One of the Friday Fives: The MOSTS
Feb. 21st, 2003 11:43 pmMost scary:
The thing that comes to mind is recent: I thought my husband was watching Kirk in a store, while he thought I had him. Kirk wandered away from us. The panic only lasted for a few minutes until we found him, but it was so bad I almost puked and passed out when it was all over.
Most fun:
I'd have to say the long weekend I spent down at Mardi Gras. I was in the doldrums over a breakup that had happened almost a year before. I just couldn't get back in the groove, plus I was in the middle of my 8-week comprehensive qualifying exam period. But I went to New Orleans with a bunch of male friends and my female roommate, and it was like someone lifted a veil from my eyes. I was suddenly relaxed and happy and able to have fun. For months after that, I would just go over and over the photos from that trip, reliving it.
Most sad:
Probably when my grandmother (on my mom's side) died. She was such a wonderfully supportive person, and I felt a huge hole in my life knowing that I no longer had that special kind of unconditional love from someone.
Most angry:
I've been plenty mad at various things--but for overall sustained anger, I'd have to go with the entire year I lived with my ex-boyfriend. That situation was a screwed-up mess, more than I can go into here, but the kicker was that I had to keep it all in. There was no one I could go to for support, except the source of the problem himself. At times I was so frustrated I actually flung dishes and stuff. Hoo-boy. On the plus side, having gone through that year together, he and I are really bound together in ways no one else understands. He's like a sibling.
The time you most wish you could go back to:
To live again? I'd choose my second year at geek camp. It was only ten days, but those ten days had a profound effect on how I thought about myself. I had such a good time, getting just about everything I wanted in terms of support, friendship, intellectual stimulation, laughter, etc.
