The Glorious Return of Discuss Amongst Yourselves

Pretend you have the ability to go back in time and film ten moments of your life. These can be moments of great consequence (a proposal, a birth, a Nobel Prize nomination,) or moments of no consequence (that time you were hit in the crotch with a football). Name one of these ten moments.

My grade eight graduation: I was skinny, had a nice dress, danced with my father and was valedictorian. The only wrinkle was the banana clip (and the lack of a tasseled cap to toss). But thank God I did it up right at 13 cause I haven't had a proper one since.

The feeling of sheer joy when I walked down the hill to Mrs. J at a wedding she was a bridesmaid at. Did I mention I had just survived a car accident?

Without a doubt, I would have to say the birth of my son. I could barely see straight because I burst into tears from pure joy, and exhaustion. I don't even think I saw him clearly for the first ten minutes of his life. Holding him for the first time was the proudest, and most humbling moment of my life.

Oh no wait, even better.
Scoring the lead role of Santa Claus in the fifth grade Christmas pageant.
Yeah, I'm gonna go with that one.

(I have a tendency to rely on humour to obscure the fact that I'm actually a big softy. Don't judge me)

Jeremy - Now you have paved the way for everyone to make fun of you in a public forum.

Welcome to my world.

Oddly when I saw SWMBO for the first time. She doesn't remember it, but I do.

Junior year of high school - special election for class something-or-other. (Isn't it funny that I can't remember what we were running for?) The 'class beauty' and I were running against each other. The winner was announced over the loud speaker during first block. I won.

It was the first time in my life that I realized someone with an awesome personality and other talents could win at the popularity game when up against someone who had all the physical blessings.

In retrospect, it seems kind of trivial, but it meant the world to me back then.

Have I mentioned when I won the public speaking competition in grade 10?

Okay, that one, but also when I got to armour (basically, equipment maintenance and repair) at a major university fencing event. There weren't many women who did that, and my coach put me there when he found out I had a knack for repairing body wires and ground cords.

I think completing my comps would be the moment that I would choose - I want to see if I looked as terrible and stressed out as everyone said I did.

Either that, or dancing on the risers at Au Bar.
