Mine was October 3, 2002, walking home from St. Marks with my best friend Tina in New York City. Normally we would have taken the subway home but I randomly suggested we walk even though it had just started sprinkling. After 3 blocks, the sprinkles turned into a torrential downpour. While everyone else ducked inside buildings or ran for cover, we said, "Fuck it." If we were gonna get soaked, then goddamnit, we were gonna get SOAKED. We jumped in huge rain puddles the rest of the way home and splashed as many people as we could. Everytime I hear Saves the Day's "Jesse and My Whetstone" (Please come dive in puddles with me), I get a little vahklempt. We had so much fun that when we got to our dorm, we turned right back around and went puddle-diving for another hour.

It's funny how something so simple can mean so much.

when i was in 8th grade we took this class trip to disney world and universal and all that crap. for 3 straight days it was just me and my best friends having so much fun we could hardly take it. i don't even talk to those people anymore, which is kinda sad, but kinda not. anyhow, those were good times.

It really does make my heart cry. I console my heart with the knowledge that I will be able to do it all again in a few years when I graduate and move back to the city with Tina. Chocolate helps too. :D

It was about two weeks ago. A couple friends and myself went on a road trip to Ocean City. We got really drunk one night and had a great conversation about life, politics, and other stuff. It was pretty cool.

Two weeks ago...it was one of my best friend's bdays party. We ran through this deserted school to the park. Eleven friends that I love climbed into a single tree. Haha what a bonding experience with everyones asses in everyones faces. We christened it our Kickass the Friendship Tree. Lame, huh?

And the other time of my life was when I went to San Francisco with two of my friends for the Brandnew/Senses Fail show. We didn't start home until it was 12:30 am and by then the last train had stopped running. So we had to take an array of cabs, buses home. It was pretty eye-opening going through San Francisco/Oakland with all these crackheads and homeless people, some of whom were talking to us and hitting on us. We didn't get home until 3:30 am. My dad took us to Denny's to eat. That was comforting. Geez thank goodness for life in the 'burbs.

I'd have to say....May 16-17, 2003.

Chorus(yes, i was in chorus. i also failed it. and still made honor roll. bitches.) Trip to Cedar Point.

each of the 4 of us in our room, me, Craig, Marc and Alex, snuck a bottle of vodka and orange juice in our bags, because we took a bus there.

We left at like, 8 am, went to some stupid shit around Cleveland, a couple malls, and a Grease theatre show(i've never fallen asleep quicker in my life.)

We got to the hotel at about 7 p.m., everyone had their shit into their rooms by like 7:30.

The 4 of us, Craig's g/f Jamie and 5 other girls, who will remain nameless for innocence, and because i forgot a couple of their names..:rolleyes: , went to the swimming pool for an hour. At 8:30, we came back to our room and busted the shit out - Screwdrivers for all.

I think the girls had 1 each, and the guys had about 3 each between then and the time the girls left at 12ish.

The 4 of us decided that we should finish up the vodka so it didn't spill out the next day into our bags. So, we all finished it, watched tv for awhile, and fell asleep, EACH ONE OF US IN THEIR OWN BED. I had a hotel bed, Craig got the other bed, Marc and Alex both brought air mattresses.

The next day, we woke up at 8, with major headaches, and spent the day from 9-6 at Cedar Point. It was a great park, even with a hangover.

The best days of my life are sometime in July each summer. My family goes up to my cottage for a week or more sometimes. We've gone there every year for the last 15 years. All my favourite people are there, my cousins, my aunts and uncles, and me and my brother usually bring friends up with us to the cottage. When im there it just feels like that is my home, and that I have not a single worry in the world. It feels like just everything seem's so right, seeing I get to spend the week or more with the girl I love and the people who I like the best in the entire world. If it was up to me, id stay there all year and never come home. Everyone who means the most to me in my life are at the place I love the most. What more could I ask for. My cottage is amazing, always something going on and never boring. And even on the days when we don't have something to do, we just sit around and talk and laugh and everything. I can't even begin to describe how much I love being there. We all sleep in one big room and stay up until like 5 AM each night, just lying in our bed's talking. Get up at like 12 the next day, have breakfast with everything. Then while all the parents spend the day in the big lodge all the kids hang out in 3 different cottages side by side we have there. Amazing place, Amazing people. Being there and thinking about how much I love it there is what influences most of the lyrics in my life. I just wish I lived there and that, that week or so would never end. It's my life.

About 3 years ago, me and 2 of my friends did this volunteer work at Blossom Music Center handing out programs to people coming in. It was this day of music and the headliners were a band called Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. We handed out fliers all day to all the people wearing zoot suits and whatnot. It was pretty fun, plus we got free food and drinks whenever we wanted, plus free arcade games. Then at the end we got to see BBVD play and it was an amazing performance, with lots of people getting up and swing dancing. After they played we got to meet the band, it was fun.

I've had alot of great moments in my life, but I'd have to say this was the most intense and meaningful....

I went to Elementary and Junior High School with Joe, who was my very best friend at the time...We used to go out and be silly and sleepover, but never, ever did anything happen between us...Anyway..His family moved all the way to Colorado in 8th grade, and I heard from him maybe three or four times and after that, it kinda faded..Phone bills were gonna be too high, and we would write, but that faded, too. When I turned 17, I moved out, and was on my own ever since...Until now, I moved back home to Queens...It was almost 9 years since we spoke, and I got an unfamiliar email one day...It was Joe...He said he was looking for me for 3 years...and he found me through an online email search...We talked for hours, days...weeks..He had moved back to NY, but way upstate...An 8 hour trip...I got on the Amtrack and went to see him..I had all this pent up excitement and nervousness...He was standing in a blizzard waiting for me to get off the train...I just dropped all my bags and ran to him...We kissed for what seemed like forever, and stared into each other like we didnt even need to speak..I stayed with him for a week, and that was the only other man ever I have made love to besides my ex-husband...It was beautiful...He had to move back to Colorado, but Ill always have that..I'll never stop loving him...

It's really hard to pick just a single time. My trip to mexico for a soccer tournament was lots of fun, and all the hockey trips I go on are fun, and so are parties and last night I went out camping with my friends and got wasted which was great... and one time while playing Bocce Ball I sprinted full speed into a pole by accident and got a concussion.. it wasn't great at the time but looking back on it.... it was pretty funny.

probably the best and worst day of my life;

there was this girl i was gonna ask out back in like early may, but right before i did she started going out with some kid who's an acquaintence of mine, i guess you could call him a friend, either way she started going out with him.
about a month later, the girl sorta became aware that i was gonna ask her out and one thing lead to another, and we became very... (i feel kinda scummy about this) close, but she was still going out with my friend.

our relationship kinda hit peak on brooklyn day (june 5th), our school was off, but the other guy goes to private school, so he was in school. so me and the girl went to the village, we kept talking about our relationship and stuff the whole day, and she was saying how her head hurt cuz she didn't know what to do. (sounds like some pathetic teen movie from hell) and, things went very well, i bought a gbh cd, we had lunch, and eventually when we got back to brooklyn, we went to her house, we were sitting on her bed and she told me her head stopped hurting, and kissed me (our first) she told me she would dump the other guy over the weekend, asked me if i was ok with her seeing him one last time to do so, i said "of course, i trust you" and well, long story short, they're still together.

i don't think there's ever really been a 'best time of my life'. but i can say that i'm the happiest when i'm at shows surrounded by hundreds of kids i don't know and just opening my eyes and seeing the kids responsible for cds i've listened to over and over for the past year standing right above me. the speakers make me feel hollow. the music just....goes through me. i've never felt anything like it except when i'm at shows of bands i love. it's...insane and amazing. there's nothing better.
