One time in college I broke my hand/wrist. Then I went out and sprained the other one trying to play volleyball. I couldn't even pull my pants down to go to the bathroom. I'm thankful for those girls who were there to help.

Didn't you go to an all boys school?

Yesterday, I was writing on msn with a Swedish friend of mine, told him how I don't want tomorrow (today) be tomorrow and that I was actually pretty scared and everything.
This morning, I got a text message, asking me how the day went and that he hopes it's fine.

It's probably not the nicest thing someone has EVER done for me, and it's not very classical. But well, this meant much to me and it cheered me up quite a lot, so I thought I'd share anyways. I know a lot of people who would've not even thought of doing that, so I was really... touched.

She found a deal but the only problem was that this place would close before I could get there after work. She offered to take me to work and then take my car in for tires. I thought that was awesome, she was doing me such a huge favor, taking it in for me and me not having to worry about getting there during working hours. So, she calls me and say's my car is all done with new tires.....i ask her the damage so I can get some cash out of the ATM........."DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, IT'S ON ME -and another special person"
Holy cow..........I'm so grateful I can't even express it! So then she picks me up from work and she EVEN WASHED MY FILTHY CAR!!
WWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, that was a super EVENFLOW WAH for SENROCK!! You rule!!

a few christmas's ago my girlfriend at the time painted me this giant oil on canvas painting. the central figure is the back of a naked woman sitting down, white & kind of ghostly. the background is black & scrawled over in white are the entire lyrics to black.

she is a creative girl but more with photography, not really paint so it was such a surprise. it's perfect, thoughtful & hand crafted. she's also a solo mum that was working a full-time job, so god only knows when she found the time. it's the most touching gift anybody has ever given me & it'll stay on my wall for the rest of my days i expect. for all of her issues, she is an amazing girl.

1) i mentioned to a friend of mine here on the board that i was missing a Toronto 06 Dragon poster from my collection - i had been at the show and missed the sale.... and she said she had a spare one, and she just gave it to me! she GAVE me a Toronto 06 Dragon poster! along with a 'spare' Flight to Mars t-shirt autographed by Mike McCready.... she knows how much i love those two things!!

2) in university, i broke up with my boyfriend right before my birthday, so on my birthday, my roommate suprised me with a beautiful candlelight dinner and a trip out to the bar for drinks afterwards.... he was the best!

You were actually randomly nice to me one time here.
I am sure you don't remember, but someone was giving me a hard time and you pm'd me out of the blue. I don't think I even talked to you yet.
That meant alot to me Speedy and I will always remember that.
Thank you friend.

answers are fatal

1.) CHANGEinWAVES taking me to lollapalooza paying for my ticket, airfare, and hotel ...it was the best birthday present ever

2.) my parents paying for me to go to hawaii

I want to thank the one who took care of the fact I have a good life and don't have to worry about things like food or where to sleep......

Ms. Haiku

It was about 1996 or so. I had a coupon for a latte at Lighthouse Roasters in Seattle. It wasn't for the one near Fremont, but one north of the U-District.

I couldn't find it, and I had to go to a payphone for directions. The barista on the phone gave me directions. When I finally arrived, it was closed, but the barista was standing outside talking with someone. He said, "Are you the one that called?" I said I was. I told him about my coupon, and even though it was closed, he made me a latte, and he didn't charge me for it even though the name of the cafe had changed. I gave him a $2.00 tip. Just a tip on the iceberg of nice things people have done for me.

Sort of related but after a crap day yesterday I sent a dear someone a text to say about my crap day and this morning had a PM wishing me a better day today!!! Little things like that make a BIG difference!!! So thank you

This one just poped up in my head prolly cause I was just tellin this story to a friend of mine the other week.

I went to the grocery store, bought some food and used their pay phone.
I had took my wallet out of my pocket at the pay phone I guess and sat it down on the shelf thingy that holds the pay-phone.

I go home without my wallet.
I notice the wallet is missing, I call the store
and she says yes someone found your wallet.
The lady who found my wallet gave her phone number
to the cash register lady to give to whomever would be in search
of the wallet.

I call the number, she meets me at the store after i describe to her
my wallet.

She gives me my wallet and also hands me one of those lil paper back thin bible like magazine thingys.


Inside my wallet all my stuff was still there.
70 dollars in food stamps.
50 dollars or so in cash.
A large cut out picture of a vagina that I used as a seal for holding
powdered drugs, it was full of crank.
I tried giving her a 20 spot but she refused.
Shortly after this I quit snorting dope.

Thank you whoever you are, you're the sweet old lady who saved me from
a horrible addiction.

That is strangely, uniquely awesome!! Made me smile. I'm glad you're not an addict . Strange how things like that come about!

Could she have been an angel of sorts?
I don't know, perhaps.

I have many unanswered incredible events
that have changed me or have happened to or around me.

The girl I was dating at the time gave me Ten and Nevermind for christmas.

The rest, they say, is history...

Before my dad died, he was in such bad shape he pawned his beloved golf clubs. 12 years later, the guy that bought them tracked me down and gave them to me. I, in turn, gave them to my grandfather (my dad's dad) and it remains the single greatest memory I have of this lifetime just seeing his humbled and overjoyed reaction.

And yes, my kids being born was a good memory too but they grow up to hate you:) This memory will last forever.
