It's lego for the foreigners ;). I think I was not the typical scientist prototype. We used to stay up all night building intricate cities. I also had a very battered pink panther that I adored.
I had a barbie stage (yes, I know this may mean you never speak to me again), but it was mostly about using them to act out stories. Sometimes fairly graphic stories.
Nowadays - my computer.
I can't really say that me toys influenced me much at all. Books, on the other hand, are another story.
Ah, books, I'd have to write a very long entry to do it justice. I adored reading as a kid (and still do) but I generally ended up reading books long before I was ready for them. I skipped the introduction to Animal Farm and was quite perplexed by the story of pigs and animals attacking humans. I ran out of Roald Dahl's children's books quickly and moved onto his adult ones. Had I ever suffered from nightmares, I think that Kiss Kiss would have caused a few. I think the reading thing is genetic as I have a cousin who actually read every book in the children's library! (Perhaps, it wasn't an enormous library, but still!)
