OK, I want to know what was your happiest, proudest, best moment of your life.
Include the following please -
Where were you?
What was the event?
What made it so special?
Does it still affect your life today?
Or any other relevant information.
Just tell it like a story, I want all the juicy details....

Okay, here goes. I bought a computer game, an extremely large bag of cheetos, and a 12 pack of MGD. I found out that the computer game wasn't really a game but an expansion to the coveted game called "Baldur's Gate II". I found the game and then drove home anticipating some munching, drinking, and gaming.

I sat down with my Phillies slippers on my feet, my left hand in a cheetos bag and my right hand clicking madly on my mouse. Oh sweet bliss. The orange mustache was evident on my face and orange finger prints littered my keyboard. I heard a voice call to me from out there. "Mike, what (in God's name) are you doing?" "Mmmmrph?" I replied. I had packed entirely too many cheetos in my mouth and was doing my walrus imitation. The Throne of Bhaal manual was in my lap and was also covered in cheesy fingerprints. My world was alive with the characters I had come to know and love again. "We will leave no crevice untouched", the funny ranger dude yelled. I chuckled and shoveled more cheesy wonders into my mouth and washed it down with some beer. Mmmmm beer

2 hours later, my poor little kitty had an orange head because she wanted to help me play and my bag of cheesy goodness was empty. I decided to stop playing because I couldn't figure out who Melf was and why he had meteors that only lasted for a minute.

Hope you enjoyed my favorite time.

Can't say for my whole life, but this is up there


Last Friday:

My brother's wedding. (this in itself is a beautiful thing)
I was the best man. (quite an honor)
I didn't mess up my best man duties.. lol

My date was this girl I had known and completely fallen in love with in High School. I never had the nerve or timing to ask her out, so subsequently we just remained good friends over the years. During the summer, over something stupid, she stopped talking to me. My original date had canceled on me, and so I called this girl at 1:30 in the morning on Friday morning, and after a really akward conversation, convinced her to come with me. (the mark of a great person, bailing out a friend even during a fight, I think) So all goes well, and we actually have a really good time at the wedding and all past transgressions were forgotten. And at the end of the night, I remember her hugging me, then turning away, and then turning back and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

Sounds kind of silly, because it wasn't some big passionate thing, but the fact that she turned back around gives me a bit of hope and a smile on my face.


hahaha im such a sap.
So is life.

Well, Mr. Sedai, claiming that I had the best time of my life while reading your post here would most certainly be a major stretch, but I can honestly say that you provided for one of my best moments here on IW in weeks ...

Thank you very much !

And Epona, "seeing" you, is always a supreme pleasure as well.

I was 15 but in Europe you can drink at 16. And given that I did look slightly older I had no problems whatsoever. I can't believe how incredibly strict America is on alcohol. And yes, I did have a rather successful holiday with regards to females. Take my word for it
