What is your fondest memory?

Post » Fri May 31, 2013 10:56 am

Or memories.

Mine are mostly from my childhood (they would be, I'm pretty young as it is). One would be when I was around 7 or 8, when my mom would take me over to my friends house before school (I'd be dropped off at school from there, since she worked early), and we played Pokemon Snap in his room until we left. It was so fun. Others from childhood would be walking around my backyard looking for bugs in the summertime, playing crazy imaginary narratives out with my little brother, playing hide-n-seek with my cousins, cuddling with my dog (RIP), going to the local ice cream shops with my mom and brother, and then in high school staying up super late to chat with the first girl I dated--and seriously struggling to see my keyboard, then eventually talking on the phone with her all night, then freshman year of college hanging out with my dorm hall buddies at 2am...

I'm very thankful for the fact that I had a generally great childhood that I remember very fondly, even despite seeing my dad move in and out of the house over the years, viciously arguing with my mom the whole way until they finally divorced. I just took it with stride, the way only a kid can. I still can go back to my childhood memories when I feel the present is going a little awry, and cut myself a warm slice of nostalgia.

I'm just in one of those pensive, nighttime moods right now, as you can probably tell.

Yours?

Flying over the Grand Canyon---it was probably the last family vacation I had before my mother passed away and my sister got married and moved to Virginia.

Sorry about your mother.

Thanks---but yeah I recommend to anyone who visits the Grand Canyon to take the air ride tour over the Grand Canyon---it's breathtaking.

I think it involves a geisha girl, opium den and the Mormon tabernacle choir. It's a bit hazy..

Funnily enough I think a lot of them have to do with games. (Morrowind, Diablo I & II, Ocarina of Time)

It's all gorgeous though

Going to Niagara Falls with my wife. Such a beautiful sight, and so peaceful, even with hundreds of other people around I felt like I was the only person there. That, and getting married.

My 13 year old brother putting me on a bucket when I was two years old to help me make a basket, then when I failed he put me on his shoulders and stood on a ladder so I could dunk it.

First memory I had :tops:
Of course I hate basketball

The first time I dunked playing basketball. The rim was not quite 10 ft. It was at least 9 and 1/2 but I had tried to dunk on it when I was practicing and it didn't happen. Then a few guy showed up and I got a fast break and I jumped so high that if the rim was 10 feet I would have dunked on it. The adrenaline that was running through me brought me up so high that I threw it down. It was the first time I dunked and probably the last. I've never been more congratulated in my life. Even graduating college. :P I'm only 5'11''-6'-0'' tall and I'm white so it was pretty impressive. Now I'm too fat to even touch the rim, even though my shot is still pretty good.
