The happiest "places" have always been instants in time when possibilities felt endless, and I knew that, even if life were to end right then, that would be ok, now that I'd experienced such a moment. The happiest place has mostly been lying in someone's arms.

I'll never forget what I learned, friends matter but family cares.

When I was about 3, I was watching Sesame Street; part of it must have been about lions. They showed the lions hunting their prey, and I was appalled.

"Mommy," I said, "lions are mean." When asked why, I responded, "because they eat other animals!"

"Well honey," said my mom, "we eat chicken, and beef which comes from cows."

"Yeah, but... they're not REAL chickens and cows... right?"

...she just laughed and laughed. And no, the awful realization didn't make me become vegetarian... but it was a rather rude awakening!

Most kids have their own version of a teddy bear or blankie. Well mine was a pillow and I believe it was my best friend. I would look away while feeding my pillow because I thought it was afraid I knew it was really alive.

A child's imagination is endless!

my brother used to believe that, whenever it was raining, that he should go out and stand in the rain, in order to grow.

As in... like plants.

seriously :P

I had a dream last night that I was reunited with my grade 4 best friend. We lost contact after i moved to another school. In my dream we hung out like old times. I'm now in college and I wish we were still best friends.

I once saw the balance slip of my parents bank account. Each time, my dad would take out $100 each week. I knew how to do division and realised that at this rate, we couldn't possibly survive! I didn't know that they would get paid and more money would be deposited.

My first kiss wasn't until the summer before my junior year of high school. don't ask me why it took so long, I still don't know

I had just moved to town, and this girl and her guy best friend asked if I wanted to hang out, we went to the mall and then when to his (parent free) house. We started watching funny movies online when the other girl went and took a shower. He stood behind me, was playing with my hair, tilted my head back and kissed me, and continued to do so until the computer let out a huge belch.

We kissed much later during Phantom of the Opera, and he tried to get me to have sex with him, but in my head, I thought I couldn't have my first kiss and lose my virginity in the same hour

My cottage is one of the most memorable and happiest place. It's where I can sit back and get some R&R.

I dreamt last night that me and my friends were at a party and we all wore the same shirt with cherries on it. Horrifying.

One time I ran a yellow light that turned red on me as I just stepped through. Unlucky for me there was a cop sitting at the light in the other direction. He turned on his lights but couldn't move because of the car in front of him. I knew I only had several seconds before the light changed again so I quickly made a right turn onto another street and pulled into a plaza and went into a nearby store. I was late for work but at least didn't get a ticket.

This is a non-memory: I never got to go to disneyworld. My parents could never afford to take me. I will make sure my kids get to go.

My grandfather died 3 years ago. After I found out I closed the room of my door and sat in my chair and began crying. I know he's in a happier place now.

I put on a stripshow for my girlfriend on webcam once. She got so turned on by it.

My first time drinking was at 18. We were sitting in an empty bedroom of a friend's house, in the dark, in a circle, passing around a bottle or two of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Sitting next to you on that precious mountain, laying side by side, inches apart, oblivious to everyone else. There was pure love there, but I didn't say a word. But I have to. I Love You.

I was brutally attacked, in a blow up slide, by friends, boyfriend watching, friends standing a few feet away, parents on a deck, yet I was attacked, practically raped, and will never be the same, I miss who I was. I miss trusting my friends.

The happiest place on earth...

at home with the family... especially on Christmas day

My dreams terrify me, epically the one where I help people kill me, but they still are dreams to me, not nightmares, which may be the scariest part...

I always almost cry or cry when I think I did something wrong, made someone mad or just feel guilty... even if it's not that big of a deal. Maybe this is due to my upbringing; not being a rebel has its heartaches too.

The bus was my way of commuting when I was younger. My mum would carry me everywhere as we could not afford a car. I never really complained about the financial situation we were in but there were times I wished we weren't in that situation (at such a young age I thought a lot). Anyways, it was another beautiful summer day for a commute as a jogger passed by, he stopped to greet me. As he greeted me, he pulled out a colorful bouncy ball for me! To this day I still have that bouncy ball to remind me that life isn't so bad.

Back in my last year of university I was head of a student group. At the end of a year, to celebrate our success, the execs and committee members (about 30 of us) had an end-of-year karaoke party, with the intention of drinking of course.

As president, and with this being the end of year party, I was "pressured" into drinking a heck of a lot, while everyone else drank off the remainder of our year's budget to the best of our abilities. Drunkenness brought out the best of our karaoke voices as we chanted and rejoiced to the likes of Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way, 'N Sync - Bye Bye Bye, and Spice Girls - Wannabe, and even Ricky Martin - Livin La Vida Loca! Lots of pictures were taken but I remember none of it thanks to the alcohol, but apparently at one point I was quadruple-fisting beers down, and in another one, we were waving our hands in the air as a group (how dorky) to some song that I was singing.

I was somehow able to get myself home, not knowing how I crossed the streets and somehow left the front door wide open eventhough I locked the door (idioticly pointless).... and worse: for some reason I went on my computer and typed in 16-17 of my team's emails and said "I looooooooooooove you" to them.

Didn't even know it until people started making fun of me the next day and I went back to check the Sent box. Not to mention still having no memory of writing it. Ahhh.... drinking... The void of memory sure is what's "memable" sometimes :)

when we were young and instant messaging was still new my friends and I would invite strangers into our chats. we would all pretend to not know each other. my friends once invited someone who was openly gay to the chat. they all began to make up stories about how their asses hurt from the night before. i didn't type anything but laughed at the comments. makes me feel bad for doing so to this day.

I found a bus ticket in the grass boulevard.

i found $5 in a pile of leaves.

I used to dream that one day I would be a great movie director... now I work in an office. The dream is still there, just on hold for the moment...

I remembered a dream I last night. It was a dream where I was with this guy whom I've been very much attracted to over the course of the year, but I haven't ever had the guts to go up and even talk to him. In the dream we were in love and we kissed.

It was the best dream ever.

I'm scared to talk to him because I'm a guy too. What if he's not gay like me?

I hate being gay sometimes.

I want to say I think I love him, except I don't even know him. I can at least say he's the cutest guy I've ever seen.

Only one period of my life had I made my dad cry. I was a newly minted teenager full of rebellion. I must have dissapointed him real bad in order to make him cry.

She sat across the room from me and we passed notes through others every class whenever the teacher's back turned. On one note, she asked me for my number and I was being paranoid so didn't write it down. She wrote back with hers and I did the same. I never ended up calling her because I was too shy.

I used to play only the free money given to you at Internet casinos. Usually I would cash out when I hit $50 profit to lock in my money. My best run was turning $10 into $450 in Blackjack.

A kid taught me the phrase "Easy Peasy Chicken-menesey" on the playgound. In class the teacher asked me to do something and I said it. I got such a scolding!

As I kid, I used to have these dreams of me floating over my own body when I had the flu. I would hover in the corner of the room as light as a feather while these boulders came crashing down on my body below. I felt the blows of each rock, but they were soft.

I used to always go on camp trips with my youth group, until I discovered my dislike towards mosquitoes. During the camp trips, one of the mornings was designatedfor a hike to the beach to watch the sunrise. I have never felt more at peace than those moments in the mornings.

I found a dime in the bathroom on TWO separate occassions. I happily picked the dime up with a tissue and washed it. =D Who ever said bathrooms aren't full of treasures?

standing in the middle of the desert and hearing absolute silence. It was eerie and made me feel more alive than anything else.

at my high school prom, i went with the girl of my dreams. it was nearing the end of the night, i went out to the lobby to take a break but came back to look for her as the last song was coming up. i found her just before it started. i still remember the song, it was 'lady in red'. the night ended perfectly.
