Your favorite memory


Guest Rob

Recommended Posts

Let's bring some optimism and good times back into this forum. What's your favorite or happiest memory? It can be anything that gives you that warm feeling inside.

 

Mine would be the way home from an amusement park about 3 hours away from where I live, when I was with my now-ex girlfriend. Just her falling asleep in the car in my arms in particular. It made me feel all warm any happy inside.

Enough about me, now how about yours?

Having the privilege to play a game on the 1980 Olympic hockey rink in Lake Placid, NY. I walked into the massive arena with my Dad at 7am, no lights on in the entire building and above the doors to the entrance was a banner that read "This is where champions are made". Thinking about it still sends chills down my spine. It was such an awesome experience.

More personal [cabbage]? Damn, I'm writing essays and entries out of my ass describing personal feelings and experiences. I hate this type of English class and I shall not let TIF be infected.

I honestly can't think of a favorite memory. Although I have a pretty good memory, none of them leap out at me as the indisputable favorite. Walking up to the stage when I won 1st Place in a portfolio competition, maybe, because I was so utterly shocked. The second time I had met my soon-to-be-boyfriend, I grabbed his hand as he was leaving the car and asked him not to go, and the look on his face when we both sort of realized that there was more than simply a feeling of friendship between us. Being told by my parents that we were going to Wildwood for my birthday, a shocking surprise since I never expected something so extravagant. Thinking back to my childhood and all the times my grandparents watched me and tolerated my scattered attention and energy. My first crush on the boy who lived next to my house. Setting up the house for my mom's birthday as a surprise, and running outside to light smokebombs and sparklers when she came home...

 

They're all small things in life that I think back on when I am depressed and try to remember how blessed I've been, and how little I've done to deserve such happiness. And I thank whoever is listening every night for it.

I've got plenty of bad memories, and a few good ones.

 

Some off the top of my head:

 

Serving 16 points straight in a volleyball game to finish the match.

 

Going to a hockey game with a friend a few years back. The game was awesome and a huge fight broke out including both benches.

 

A trip to 6 flags with a group of friends is a day I'll never forget.

I can't think of a favourite, but I guess the 6 wickets I took in a cricket match last year is pretty high up there, and it was the last for the team before I left for uni (was the first time I'd ever got 5 before).

Meeting Bows

  • Spending the night with my brother and three best friends just playing video games, monopoly, driving, and sitting up in a pitch black living room just talking until the sun came up.
  • Waking up with my neighbor/secret crushicon_love.gif in a park after forgetting to go home one night.
  • Another one similar to my first memory, but with my cousins.

Meeting Bows'd be up there, then probably eating mayonnaise sandwiches (Just mayonnaise and bread, nothing else) as a kid. All the time. I also remember getting sick at my grandparents' place and they got pizza and Sprite just for me. Was awesome. Later threw up, but it was still awesome.

Too many that I can't just stick to one.

 

-There was the time when I smoked with my best friend for the first time (we smoked before, but never together) and it was a blast. We had laughing fits for minutes over who knows what. We had discussions about how 'first-person' real life was. Then we went driving around the town and I felt like the car was a bubble - like nothing else in the world was there except for us, the car, and the view out the window. It was that weird disorienting feeling you get right before you're about to dose off, but it lasted hours. Thank god our driver wasn't as much of a lightweight as us at the time.

 

-Then there was the night I asked my current (and pretty much only) girlfriend and she said yes. It was just such a feeling of comfort and excitement knowing that when I went to school in the morning the next day, I'd have a pretty girl to meet up with and claim as my territory.

 

-There was the time I passed a class that I was 99% sure I was going to fail. My teacher didn't really like me, and my grade was dangerously low at the end of the term. It was a shame too - I was doing perfect the first half of the Economics class. Well, he told me the only possible way I could pass his course, and graduate high school (Economics was required in order to graduate at my school) altogether, would be to get a 100% on the final exam and he even said it wasn't going to be an easy one. I never study, but this time I did nothing but ingrain every bit and piece of Economic-related knowledge mentioned throughout that term into my brain. In every one of my classes before the exam, I read over my study guides and mentally asked myself some random facts about each of the terms. I made sure not to just memorize it - but to make it a part of me. Then I took the test. I breezed through the majority of it, but I came across some questions that were never brought up in the book, class, or study guide. I used some simple deduction skills and picked what sounded like the best answer. I go back to school the next day... Turns out I missed one question, but I still managed to scrape a 60% which is passing. He didn't share my enthusiasm. Instead he scolded me about how I can't live life doing things at the last minute. But hey, procrastination didn't stop me from graduating. :wink:

 

-Those times when my buddy and I stayed up til 9 am drinking, watching tv, listening to music, cooking our own burgers, and philosophizing. I'm at absolute peace with myself when I'm at his pad, no matter where that happens to be at the time.

 

-Then there were all those times in Halo when the match is going to [cabbage] and we're losing by at least 10 to a team of cocky humpers, but then, as enraged as we were, my team and I make a whopping comeback - even getting in the last humps of the match. :thumbup:

 

-Those times when my dad and my brother would stay up all night watching Pink Floyd videos and talking about politics, conspiracies, aliens, you name it. This is basically what popped my logic-cherry.

 

-Trolling at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando.

 

-Eating delicious dinners with my family members during Holidays.

 

-Goofing off with my pals in high school/loathing my enemies.

 

-Going to Disney with my friends and my girlfriend. Going to Disney with my family for the first few times when I was a child. Sorry, family. You're just not as fun in public. :-#

 

-Waking up at my grandmother's as a kid and watching the old Cartoon Network while she made me eggs, toast, and strawberry milk.

 

-Having little adventures in the woods when I lived up in Pennsylvania.

 

-Staying out all night playing kickball and gradually watching every kid in the neighborhood join our game.

 

-Learning about Pokemon for the first time in Elementary school. My friend gave me a Machop card and let me play on his Blue version to start me out.

 

-Getting two interceptions and a touchdown in a football game at gym. I was actually quite athletic in Elementary and Middle School.

 

-Composing music and discussing future video game projects with my brother.

 

-Helping my friends with the paper route at 4 am, feeling nihilistic and cool at the same time. It's a strange feeling - definitely a life experience.

 

This post is making me realize how good my life was. Thank you. Needed this. <3:

Definitely meeting Bows

 

I don't really have a favourite memory. I suppose I prefer my childhood because that's before everything becomes complicated and serious. When you're younger, you play and that's it. There's no job you have to work at, there's no essay you have to finish and there's no exams to study for... Sure you barely know anything about the world, but ignorance is bliss, isn't it?

I walked into the massive arena with my Dad at 7am, no lights on in the entire building and above the doors to the entrance was a banner that read "This is where champions are made". Thinking about it still sends chills down my spine. It was such an awesome experience.

That would be pretty awesome...

The whole town is amazing, it still has an atmosphere that I've never encountered before and find difficult to put into words. Anyone who is a hockey player or fan should make a pilgrimage to Lake Placid, you will not regret or forget it for the rest of your life.

Maybe I'll take a trip. It's not as far from my house as i thought (only a 7 hour drive).

 

I didn't know you were a hockey fan, post on the hockey thread lol :P

I played hockey my entire life, even a bit of Juniors before my senior year in high school. Lots of my favorite memories come from the rink :D

Nice. I played house league for a few years in high school and that's it. I think I'm going to join a beer league this winter though.

I'm trying really hard to conjure up a memory other than the one I'm thinking of because I'm sure everybody would hate me for it.

 

GENERAL

-Summer days on my grandmothers farm

-Girls who can't help smiling after I kiss them

-Summer nights with great friends and plenty of alcohol

 

SPECIFIC

-The feeling I got when I realized getting girls to like you wasn't a game, I didn't have to do anything extra to impress anybody. After that, everyone who thought like I had looked like a complete idiot.

-The one you won't like me for: Last Sunday night I got a lift home from a girl I'm pretty much crazy for and her body is a 10/10 (confirmed by my cynical friends). I showed her my backyard which I built with my dad over the past 6 years (it's super freaking romantic) when she bent over a love-seat-swing type thing to pick up something. I just stood behind her and said "this'll work" aaaand I went to bed 40 minutes later a very happy boy. No wonder I can't think of a better memory.
