Memory Lane

Is there a certain memory that you constantly think of? Or a funny, screwed up time between you and your friends? Then let's take a walk down memory lane:

 Rules:
1. Nothing Erotic
2. Can be any memory/flashback you want
3. nO tYpInG lIkE tHiS- no matter how much fun it looks
4. Can be something depressing or happy- happy earns brownie points unless you can write something that makes me want to cry....
5. Must be very detailed
6. Not too long, I asked for a memory not a novel
7. Simple, yet worthy of reading

Example:
One time my best friend Ryan and I thought that downtown was just too boring at the moment. The Art festival was over, and it wouldn't be months until another buzzed up event. So we brilliant geniuses thought up of a plan that consisted of: bubble bath and the park fountain. In the mist of the night we were still in Kellogg park and no one was around except for a few closing shop owners. We called it our secret 'mission', and were so lucky none of the police men decided to take a stroll in downtown. We did the dirty deed of pouring about two (cough, four, cough) bubble  grape scented soap and came back in the morning to find bubbles overflowing the fountain.

Two-year olds were putting on a bubbly  beards, and highschool students were threatening their girlfriends that they'd drop them in the chill water . It became such an amusement park. One guy even took a picture in the knee-deep water and went under the suds. 

My friends and I still call it our masterpeice, although since then the police have been keeping a close eye out.....

See, short, sweet, and simple. It doesn't even have to be that long....(and yes this actually is a real memory of mine).  *diamond* *diamond*

 

Please leave all questions in the form of a compliment XD!


Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 13, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 100, Silver: 50, Bronze: 25, Honorable mention: 1 people
  • Final notes:
    I decided to end the contest early because my computers' been acting up lately, and I'm guessing people will get really pissed if their work isn't evaluated as should be.
    I would just like everyone who entered to know that every memory is special and worth the time to hear about. I only wish I had more points to give away!
    Anyway, since it was so hard to choose the finalists, I chose the memories that I could relate to the most. Although that doesn't mean that I didn't like the other entries. Each one had its own unique style and twist to it that made me feel a diversity of emotions.

    Keep a close eye out for more of my contests,

    I have a story that is based on my memories, as I didn't want to directly write about myself as it was quite personal-is it okay if I enter this?

      Feel free to write anything you want. Something sad or happy, frustration or, well you get the picture. As long as it foesn't break the rules.

      Oh, and I forgot to add one teeny weeney detail *smacks self on head* If you don't want to make something too personal, you can always write it in a different person's point of view. Although it has to be someone you're close to. But only if you really, really have to, as a last resort. Or else everyone will make something like it and get the wrong impression that I want fictonal memories.

      Hope this helps!

    ANNOUNCMENT!!!

    Okay, well my computer's been a little twitchy lately, so if you find that I haven't commented on your story, but have for others, don't get mad... blame my internet service.

    Beside from that, there's really nothing more to say. Except that the picture up above is from one of my favorite childhood shows- Turma Da Monica.....

    Have fun with the rest of your lives,
