    1. Moving four hours away from home to go to uni, although it meant leaving all my family, almost all of my friends and a damn well paid job, where I could've been assisting manager at an age of 20 and probably manager next year.

    2. Not listening to my parents and my sister when they didn't want me to go to Berlin and Copenhagen to see PJ or Roskilde with just one friend who was also a girl when I was 18 (cuz girls get raped on trips outside Norway, and especially at Roskilde :rolleyes: ).
    It wasn't really life changing, but I had some REALLY good times and met loads of people I learned a lot from because of this.

    this thread reminds of the episode of "lost" towards the end of the third season when charlie makes his "greatest hits" list. one of the greatest episodes ever.

    as far as my favorite 3 decisions, i will have to think about it and post again later.

    1) Finding love

    2) I no longer have 50 pounds of pot buried out back in the woods under a log or in a water proof military ammunition box submerged underwater. This was my life for many years. (can you even grasp the bullshit that goes along with this kind of life?)

    3) Going to school.

    The list goes on into the sunset............
    Now would the OP start a thread on the Worst 3 decisions one has ever made?

    1.) Divorcing husband #1

    2.) Adopting a dog and subsequently deciding never to have children

    3.) Telling the truth. Sometimes, people don't like it. But, I'm more comfortable living truthfully.

    1.) breaking an engagement to a guy who was (and probably still is) a great person. I know I'm much better off, and I believe and hope that he is, too.

    2.) meeting a certain internet buddy about 5 years ago...who is now my husband (and still my best friend in the world! :D)

    3.) becoming a mom to the coolest Guns N' Roses-loving baby ever. :D (Also, related to this...not getting a morning after pill...lol.)

    i completely agree... and for that i'll add this as number 4 to my list:
    listening to rock at an early age when my friends were listening to either pop or rap.

    i'll always remember listening to PJ, Aerosmith, Sabbath, and the beatles as a young child.

    1) Taking a chance....even though the situation didn't seem "logical"...I trusted my gut...and ended up with someone who is my perfect match and the love of my life
    2) Marrying my ex-husband...I still think it was one of the best decisions I've made, even if we're not meant to be together as a couple...I couldn't have chosen a better person to enter adulthood with and lay down the foundations for my life
    3) Changing majors and pursuing a career that I'm passionate about
    There's a light when my baby's in my arms :)

    I think we also need a list for the three worst decisions!

    let's see,
    I'd say thus far,
    Not getting married in my 20's

    going to grad school for my master's degree

    being a Yankees fan? :) Does that count?
