Uphill Times
In response to the thread Downhill Times i am going to make the opposite thread, Uphill times.
Have you ever experienced a real high point in your life (thus far) where you felt like everything was going uphill? That you were getting everything you every wanted?
The person you had the biggest crush on had moved in next door or ur parents finally gave in and got u that new pet. You gained the friend that u have been close to for many years now. You gained a new member of the family.
Plz share. it will be nice to hear about the high times in ur lives and when its started to stop

Your post was hilarious. It's almost a copy of the format I used for my thread. 
My Uphill Times
4. My past youth camps.
I've gone on trips around Hawaii with my church friends in the past; the last one was in November 2002. We'd always go to this nice beach house on Oahu's northern shore; it was a very nice place. It was very nice to be with my friends. She was among them, although back then my crush on her did not develop yet.
3. My high school graduation.
This was the day when all of my years of high school finally paid off. It's too bad my best day of school was the very last day of school. I agreed to perform a song, so I had to go up in the middle of the ceremony. We had sung our class song fifteen minutes before, and my grad cap's tassel fell off when I put on my guitar strap. So when I went up to sing my song, I gave an impromptu speech to call to attention that I lost my tassel. What I said must've really been funny, because everybody in the auditorium were laughing. So I ended with some humorous remarks about my singing and started the song. My amplifier was accidently set too high, so I believe everyone heard more of the guitar than me. Nevertheless, I got really awesome applause. It was amazing.
2. My shopping trip to the mall with her.
It was a nice summer afternoon. I had asked my friend if she wanted to come join me at the shopping mall. I was very happy that she agreed to go. My mom drove us to the center and then my friend and I were left on our own for a few hours. We cruised the place, and our last stop was the food court. Both of us weren't very hungry, so we just had smoothies. We talked a bit, and it was a good bonding experience. I rarely get any personal time with her, so this trip was very, very good.
1. My prom night with her.
You can find this story in my Prom Night Stories thread.

nice thread!
I'm experiencing my uphill time as we speak, and for many reasons:
1) since my daughter came into my life, it's a special time for me, never board at home, always looking at her and interacting with her. I take as much time with her as possible and boy is it ever rewarding. I love her so much and she has brought so much joy in my life. Having a first daughter like this is not at all what I expected; so much improvisation, something new every day. I look forward to coming home from work everyday because I'm anxious to hear her laugh out loud and play with her. I could go on and on about the stuff we do with her, but there is a time limit to my posting as she is sleeping at the moment! 
2) My work is a permanent work at the government and with great benefits. I like what I do and will have a promotion very soon as I've won a competition for a new job within the same institution. It's really great and though it might be funny for some of you, when I get up in the morning, I feel good and psyched to go to work. I like it there since I know I get along with everyone and everyone regards me highly and that makes me proud of myself and gives me self-confidence.
3) I've lived in my house for a year now and I find it awsome. I bought a cheap house that looks great with a deck and a pool. it may not be very big, but it suits us just fine. These days (I'm on vacation) we stay in the pool all day and eat out on the deck. It's fabulous. Having a house you own is unlike living anywhere else; you own the place, so what happens to it is up to you. Since I like renovation, I like working around the house in our little garden, fixing the hose piping, the leaky pool filter and other small tasks. It's really like having a place of your own (with no parents, LOL)
4) I talked about my daughter, but my whole family is great. I also have a golden retriever that is very well trained and a great wife that takes care of my daughter like no other. I'm really lucky to have such a great wife that is so good with kids. I can't imagine what I do without her.
I could go on and on about my present life but I don't want to gloat. I'm happy, on paid vacation for a month, have a healthy family and just really enjoying life to the fullest. I'm living some fantasy life at the moment, and I know I'll have some down hill times later. But it's times like these that make me realize life is great. I might post some more if this thread takes off, since it's a really nice idea.
Well, if you are still there, thank you for reading all of this, and I hope this does not make anyone of you feel bad. I hope it gives all of you a chance to see that some time in the future, if not the present, things will be looking up for every one of you. 
Hope I get to read from all of you!

This is the kind of Thread that I like! And, by the way gentlemen, you have written some very good Posts!
I always welcome the opportunity to learn new things about my fellow HC members or to find out how they are doing in real life. That is why I can particularly relate to Conan's Post; it doesn't necessarily mention a moment from his past as being one of his best, but it elaborates on his present circumstances.
I remember explaining somewhere before how the "happiest moment in my life" was not in my past, nor is it in a dream for my future, but it is RIGHT NOW...in my present! I just can't remember where I wrote that...
Anyways, I'll go looking around for it instead of just repeating myself. Besides, sometimes it's fun to go over your old Posts and see what total nOObs we all once were!

Yesterday I got back from Belgrade where the greatest legendary rock band of former Yugoslavia "Bijelo Dugme" threw the biggest concert on the Balkans ever. Over 200,000 men, women, boys and girls, entire families, from neighbouring countries all across former Yugoslavia, gathered in Belgrade to remember the good times once more, to remember their youth and see their heroes maybe for the last time. This was a one time only chance for "Bijelo Dugme" fans to participate on such event, cos they havent played together in decades and as planned, the Belgrade concert is to be their last one.
Although the sound setting was bad, I enjoyed listening to some of the best rock ballads ever written for three hours and more. The feeling was extatic, being surrounded by so many people, singing in one voice. For outsiders "Bijelo Dugme" wont mean much, but it wouldnt be an exaggeration to say they were the Yugoslavian "Beatles" at the time. The band guitarist, Goran Bregovic, aftert he band break-up made his own career writing film music and is the most famous musician coming from the Balkans. "Arizona Dream", "Underground", "Black cat white cat" are few famous films for which he wrote the music, if anyone knows them/him.
Heres a small peek of how Belgrade looked two days ago.
Which reminds me...
Vlaad and Wiseman, werent you two there as well? Ah damn, if I had remembered earlier, we could have used this opportunity and have a dozen of those expensive beers together.

thx for the kind words guys. i started this thread soon after reading Leo's post about happiness and i thought this would be a good place to start.
i havent had much uphill times yet. just a few that are a bit more special than others. here they are
3) Liverpool FC Become Champions of Europe
a truly great moment as a supporter of Liverpool. at the start of this campaign my then favourite player, Michael Owen, left Liverpool for Real Madrid. i was devastated. but with wins against Juventus, Chelsea and AC Milan that was all forgotten. i was overjoyed that my team, a team that was tipped to go out numerous times became the greatest team in Europe. truly a great moment.
2)When my Cousins Visit from America
Every few years my american cousins visit from America. they stay a few weeks while we go places with them. this ofcourse means i miss alotta school but i get to go all over the city with them. they are coming again this year in about a months time. always fun to have them around
1)this would have to be my trip to Malta for 3 months, in 1998. my dad was born in Malta (but became a Canadian Citizen) and so were my mums parents. so we went back. i went and saw my many aunts and uncles and my only living Grandparents. if u know of Malta u will know of its size, so almost every day of the 3 months we went to the beach. the whole time we had something to do whether it was seeing family, visiting a new beautiful chruch or swimming at another beach. it was a tremendous experience

Not my cup of tea, sorry. I still remember last year's Sonic Youth and don't want to spoil the feeling.
We could've drunk those beers, though. Next time send an e-mail, smartass.
P.S. Tifa was awful.

It's been five months since my friend Laura left Hawaii for a mainland college. I've been holding out, but I still miss having her around. I miss our prom night with an intensity that I've never felt before. After all, that was probably the single most important night of my life (the second would probably be my high school graduation, but even that pales in comparison).
I remember reading her note the afternoon before she left; the one that said she was uncomfortable about being more than just friends. I was devastated by it, and the bad feeling stayed with me for a while afterwards. I was sitting alone at a table inside the local McDonald's reading my World History book at about 1 or 2PM the day after. I knew her plane was leaving sometime within that hour; I felt really sad and alone. It was a terrible way to end it.
I'd spoken about it with my mom and grandma until they got tired of my whining. I still needed someone else to share my story with, and it had to be from outside of my family. A church member in particular, but that would be a great embarrassment if word got around. I held off on it for a time.
After a while, I started emailing my drummer friend from church. She's my age, and we got along well through our interest in music. One day, I asked her about a recent Xanga entry she'd posted; apparently, a guy she really liked was about to move to Europe. She was crushed by it, so I shared my story with her in hopes that she wouldn't feel alone in misery. From that point onward, we kept each other updated on our situation and swapped encouraging words. It felt great to finally tell a trusted friend about my problems. My drummer friend and I were really kindred spirits that time; we've become better friends since then.
Laura's been writing in her own online journal every once in a while. I'd check it every day just to see if she posted something. I didn't care if it was interesting or not; at least I'd know what's going on with her. Well, I'd have to say that everything she writes interests me. Each time she posted something was like a breath of fresh air to me. It still is, in fact.
Laura came back to Hawaii for a short break in December. She came to church, but I couldn't bring myself to face her at that time. I was still very discouraged by the note she gave me, and I didn't want my nervousness to show. It turned out that I didn't meet her while she was here. It made me feel bad that I was too freaked out to make even a friendly gesture like welcoming her back. I had little control over it, though.
Then came a new semester of school and plenty of horrible things to worry about. Laura never left my mind, but I couldn't do anything except check her online journal. That was already routine for me, so nothing really special happened for a while.
And then I suddenly received an email from Laura in early February. I was so happy and excited when I saw her name under the "From" list. She wrote to check up on how I was doing, saying that we hadn't spoken to each other in a while. In my reply, I said it was great to hear from her. I asked her how she was doing in college, but I made sure not to mention the note or anything bordering personal. She replied, and then I replied again. She hasn't replied in about six weeks now, but I'm still trying to wait patiently.
I was so incredibly blessed by receiving those emails from her. It restored a faith in me that I thought was a lost cause. While I wait, I can't help but feel overjoyed by this sign of hope. Perhaps this dream of mine is worth clinging to after all.

Uphill times you say.
Well here are just some of mine:
The first time i ever played a computer game
---------------------------------------------
This was a very long time ago and I can still remember it all of these years that have passed by.
I think the first game I maybe ever played was Hocus Pocus, and that still is with me to this very day, because basically computer is my life, and I like computers a hell of alot.
I use them every single day, and this may be called an obsession in some other peoples eyes, but for me its my life-long dream to always play computer games.
When I grow up I want to be able to make computer games, and this, by playing computers alot will give me more, and more understanding about how computer games work.
I have been playing computer games for many, many years, and I love doing it every day.
First time I got a nintendo 64
-------------------------------
This being my first console not hand-held, I felt very very happy.
I was 7 years old when I got my nintendo 64, and I still love it even to this day. I remember my first game which was Super Mario 64.
That game had superb graphics at a time when games didnt really have that good graphics, and it had good gameplay and good music, which was quite addicting.
I got many n64 games over the years, and this will be regarded as one of my happiest times in my life
First time I played HOMM
-------------------------
The first time I played HOMM was actually in 1997, I didnt play number 1 I played HOMM2, demo on a PC Gamer 1997 January or March Edition, I think it was March though .
Anyway, this game blew me away, and I wished I could get the demo.
One day my dad came in while I was playing the Demo, and being a man that doesnt like wasting money, handed me HOMM2 Full Version.
I was so happy, and even to this day, if it wasnt for him, then I would have never got into this game.
I thank him very much.
Basically because HOMM is one of the best games, if not the best game around.
First Time I got an Xbox
-------------------------
I was either in year 7 or year 8 at school which would have been either 2003 or 2004, when I first got my xbox.
We didnt have much money then, and I seriously didnt think I would get an xbox for my birthday.
My Birthday came, and I got my presents.
Xbox wasnt one of them yet.
I then said thankyou, well one of my presents was Maxy Payne, and I was happy and confused, as I hadnt yet got my Xbox.
I said thankyou, then my mum stopped and gave me my Xbox.
I was thrilled and so happy.
I finished Max Payne in one day of course, and that didnt stop me, as I have got about 10 games, but finished them numerous times, but that doesnt stop me from having fun with this beautiful machine or console.
By the way i have a message to PS2 fans: XBOX RULE PS2 ARE BAD 
First time I liked a Girl
--------------------------
I first liked this girl called Jill.
I was kind of forced into liking her, but then I eventually stared actually liking her.
I was afraid to talk to her, well I talked to her sometimes but mainly just afraid.
This bit will end in a kind of sad story btw.
Anyway Since I was afraid to talk to her, I wrote her a letter asking if she would like to go out wit me.
Since she didnt catch the same bus ome with or as me, her friends told me her response.
She said no or declined my offer.
I felt crushed, but I didnt cry or sound to sad.
I just said "Ohh ok then"
and just changed the topic even though that topic hurt.
I have liked several other girls since, but still to afraid to ask them out because I fear they may say no like Jill did.
First Time on the internet
---------------------------
My first time on the internet was early this year, well first time on the internet at home that is, I had been on the internet before, way before, but not at home.
This was totally awesome, and this has been so fun for me.
I first came to HC on March the 4th 2006 obviously if you looked at my profile.
HC has been my first forum that I came to, and im very priveleged to be able to come here, because quite obviously the admin, Valeriy, has done one of the best jobs I have ever seen, even better than me 
He has done superbly here, anyway back to MY life story.
I loved coming here, well still do love coming here, and shortly after coming to HC I decided to create my own forum which is going rather well at the moment.
I also have joined several other forums: Guardians Grove, HC, HeroicAlliance, and several others.
Im loving those aswell, and out of them all I love Heroic Alliance and Heroes Community the best.
Absolutely love them.
Love all the members here, not actually love them but love in friends and love what they write and stuff.
They are very talented, wlell all of you are very talented posters, except for the ones that have been banned except maybe Stiven but lets not get into that
Internet for me has been a kind of escape from reality I call it, for my real life is horrible, well not horrible but what I have to deal with every day.
I have to deal with myself and that lone is very hard.
I have learnt something here at HC and that is:
Its much easier to get a -qp or penalty then it is to get a +qp or bonus.
Thats very very true infact, and I believe it 100% all the way.
Anyway my internet has been very fun and I will enjoy going on it for many years to come.
Another thing about the internet has been online gaming and of course msn and AIM which I recently downloaded.
I can talk to hundreds of people which I do and I have made some very good friends here just by talking on msn.
An example is Legendmaker, me and him talk all the time and I have to say he has given me alot of advice, which I try and follow so much.
I care alot about him, not love him but care because he is a friend.
Another couple of people are Trogdor, and me and him are also good friends btw I am God Trogdor if ytou are reading this
I used to talk to Valeriy, and I loved talking to him, and he helped me improve some or many of my posts.
I thank him dearly for that.
If it wasnt for msn I wouldnt have made so many friends that I have right now.
I have way more friends than I used to when I didnt have internet or msn.
This is a big plus for me, as I love talking to people, and i'm not afraid what to say on msn.
I also met some people by playing online games.
A classic person is Legendmaker as me and him have played maybe more then 20 homm3 and homm2 games, and I have to say he is a pretty good opponent, although I am very good, im just not used to playing online is the big problem for me.
But LegendMaker has taught me many tricks of the trade both in homm2 and homm3, and I thank him dearly for that.
So without Internet I wouldnt be here speaking right now, and saying all these things about my life.
Well thats basically my life, or uphill times.
So yeah

@SVarog: Black cat white cat! 8) I thought I was the only person in the world that have actually seen that movie. I love it.
Anyway. Uphill. The only time I can remember I felt good for REAL was when I had my first crush on a girl (well, I still like her a LOT, but back then everything was painted in pink ). I was 18 (yes, I was 18 years old when I ever felt any emotions connected to somthing described as "love") and it was summer. I had gone through a very dark period wich lasted several years (of course, the feelings I had during that period still hits me from time to time), and it was amazing to discover that I COULD feel things other than raw hate and fear. As stated above, the entire world was fluffy, pink and everything overflowed with sweet smells.
The bad things about it was that life was simplier back then. Now everything is so complicated. This entire social-thingy is quite difficult to adapt to I you've spent several years in a emotional balck hole. But it's worth it.

Yay, happy things.
1. Surprise birthday party
This really stands out in my mind because it's one of the only surprise parties that was truly a surprise. Anyone who's planned one knows how hard it is to keep it under cover and have it remain a "surprise" till the end.
This happened the year before I left Ohio. One of my best friends (who was going through some hard times with her family) has her birthday 3 days before mine, and everyone decided to plan a surprise party for her to cheer her up. I used to organize a lot of gatherings, so I volunteered to be the coordinator. Everything went really well until the very last week, and everyone started to drop out, saying that other things came up and they couldn't make it. It was rather disheartening at first, and we canceled the party. My friend invited me to go over to her house to spend the night and celebrate together (like we always do). Since I didn't have anything else planned, I went. When I got there, I realized that the everyone who "had other plans" was already there, and the surprise party that I had been planning all along was actually meant for me.
2. Ohio friends visiting
I did not adjust very quickly after moving to Michigan, and my parents were always too busy to take me back down to Ohio to see my friends. This was also before I got a driver's license, so I couldn't drive myself. So one day, I get a call from one of my best friends, suggesting that if I can't find a way to visit, then they'll come to Michigan and pick me up. It's a 5 hour drive up, and another 5 back. And 2 trips of picking me up and dropping me off totaled 20 hours of driving for one weekend for 4 of my friends. And it was one of the best weekends of my life.
3. More stuff with friends
It's funny that all the good memories are linked with bad, and vice versa. This happened right after I broke up with my ex. Without necessary details, I had a nervous breakdown, and I abruptly signed off from AIM. I picked up my cell and dialed home because I felt so helpless and didn't know who I could talk to. I guess Arkm saw me sign off and figured something was wrong, so he IMed my best friend in Ohio and told her to call me, because he figured that I needed to talk to an Ohioan. And after rambling to her for a while, Arkm shows up at my dorm, because my best friend figured that I needed someone to be there physically so I'd have a shoulder to cry on. Over the next few days, I got a bunch of calls from people I haven't heard from in years, and I got quite a few people asking for my campus address so they could come up and visit.
4. Cedar Point
Yep, nice and simple. ^_^ It's not really the trip, but the company that make it great. In these pictures in the Daily Chat, the girl on the left is my best girl friend from Ohio. On the right is my best girl friend from Michigan. In the other picture, the guy on the left is my best guy friend from Ohio, and Arkm is my best guy friend from Michigan. Now, I'd be cool if I could say the last guy we brought was my boyfriend, but I don't have one. So... the guy on the right is Arkm's best guy friend. That doesn't sound nearly as cool. Oh well.
Good times.

If there's anything I've learned it's not where you go, it's who you go with.
Same thing works on a different level. It's not where you live it's who your neighbors are.
It's not where you work or what you do, it's how not-lazy, not-imcompentent, not-aggravating your co-workers are.

Yay! I've been there! Dragster, front row! 
You reminded me of another thing to add to my somewhat short uphill list: 10 days in Michigan with great people. It was in June -05, and it was warm and sunny (we arrived just to see the mom in the family finish some sort of bizare running event in Trenton), and stuff and great.. We (me, my sister and a cousin) did the Henry Ford Museum (which was ok) and while there we saw Batman Begins @ Imax.  But above all, we met really great people. Even some cool canadians!
BTW, I'm not very impressed with Mighigan/Ohio highways.. Kinda boring.

OMG you won't believe what happened when we got there! There was practically no line, we were pretty much the next to go, and the thing breaks down! We stood there for like 45 mins and then they said they fixed it, but it broke again (line is really long by now)! So we decided to leave, and right when we got to the exit, they fixed it!! And... we never got to ride it.

Ooo.. They DO have problems with it. EXACTLY that happened to us too. My sister got very nervous and left while the rest of us stayed. It took us 2 hours to get to it, and that was my second round when I sat in the middle! Anyway, I recommend it. It's so.. dreamy. As smooth as Millenium Force and faster than a Lamboughini test-driver on crack.

I have had several more uphill times.
The other day I had to go and have my heart checked, I thought something was wrong, and all turned out completely fine.
Nothing wrong, but there may be something they just cant well they can but they are not 100% sure as of yet.
This has been a huge relief for me, as I thought I was going to have to have heart surgery or something, now I dont and im very glad.
My Dad found about all these forums and msn and all that, and now it is all good.
No more haviung to lie, but now I can come on without feeling worried he may open my door and find out I am on here.
He has come in several times and watched me type in some things but he didnt have an argument with me, which is very very good, because we get alot of arguments in my family, and finally something I love doing doesnt have to be the start of one
Went off the computer the other day for about 2 hours, to go tenpin bowling with my sister and mum.
I had to vs my sister, and she won first game and I won the second.
I played quite poorly that day though, because I usually get in the high 100's, and I think I have got 200 before, not too sure, but I think I have, and thats my best ever then.
Anyway the day went really good, and my sister and mum had alot of fun, although my mum didnt play as she was tired, but she watched instead, which was good aswell I suppose.
I will like to do that again, as I had my eyes off the computer for 2 hours and had some fresh air which was very nice

This is funny. Most young teenage boys are afraid of getting caught with porno mags.

Iris, I remember when you had in your profile: If you see me happy that means I like you and if you see me sad, that means I trust you. It's good to have friends that you can be sad around. It helps you get through tough times.

"A shared grief is divided, a joy is multiplied."
I don't like how there are so many posts in Downhill Times, but not even a full page in Uphill times. There are way too many depressing things going on. Come on, people, let's share happy times. (Or do you really need QPs as incentives to share anything? Be mature. )
I recently got my first official job offer for employment. That was rather exciting. The interview took place in Baltimore (Maryland), but my position is going to be in Dallas (Texas).
I received the phone call a little over a week after the interview, and it sort of came as a surprise. And because I was rather shocked, I think I was a little slow to respond on the phone, which may have sounded like I wasn't that excited about the offer. As a result, another email came the following day saying that they'll give me a free trip down to Texas to tour the area and meet the team. He said "I'm sure that that once you visit us, you will feel excited about joining our team." Hehe.
