Well, if you MUST know... ::)

I'd say the greatest times of my life have been during the annual "Stupid Days" that my friends and I have every year (of course) to do stupid things :) But we'll see how life goes.

Naturally I'd like to be rich and famous, and I often wonder what would have happened if I did things differently, but now that I think about it, everything that happened to me has shaped who I am...so I wouldn't change a darned thing :)

A girl I knew once mentioned that her favorite love song was "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. Later, we started dating and I took her to prom. Since neither of us were much of dancers, we sat and talked with friends mostly. There was a piano in the lobby of the building, so we went out there, and I started playing. Most none of my classmates knew I could play (even the girl herself had only heard me play once or twice). I started to attract a real crowd. But the single moment that I'm describing here is when I, unannounced, started playing "In Your Eyes," and the girl just looked stunned when she recognized it and she had this look in her face when she was listening that I will never ever forget.

For three minutes, I was a god among men.

It was during my second year in college, the magazine was called "Lite" and was a Baltimore based literary magazine (I don't think it's published anymore). I've had other poetry published, but nothing beats that first time! The poem is called Winter's Kiss.

I have two "greatest things".

The first happened in the early '90's. I wrote a "fan letter" to a member of a local band that had just been given a recording contract and were on the way to stardom. I put my phone number in the letter, and a few days later, I got the suprise of my life when the fella called me. We chatted for almost an hour, and a few days later I got to meet the whole band in person.

If this band hadn't broken up soon after, there would have been some music worth listening to in the '90's.

The second thing was the birth of my daughter.

The best thing that ever happened was discovering that Dan loved me.
The second best thing was getting out of a religion that was stifling and judging me and finding my personal spiritual path.
The third best was getting a round of applause for my singing from Brian May and Roger Taylor! (No lie!)

Well, I'm still only young but its gotta be getting my article published on the BBC's website. That was such an acheievement for me and I know a lot of you guys from this board helped me to write it, and also enjoyed reading it :)

I guess the second thing would be meeting my current boyfriend. I've never been in a good relationship before - this is my first 'proper' one. Who knows, it could even resort in the 'L' word! :-/ . I've never been in love before, always been really scared of that word, but I'm so happy for once :)

I almost can not get myself to type this.

My greatest "thing" to happen to me was meeting this woman 5 years ago who has slowly become my best friend. We used to do everything together and we always made each other laugh. Unfortunatly, one week ago I told her I loved her and now she will not return my phone calls. :'( :'( :'(

Give it a few weeks John and "run" into her in a public setting, keep the conversation light, bring up only "safe" subjects. Let her relise she misses your friendship and ask if you can give her a call sometime. Never bring up the "L" word again unless she presents it first.

Thank you RC! My Hubbin keeps his chin up. He isn't in a wheelchair yet, but he does have to wear full leg braces. We were in Wal-Mart the other day and a man came up and asked us "Are his legs real?" I was ready to be offended but My Hubbin just said " Would you like me to pull one off?" The guy took off really fast...lol. This could pull a person down but he just keeps on going (like the energizer bunny haha)...anyway thanks again! :)

The best weapon is humor :) And the best cure too...I hope he stays humorous for a long long time :)

If he does have to get that wheelchair, I hope you paint racing flames on it and give him a nitro booster...I don't know how y'all are about racing, but it cheers many a man up :)
