:) so what has happened in this last year that fills you with joy just to think about it? perhaps it is an experience, or perhaps an achievement?
For me, absolutely hands down, it was my Second American Dreams tour, which saw 19 days of me traveling over the United States in September. Specifically meeting Jens Pulver, having dinner with him, and then getting to interview him, and what he said to me in the carpark outside afterwards, but also Sitting on outside my room on the veranda at the Ramada Inn West, in Richmond when it was sunset, reading or writing in my diary and watching the world go by (and of course meeting Ben :laugh:) also, the fun me and aaron had getting lost on the wat to Granite city :laugh:, or perhaps walking along the shoreline of Lake Michigan infront of downtown Chicago, which was a two year dream of mine from when I flew over the skyline in 2007, or possibly sitting in amoungst the cactus in The Botanical Gardens on the National Mall in Washington DC reflecting on all i'd done right at the end of my tour.
What about other years?
Well I dont want to bore you, but The International Wine Festival during Freshers Week at Bradford University in 2000 was much fun, as was going as a whole floor, to see the premier of Hannibal :laugh:
In 2001 I think it must have been the work I did as a Fundraiser for Saint John Ambulance in Leeds, going door to door for three weeks trying to get pledges by direct debit and working on a commission basis only :laugh:
In 2003 it must have been the week long celebrations for my Twenty First Birthday, organised by all kinds of friends :happydancing: Also getting a First for my Dissertation.
In 2004, hands down the best experience I ever had at Saint Paul's Cathedral was watching the Consecration of Bishops Ceremonial from back stage. Watching them come in dressed as Priests, and watching them change into Bishops Vestments, attended to by Virgers, whilst the Congregation were praying for them. Also, when I got invited to Tom and Steves home in Walthamstow for this grande dinner they put on. That was fantastic, mostly because I wasnt expecting to be invited :)
2006 was joining this place, and the hours I spent talking to Denise offside.
2007 was definately my first States Trip, getting to meet Boomer, and Matt Hughes, (although the actual moment we first met was kinda embarissing for me :mellow:) and also being shown around his land on this funny little truck thing that Nathan drove (I was like clinging to the back trying not to fall off :laugh:) Seeing Nathan in his armchair, and knowing that at all times, he has some kind of scented Candle burning in the house. Very quaint indeed :happydancing: and then Matt Hughes co signing all my travellers cheques so the bank would actually cash them...that was real strange, you had this official looking cheque and on each one, my signiture appeared next to his :w00t: )
2008, had to be being invited along free to Cage Gladiators, and winning letter of the month in Fighters Only Magazine. All the endless hours of fun that my Camara has bought me.
What about you :huh:
