So I've been feeling a little bawww lately. So I thought this might be a nice feel good thread for those of us in the northern hemisphere that are coming out of the winter blahs stage.

So the basic idea is that you simply post a picture (or more than one, within reason), that was taken on/of your favorite/perfect memory. If you don't have one for the exact day you can use a similar photo and/or just pick one that you do have a photo for.

do you guys remember my blog post about how perfect the weather was, and the memories it brought back? This photo here was of one of those perfect times, standing on an empty train station, soaking up the sun while waiting for a train to take me to Sydney to meet up with cool people.

Kris and Jens just posted two photos that equally apply to me, but I also have:

This is the building I live in (behind that enormous tree on the right-hand side which I don't think is there any more). On Saturday I was walking back across the gardens from a really great day of making calls to alumnae and just bursting with pride that I am part of this college. I'm so happy here.

not happiest ever but

This was spring senior year in HS, when nobody had any other desire / obligation to do anything except spend as much time together as possible.

The red on our faces and hands is ~~the blood of the innocent~~ juiciness from blackberries we had just spent the majority of the day picking.

in love for the first time

at my friend's wedding

a cd release show a few years ago-the boy in the first picture had recorded it and my friend is the drummer. the band's good guy friends simultaneously all looked at each other, tore of their shirts and stormed the stage. it was the last time probably that everything in my life seemed to be going right.

my poppy, my favorite person ever

Well, incidentally, the picture that would do it for me is my avatar. Rather, the picture whwere my avatar is taken from:

The reason for being happy is actually the girl who took the picture, whom I maybe posted about in the blog thread last year? Maybe the relationship advice thread to. Needless to say, there was no relationship and I never got much closer than this, except for one night in Heidelberg, when we were cuddling on a couch at a bar, but then I made out with her ex boyfriend later that night, panicked and ran away, which compelled a friend of mine to tell her everything about me being secretly in love with her, and that was that (of course that is me over-simplifying things right there, there was much more going on on her side, what with several guys that she was dating on and off and she never really saw me as more than a gay friend or something). I still moved to Heidelberg anyway, as some of you might remember, even if only for a month. But I was happy when that picture was taken, and I guess that's the point?

Damn, blog post ahoy...

Not to say that I've been a sad sack for forever, but honestly, I don't think I've reached one of these moments yet. But I can feel it coming soon.

I know precisely what the two best/happiest days of my life were but I have photos of neither of them. Except in my head, which is where all the best photos are kept.

Incidentally I remember when I was a kid and the Japanese tourist dollar was really booming in Australia and it was standard practice to make fun (behind their backs) of the Japanese tourists' perceive tendency to take photos of absolutely everything they saw on their holidays. And now we all do exactly the same thing! Ahh, the circle of life.

So I used to know this woman by the name of Rae. Those of you who've been around for a bit might recall about 11 months ago when I discovered that she was basically a pathological liar and a grifter.

But about 8 months prior to that Rae called me over to her friend's house and arrived to find her in the nude, being painted by her friend. It was alarming, then awe-inspiring. I took pictures with my phone camera.

That was the first night I met the artist, who is now one of my closest friends. Rae had suggested this as a project for her (and I think she did a great job) but as it turned out Rae would use the photos to try and break the artist up with her girlfriend. I don't know where she is now. I expect in a decade or two she'll make a truly exceptional cult leader.

The artist was terribly hurt when the outward appearance of Rae fell apart last April. I would've been too, but by that time Rae had already broken my heart and I had cut her out of my life. I wouldn't admit it at the time but I was deeply in love with her. I would've done nearly anything for her, all of us (us being our circle of friends) would have. She was alive in a very uncommon way, and the best I can describe it is that I "fell into her orbit".

I don't know why I didn't get rid of these. I was thinking about them today - I'm 90% sure I saw her while I was driving through town.

Ignoring my Pizza Hut / Taco Bell pic, here are a few examples.

My uncle's 50th birthday. Nearly the entire family (14 of 18) rented a house on Newport Beach, California literally on the beach. It was the best vacation I've ever had. In this picture I'm pouring Veuve Cliquot NV Champagne prior to the actual party (which resulted in EVERYONE getting drunk off their asses).

I ran the Chicago marathon in 2008. I had never been in as good a physical shape as I was then, and I've gone to shit since. I have a goal to run two more marathons before December 17th, 2012, and I plan on properly training for both. (I didn't for the one in 2008, for various reasons, and finished with a shitty time.) Nevertheless, I was extremely happy that I finished.

I visited China - Beijing & Xi'an - in May & June of 2009. Absolutely fantastic trip. I fell in love with the country. This is me in Tienanmen Square.

--edit--
holy fuck these are huge; sorry. Will edit them tomorrow.

I just assumed it was in a park cause, like, 93% of the outdoor photos you post seem to have been taken in a park.

We are! It's Newnham, definitely one of the most surprisingly beautiful colleges. It looks pretty mundane from the street but from the gardens it's all Queen Anne redbrick splendour.
