where art thou giga?
Feb 18th, 2005 by Ali
remember those giga pets? ah, those wonderful gadgets. and their spawn from hell. (tamagochi, nano babies/pets, fighter versions, pikachu…) but, once upon a time, it was all innocent. innocent “pets” on keychains from japan. *…* that’s how godzilla came about. he/she/it mutated from a t-rex giga pet, or the alien one. freaky, huh? darn those japanese. (all your electronics belong (not are) to me!)
i had a giga pet. my first one was my favourite- the compu kitty. you know, now that i look back on it, the names were very technical, like “floppy froggy,” or something. i guess that was educational. AND you got to be GOD. (no, seriously, it’s kind of like that.) you have the power to take care or not take care of something, and you control it in every way. (i suppose this is where the sadistic ali came to being, later morphing into the “sim-killer” on the sims… oh, that was a beautiful time.) i actually googled giga pets, and somehow came to an atricle about GOD and giga pets. it changed my minute. wow.
i want a giga pet now. i had around three: the kitty, the little mermaid (rocked so hard core!!!), and the puppy pound. i also had a tamagochi. and a nano. i was addicted. i loved them so much. and remember when they were contraband in the sixth grade? oh, glory. i was sure stealthy, checking my kitty in biology while it was hooked onto a binder ring in my folder. (may have been why i almost got a “c” in mr. potete’s class) if i could, right now i’d get the koala one. dude, so cool. or the kitty again, that was my favourite of all time.
those things were so awesome! and you can basically kill them with poop! *whoa*
and then, remember those japanese inventions that were keychain devices that would have your preferences for things, etc, and it would light up when someone else who had one was near you, and they had they same preferences. that always seemed cool, and i wanted one. they didn’t venture far from japan, though. i guess their culture is either really technologically advanced, or horrible at meeting people.
ok, i am going to go finally finish my pizza now. i got this pizza at 11:20 AM. now it is 12:18 PM. almost an hour… that should make me sad.
