why is it very easy for most people to remember the "Worst" day of their lives... than remembering the "Best" day of their lives.
while you are reading this i'm sure some bad and good days have come up in your head... i'm sure you can choose a worst day.. but can you choose a best day?

i just want to see or "prove" that people are more negative than positive..

My 8th grade English exam. My English teacher, my favorite person in the world (at the time) had pulled strings so that I could just toss off the class exam in my spare time, and my real exam was to head down to her silent and deserted office, watch the movie version of Clan of the Cave Bear and do a report. (This makes more sense in the context that my sensory issues were at their worst during a class exam, not that I'd ever told anyone, but she seemed to figure it out by instinct.) And not just a typical grade school book report... there were no guidelines whatsoever, she told me quite clearly that she didn't give a crap about neatness or classical format or anything except intelligent content. I'd finished the book earlier so I talked about everything from the psychology of the characters to the problems translating a book plot into a movie.

And THEN - a two-hour writer's conference with her, after school, about the project that had been my obsession for a year.

And the hope that next year I would be off to a new school with a real art program, and a new life.

Cool!
This happened to me also, I finally got a computer in November 2005. I had been obsessed with computers, especially internet, for 10 years: since the age of 12 when my childhood friend's family got one. yayyy finally.

My best day was dreamlike and I'll always remember, more so just one beautiful moment. It was our ski trip and I had never skied before so I had to the training classes. After an hour or two they end and you had to go inside and wait unless you were a good skier already. I said, what the hell, so knowing little about skiing I went up to the top of the mountain. The guy said that if anyone did anything dangerous they would be sent straight home. I tore down the mountain (oh, that first lesson didn't actually involve stopping at fast speeds) and luckily curved it just before the cabin where a large creek was. I probably would have died. Luckily, no one saw me do it. Later that day, slightly more experienced, I taught someone how to ski. It was magical.

mt dream year was my senior year in hs. my team went to the state football championship to play (and loose by just 2 points ) to our rivals. I had a date to the prom, the military ball, and my first real boyfriend. Granted the lovely year would dissapear into dispare during the summer when that dude I was seeing morphed into a monster, and my "friends" quit calling as they found others to haing with. But I try to hold on to the golden moments as I can.

Sorry to disappoint you :D I can remember my best day very clearly, whereas I don't think I have one day that stands out as my "worst".

No doubt about it, my best day was meeting my girlfriend face to face for the first time after we'd had a long-distance relationship for nearly four months. I was so nervous coming to the end of the journey -- it was around 40 hours and I spent nearly all of thinking about what it would be like -- but when I got off the bus I saw her smiling at me and I knew we were going to be happy. Then we went to her house and I gave her a necklace I'd bought for her -- she was so pleased, it made me very happy to watch her put it on -- and then that evening we kissed for the first time. Not exactly easy to forget :wink:
