in nostalgia mode....
... i used to have a "best day of the year" record for every year but then college came and every day was such a blast that they became hard to keep track of. i kinda miss that old euphoria.

i like making lists
here are my milestones, as far back as memory lies....

age 9 - playing make-believe games my crush's house, reading and falling in love with literature
age 10 - my first love note.
age 11 - my friend's new years/birthday party, pizza/skating/sleepover
age 12 - my godsisters' visit
age 13 - exploring my best friend's backyard creek and ravine, finally succeeding in hanging her tire swing on a tree.
age 14 - um. scoring a kick@ss school average? learning to love painting, sculpting, writing more than ever before.
age 15 - summer school & new, dear friends thereof.
age 16 - overloading my school schedule? and still getting kick@ss grades somehow. those were the days. late nights on the phone.
age 17 - best day: school club meetings followed by montreal trip and canada day fireworks. also: prom planning, prom dress shopping after cn tower run, reuniting and bonding with an old lost friend.
age 18 - last day all nighter/party/sleepover fest at leadership conference
age 19 - hiking and rockclimbing all around the Gaspesie, almost getting not stranded by the tide thanks to my outdoorsy friend, finding seashells, learning to skip rocks
age 20 - new york, summer, paris ... twas all a blast, i cannot pick. possibly moving in and the first day back at school, seeing everyone again right after new york.
