Moments that make you go a bit weirderer.
1: Hearing a piece of music that just makes every single hair on your body stand up on end, knowing that every time you hear it from then on you will always feel the same. For me, "Cold Water" by Damien Rice and "Early Bird" or "Dream Awake" by The Frames.

2: Sleeping outside in Northumberland on a perfectly clear summer night, watching the stars and just letting the mind tick over and think about the world.

3: After you have had a few beers with some damn good mates, sitting down and putting the world to rights and having a good old natter, getting to know them better and realise why you count them as your best mates.

4: Holding my niece for the first time.

5: Being told by someone that they love you.

In Oregon,
While visiting my parents, I slept in a sleeping bag in the front yard, and woke up at about 4:30am, and drove 3 minutes to the beach.
I then walked up and down the beach in a fog so thick I couldn't see more than 15m in front of me.
Then watched the sun rise, thru that fog, and climb over the mountains.
Complete and Ultimate peace.

Surely
this is just the same as last weeks question!!!

Also standing over the lifeless body of the girl i abducted and murdered, that was pretty sweet.

Good stuff
Being initiated into a Witches' Coven by my best friend in the world.

Going solo to Times Square last New Years, and enjoying being utterly alone in a crowd of half a million partying strangers.

Reading Tarot for strangers in Central Park in Spring.

The first time I made a phone call crouched in the bushes outside someone else's house, hooked into their phone line.

First time I moved away from home, and slept in my own bed in my own place.

Hrm...
Finding out the girl I was seeing at the time was the type who loved doing all sorts of things I'd only ever read about on the Intarweb before, and pretty much checking off the list over the following weeks.

Wondrous as that was, fast forward a year to the point when I realised she was the fucking hell out of my life for good. THAT was bliss.

In case she ever sees this, no hard feelings dear, and I'm glad we're still long distance friends (as of this writing anyhow,) but apart from the sex you were an utterly shite girlfriend.

...this is the best...
I used to go clubbing and just get pissed and was adamant that I would never go further. Then on one occasion, I decided to progress, I necked one, twenty minutes later and, man, it was f**kin' awesome. When the world-class hard house DJ drops his "Revolution"ising piece of sound whilst you're coming up, there's nothing else quite like it full stop Adamant is now no longer in my vocabulary (unless it involves fingers and my a**hole).

My happy moments:
-My first wank
-Every wank since
-Having my head inside a dead guy's chest (very interesting- I was embalming him at the time)
-Umm, that's about it. I don't really have many happy memories.

reliable moments of beauty
lying in bed and having kitties jump up and lie next to you so you can hold them as a child holds a stuffed animal. and you all sleep peacefully.

warm, sunny mornings that are quiet save for the sounds of nature.

the taste of really good food, especially if it's something you've been craving and haven't had in a while.

oh, and orgasms.

Right Now.
Not drunk, but happily tipsy.

Mrs Humpty and I have just waved goodbye to two friends: They've been here in sweden for 4 years, and tonight we had them over for a cheese fondue to say goodbye. We sat and got trollied together, drinking white rusians and screaming orgasms, and now at 00:30, we've said goodbye. They return to thier home country in 3 weeks.... but this feels like then end of something beatiful.

Strangely at the end of something like this, it still feels great...

*****************

We're alone again.
I think we're gonna go shag like demons now :O)

Edit: We're an hour ahead in sweden....
Edit 2: (01:11am) I RULE!!!! 40 minutes!!! yayy!!!

It had to be
in a clearing in the woods in Yorkshire, looking up into a clear sky on a dark night, and seeing the whole sky filled with more stars than I had ever been able to see before. Really fantastic. Go somewhere away from towns and try this.
2nd place goes to seeing our baby guinea pigs just a couple of hours after they had been born.
Very fluffy indeed.

More great moments
-seeing my kids born,
-seeing one of them go from blue to pink (phew!),
-surviving a North Sea force 9 in what felt like the smallest ferry in the UK - I kissed the quayside when I got ashore,
-living the student life in edinburgh in the late 80's, early 90's; bloody great.
-not being made redundant by Waterstone's, then leaving of my own volition.
-discovering Terry Pratchett/The Cure/Gin
-spending the last of my money, and it was the last of what money I had then, on a 24 pack of beer for a friends birthday present.
-when I travel alone, the sense of adventure and not having to worry about the family.

Ive had lots but...
One of my all time best has to be GCSE results night, my best friend throws a moleste house party at hs house to celebrate us all passing and getting into college. Picture the scene, lovely warm summers evening, all your friends around you, more drink you can shake a stick at while dancing around from everything from Nirvana to the supremes while drunk off our tits. Then as the stars come up and the night draws in, someone slaps on Bob Marley and we all just end up in a big drunken heap in the warm night under the stars.

*Will never forget*

Well let me see...
Picture the scene: Noon on a lovely April day. Sitting on the sofa of my (then) girlfriends front room. Her on top of me getting rather excited. Then out comes her tits (Which were very nice). She then proceedes to press them right into my face while I promptly suck on them. Gotta be the most beautiful moment in my life...

great moments
My life swings back and forth from crap to great regularly.
But one of the memorable nights was when, after 3 miserable years working in an other town in a store I hated, I was told as I was preparing to leave for the soul destroying 90 minute commute home, that my transfer request was agreed. I was now moving to a store a 10 minute walk from my house. I would now get to see my kids, have a life and not bankrupt myself travelling everyday.

I walked home from the station in the rain in the autumnal twilight listening to "But Not Tonight.." by Depeche Mode, which summed up that happy moment.

My favourite place in the world
is a bench in Mary Stevens park...

It was one of those lovely summer nights when the sun is setting but its still warm.

For undisclosed reasons, me and my girlfriend had had to keep our relationship secret for 6 months. Which was one of the hardest and most painful things i've ever done. But all that seemed worth it when i lay on the bench, looking at ducks swim past on the lake, with my head on her knee, she looked at me and said "I just don't know what you're thinking sometimes" i said "really, like when"...she just stared at me and said "like now"

I sat up and looked at her, the sun reflecting of her deep sparkling eyes and said "I do you know"

I'd never seen her smile so much and that was the first time we told each other "i love you" and when i realised (long overdue) that she was the best thing that ever happened to me and during the next few weeks we told everyone we knew and we were happier than ever...

I suppose the memory is more beautiful now because i had my definition of perfection in my arms...

Unfortunately now i'm pining after her...the one that got away i feel...

Going to Grandmas
In Hampshire, in Dads old Transit. Pitch black but clear, travelling through the country, when we passed this field. And it was absolutley full of fog up to the tops of the walls, with just a few storks poking out. It was amazing.

Pabc: Yet another Matlock-area B3tan. I'm just up the road from Crummy Cromford :)

Standing by the men's toilets...
My then b/f had been weird and jumpy all day. We'd just been up St Paul's because he wanted to 'try out the whispering wall', (which turns out is bloody noisy with 10,000 tourists shouting at the same time). I still didn't catch on.
Then we climbed to the top of the dome because he wanted to go to the romantic little walkway at the top that looks out over London. (Also crowded and noisy). I was still clueless.
Then finally, we stopped in for a pint and the nearest pub we could find, and standing beside a lovely smelling men's bogs, he popped the question.
Class.
I did marry him though.

Alone but not lonely
One of my favorite memories was spending an unusually warm February day alone in the sunshine at the Pont du Gard in France. I probably should have felt lonely, but I just felt happy all day.

Psychedelic Sunrise
Went to a beach party just up the coast from mine with a load of mates. The whole night was generally amazing, but the best bit was watching the sun come out of the sea like a giant satsuma. There was a beautiful warm glow all over everything, picking out peoples faces in orange hiliights, which of course made everyone look stunning. The cherry on the cake was that the moon stayed in the sky, and we watched a plane fly between the satsuma and the moon, leaving a lovely orangey trail.

The fact that I'd eaten a stupid quantity of acid just made it all the more special.

Army days
I was in the army, carrying a fucking ton of kit on my back in my bergen. We were climbing some shitty hill in the back and beyond of Scotland. It was cold, wet, windy...and generally piss.

We climbed to the top of this hill, and took a rest in one of the elephant nests (read big dry-stone-dyke in a circle) and all of a sudden the clouds disappeared.

It was one of the most clear nights I have ever seen. I lay there, out the wind, out the rain, dry kit on, a mug of tea in my hands and lay and looked at the stars for about 20 mins.

Gorgeous, through and through.

In Tenerife
My beautiful moment was standing on our open-air balcony, watching the sun set behind Mount Teide, smoking a fag and listening to people playing pool and laughing far below me.

Excuse me, I think I have something in my eye....

Sunsets...
...are v over rated. Except one. Aged 15, rooftop terrace in Sorrento, listening to musicians playing emotional songs, watching the sun set over the Bay of Naples.

Never felt that way before or since, cried with happiness. I'd sacrifice all the sex and drugs in my life in exchange for that moment, I swear to god. Forget carnal pleasures. Sunsets are where it's at.

Rock Climbing
Stepping out onto the nose of 'Catwalk' at Matlock bath one crsip spring morning. One of my first ever leads (no rope above me) and the climb involved a step out into a bulge half way up. Below my feet the rock vansihed leaving the river at the bottom of the valley, to either side was the cliff face curving further away into the distance and above me was a brilliant pale blue sky.

The fear of making the step out onto the nose being replaced with the sheer beauty in _every_ direction was an intense feeling.

Warm glow
Went to Paris with then g/f, went up the Arc d'Triomphe at night, perfectly clear and warm night in November the sort where you could see for miles. I proposed, she said yes. So very very happy. That was six or seven years ago. Then we split up last year. Bugger.

Oh and the feeling I get from seeing my cat when he comes to bed looking all fluffy and loving, as if he is incredibly pleased to see me!
