Looking back over your life, is there an event you didn't recognize as a defining moment, but ended up being one?

I was a "pothead" about 2 1/2 yrs ago and if it weren't for getting pregnant I would be still. I feel lucky that I was able to choose a better path for me and my son, but I know many others who continued even throughout their pregnancy to smoke weed among other drugs. It was my fate to have my son. If it werent for him I would be jail-bound for sure....

Of course.. many.

My first semester in college I was looking for a job. Ideally it would be something on campus doing programming and I found two possibilities. One was doing simulations of railroad traffic and the other had to do with trying to get this networking stuff running on personal computers. The railroad job was available immediately while the other would maybe start in January and wouldn't pay anything until the second semester. But the networking job sounded more interesting so I turned down the railroad simulation and my career since has basically followed from that decision.

I had no idea when I first let Sue kiss me, that things would progress the way they did. Even though I loved her as a friend at the time and was attracted to her, I assumed it would probably just be another fun, exciting affair with no real strings....BOY WAS I WRONG!
*cheering*

dab - gee that sounds familiar except I don't think I had any alternatives lined up

mandy -

Yes.

Just about every day of my life has contained a defining moment of some kind.

I just read "defining" as "defiling."

What's the difference between "Not that I can think of." and "Maybe, but I can't think of it now."? I picked both, just to be safe.

Enhe....

Yes, when I was in fifth grade I had to choose between band or chorus for middle school. Well I chose chorus. So for the last 6 years I have been in chorus. It has given me the chance to sing at Carnegie Hall, in the Para Olympics and many other places. At the same time I have developed life long friendships. And tomorrow is my last day of chorus. I am leaving all of my friends. It is going to be a very sad and upsetting day. I have been crying over this day for a while now.

I'm depressed now.

Hey Lauren,

*Hugs*

You heading off to college or something like that? Or moving?

I am moving to another school district. I have one year to make some good friends, because I am graduating next year. Then I am off to an out of state college. So this year is like I my graduating year.

Thanks for the hug.

the first time that they and i chatted....
