When I was about 11 years old me and my life-long best friend, Jaime, thought it would be a fantastic idea to make a time capsule, and fill it with all the little sentimental objects from out childhood (things like baby bracelets, photographs, little toys, even my old blankie!) and we also wrote letters to eachother, saying how we loved being best friends, and we'd always stay "friends forever" (It was probably the nicest letter I've ever written anyone).
We wrapped it up and buried it one afternoon in my backyard, next to this big tree that was there at the time.
I remember we made a pact, that in 10 years time when we were 21 we would come back and unearth it, and remember the days of our childhood...
But time went on, and soon we forgot about the time capsule...
About 3 years ago we got an extention built onto the back of our house, and alas, we didn't remember the time capsule until maybe a year later.
Our house now lies over our capsule, (I'm pretty sure it's . . . Read More..

When I was in Grade 6, I remember our class went to "Shiloh Camp" for I think 3 or 4 days.
I was SO excited to go, because it was the first camp anyone had ever been on. I remember mum packing way too much for any occassion, in case it rained, flash flooded, was too hot, etc. She was the worry-wort mum that I think all mums are the first time a child goes to camp..
I remember eating way too much on the bus trip down, singing along with the Spice Girls cd someone had bought along...
I remember getting there, and "bag-sing" top bunk (we didnt have bunk beds at home) which I was so excited about.
I remember we did various rope activities, and other camp stuff...and then I started to feel sick.
I got so sick that I was made to lie in the teachers cabin on Ms. Downie's leopard-skin-printed bed (which smelt really gross) until the teachers finally decided to call my parents and send me home. I missed everything, and didnt even get to stay a night.

From (Early Adulthood) Original Memory Interview Question

Her Response:

I was nervous b/c I didn't really think I was going to like my 3 roomies. I was scared b/c the only person I knew there was my boyfriend and he was a piece of work. That all changed though within time. I honestly felt like I was at boot camp. Everything shut down at an early time. Nobody was outside hanging out. It was quiet and not that thrilling.

From (Pets in My life) Original Memory Interview Question

Her Response:

My Night saving a Kinkajou :
My favorite memory involving an animal is when my mother found a Kinkajou on her front screen door. Just hanging there like a big spider. She called me and said she had trapped what she thought was a ferret and asked me to bring over some cat food for this thing. She had captured it and had it in a cardboard box on her porch. Well, the second we saw it we knew this was no Ferret! It had HUGE eyes, clearly nocturnal and a large prehensile tail. It's fur was matted and it smelled really bad. It had been in the wild for a while. We were not sure what it was, but suspected it had to be someone's pet that had been let go, as that is very common in Florida. We thought it should be released in a less populated area and not given to animal control for disposal. (That is a killing facility)So, we decided to take it out in the country, where it would have a chance, and let it loose. When we got about 20 miles from town, we stopped at the Fire station out . . . Read More..
