Fond memories

Post by CasualCollision »

What are some fond memories you have? Do you find it weird that you sometimes fondly remember not so good experiences?

I fondly remember having a broken arm and having no control of my thumb, eating fried rice with only an MP3 player and old DOS games to keep me occupied at 3 AM. That was nearly 4 years ago, before I got my new laptop.

A lot of my fond memories revolve around times where I wasn't plagued by anxiety/depression problems, like playing with my step-bros when I was very little, or when I first joined this site and being able to make a lot of new friends. Probably the most fond memory I have though is of the entirety of the Sonic Boom 2013 event in St. Louis, likely the best day of my life.

For unpleasant experiences that I still have fond memories of, I can remember how happy I was to receive Easter presents in 2003 when I was hospitalised with viral pneumonia.

Man. Just being a kid and loving this site... I learned a lot here. So many cool memories that I'm glad I have!
Edit: Just realized I joined this site when I was eleven! Insane! This place literally defined my childhood.

I have fond memories of being Dr. Eggman.... in a Sonic X RP. And everywhere else, technically speaking. I want to RP again- but I can't because no internet.

Back when I didn't need anxiety meds to roleplay.
Back when I didn't realize the people I looked up to were actually hella mean.
Back when this place was waaay more active.
Back when I pretended to be the innocent one for attention.
Back when we used the chatbox instead of Skype.

Good times? Who knows!

Gosh, a lot of CI related ones in this thread. This place didn't define my childhood as much as it did my early and middle adolescence. Although I have great memories of this place, they tend to be overshadowed by how much I cringe when I think back to how I used to act. I hella miss the times I had in the old CI minecraft server run by Lunar though. If only I hadn't raged so much and made a fool of myself.

I was already an old man when I came here so I didn't do much cringe worthy stuff.

Mostly just making threads with subject matter that nobody wanted to post it.

I had to put my cat down and it's hard to remember but she was so cute. It was the first time she let me hold her for an extended period of time. I also got to sob like a maniac, which I always like in a weird way.

ANYWAY, happy memories, meeting Aidan is a favorite of mine. Ones with my family are nice too, love the holiday ones. I don't like to revisit memories of Chao Island very much, too much bittersweetness.

When I got my first kitten, being overjoyed and excited to go to school, live life, play video games. having loads of fun on this site when I was like 10-13 years old. The hero chao fan club, REALITYcomics, countless failed Pokemon hacks and dumb projects.

Good times, I guess. ;-;

Related to CI, the roleplays here were the tail-end of my childhood. Heck, just coming online period when the boards were still really active, and getting really happy when my friends logged on... that was the stuff. I don't know why, but I was able to [somewhat] feel like a part of the community here, whereas I tend to feel like a social outcast on every other forum I still frequent. Mfw...

Fond irl memories... not many? But:
Any time I've spent with my brother
My dad reading me a bedtime story the last time I saw him
My aunt (who I rarely ever see or hear from) taking time out of her day to visit me when I was hospitalized in 2013
A horrible camping trip I went on with my sixth grade class, where my cabin-mates were nothing but dirty to me the entire time
