementary school, and watched AYAOTD reruns when I was in my pre-teen/teen years.

And I read it, too. I played the video game where you take on the role of the boy who wants to be a superhero, but couldn't get past the plant monster even though it seemed intuitive to use the rake on it.

I might have seen AYATOD here and there while channel surfing.
