Giant Meme o' Me - Days 17 and 18
Apr. 8th, 2011 03:10 pmDay 17 – Your favorite memory
It's not my only favourite memory - it's one of several, all equally treasured for different reasons:
One night, while I was a summer camp counsellor at a girl scout camp in Iowa, back in 1996, I was walking back from the shower block to the camp ground I was living in. It was a perfectly clear summer night, with the sky full of stars and the air just the perfect temperature - not too warm, not too cold. There was a low hill covered with grassland about half-way, and I remember pausing to look up into the sky, a slight breeze rustling the grass and the trees nearby, feeling a moment of perfect clarity and content and for a moment, I wondered how it was I kept my feet on the ground; I felt like I could just exhale and let go and I'd drift up and away.
Day 18 – Your favorite birthday
My first birthday in Canada. We had a Pretty Night, with
indiana_j and
ferox combining their birthday celebrations with mine. We had tiaras and Cajun food at Big Daddy's and then cocktails made by Marlena at the Griffin (sour apple - they were awesome!) and everyone was having a great time and I felt so loved and accepted and welcomed. It was wonderful after years of my birthday going by with not a lot more than a call from my folks (which wasn't bad, in itself, but the doofus didn't tend to be very active in celebrating my birthday and I lived lived with him. :( )
