OK, my top 5 ever are:
1. Playing 'Laser Strike' with a dozen friends when I was like 10 or something. Is it still even called Laser Strike? The one where they give you a light beam gun and a harness thing with sensors on it and you run around a really dark maze filled with smoke machines and strobe lights, blasting eachother to bits... ha ha!
2. The Luge in Rotorua, about the same age, racing with my cousins. Damn good fun.
3. Bridge Swinging over the Manawatu Gorge- one of the most exhilerating things I've ever done. There's a part of your brain screaming 'you're not supposed to jump off briges', and another part screaming 'go on, do it- chicken'. If you can summon the nerve, it's one of the coolest experiences ever!
4. Snow. It's still a real novelty to me, so one hint of the white stuff and I'm a little kid again.
5. After heavy rain, sometimes with blocked drains these gigantic puddles that build up and stetch out across the road- most people swerve to avoid them, but I go straight through. Splashing in water is fun... :-P
Ok, I ran outta steam with 4 and 5, but you get the picture- How bout youse guys?

off the top of my head, excluding times with family
1. when a chick i sexually assaulted invited me to her house for lunch 3 years later and treated me like a normal friend instead of a stalker
2. a prayer meeting with some new Christian friends at 7am back at Rochester and Rutherford Hall in my first year at uni
3. going to the Christchurch observatory one night with some special people, such a nice environment, wish i could repeat it but as who i am now instead of the person i was back then (ie. unappreciative)
4. i guess this one should've been first, going to Church and being invited to go up to the front to become a Christian, and being totally scared but comforted when the pastor put his hand on my shoulder
5. i'm out of steam but since it's the theme right now, soccer on the beach!

i don't actually get why you people ...
i don't actually get why you people have to get all PC about it, it was an honest answer and i don't see anything wrong with posting it here, it's like people saying don't talk about sex around 12 year olds, get over it they're already doing it, or the media restrictions on printing suicide stories. life happens and you gotta deal with it, i hate it when people pretend it's all innocent and sweet and then it happens to you and it screws you up. it's like saying don't talk about Graham Capill's paedophilia and that suppression order should've stayed on - why?
// i don't actually get why you people ...
// i don't actually get why you people have to get all PC about it,
it's not the PCness of it all, it's just the cringeworthiness factor.
I mean, here we all are, talking about 'good times', and you're reminiscing over some girl you sexually assaulted, and who then you took you back as a friend. that might count as a moment of redemption, a personal triumph, or something else besides, but it's hardly up with what I would consider a 'good time'.
// it's like saying don't talk about Graham Capill's paedophilia
// and that suppression order should've stayed on - why?
The suppression order was to protect Capill until his guilt was proved, after which discussion of his crimes was all over the media because of the sheer magnitude of his crimes, and his position in society. Your crime, on the other hand, is something I don't think we need to particularly hear about. And, despite your own take on christian honesty, I don't think Capill sits around in the prison exercise yard talking about his paedophilic exploits with his fellow cons?
// being totally scared but comforted when the pastor put his hand on my shoulder
sex crimes, capill, 'friendly' pastors...
//it's like saying don't talk about ...
//it's like saying don't talk about Graham Capill's paedophilia and that suppression order should've stayed on - why?
I'm going to echo Noizy's line about the cringiness of it, and also add in that 1) we talked about Graham Capill quite a bit if I recall correctly, and 2) if Graham Capill was a young naive boy who posted on this forum quite a lot about the fragile state of his mental health, I would also suggest to him that maybe internet forums aren't the safest or best place for catharsis, not because of what you're saying to us as such, but rather what we might say to you.

And therein lies the crux of the problem. It's about social appropriateness and reciprocity. In a conversation, you're supposed to assess what you want to add to see whether it fits both the flow of the conversation.
This had a positive vibe, which you totally brought down. There's also a level of disclosure that's appropriate relating to how well you know people.
You might want to look over Grice's conversational postulates.

sorry that was a bit harsh but i really think youse are being like, for example if a prostitute walks into a Church and all the congregation gets all tightass about it, the question of the topic was "what were your 5 top good times" and i answered it just as i'd answer it if you asked me that in person. i didn't reply to foetusboy's post and say "gee, this is not a child psychology message board where you reminiscent about your childhood, go tell it to your therapist" or something stupid like that

RH - assuming this woman has forgiven you in the past for your earlier transgression, do you think she'll be equally as forgiving of you for talking about the incident in a public forum, and passing on specific details via email to people you don't actually know?

and you obviously couldn't understand that my sarcasm in replying to rope. the same old "get help" line when you can't just admit youse are too PC, stop putting so much pressure on the mental health system they actually have real patients who need real help they're not some teaching social niceties service

plus i wasn't angry or annoyed, i was just pointing out your rule on "when discussing things everything must fit in this box". if you look at White Rhino's post below nobody replied to that and it talks about personal things, big deal, the only reasons youse are making such an issue out of my post is 'cos i have a Christian background to go along with it - nothing but prejudice. you turn on the radio and there's people talking about their abortion experiences - to me that's murder but i don't go 'round telling them what to and not to talk about
You really don't get the concept of ...
You really don't get the concept of "too much information", do you? This isn't political correctness gone mad, and, in keeping with your "you're only upset because I'm a christian" I suggest your calls of PC are purely due to your bias against the loony left that dominates this board.
THIS HAS PERPLEXED ME FOR MONTHS: you seem to view this internet community in completely contradictory ways:
1. you're still lonely & you throw so all this effort into posting here in the hopes that you'll be able to forge meaningful relationships with other members. (makes some sense, that's how I made my best friends; but exposing yourself so prematurely just freaks people out. Seriously, starting a sentence with "when the girl I sexually assaulted" is like walking around naked, and then saying "what??? it's perfectly natural!")
2. Because it's "just the internet" it's easy to fob everyone off. I know people like white rhino just like winding you up and they're worth ignoring, but all you've ever done is argue, despite some logical comments from some smart people. Your final line of defense is that people are attacking your christianity, but they're not - they're attacking your arrogance. & before you post a sarcastic comment about how I - some random that's never even met you - must know you so well, I suggest you think about this very point, pray if you need to, because when you post your responses, you don't really think, you only justify.
I wrote another rope post, but then I chickened out of posting it.

P.C .... me ..... yeah mate, I'm very P.C ... yeah too your far king right :-) ..... now kindly go off and get the help you need, I really can't be bothered with you and your "self help" class's anymore. I've read over the time you've been coming on here many things you've written, some good but others give an insight to YOU, and it's not good, you seem to come on here knowing your going to provoke a negitive response, yet you still do the .. I will die on my sword ... to have my say and my opinions expressed attitude, this isn't the place to do it .. I'll say to you, seek help in the real world and leave us out of it .. I think without exception you've had everyone on this site tell you something to that effect, and I'm sure if you take into account the fact that for the most part we're all mature intelligent adult people, surely that must ring bells .. as for your christian beliefs .. I have no problems with that at all, it's just a distraction created by you to take peoples eye off the ball when they get too close to the truth about you.

how about this - if i post something, reply to it only if you have something to add, rather than judge it. simple as that. i was simply answering a question, and i didn't do it 'cos i "wanted to make friends" or whatever, it was a good question which actually made me sit down and think "hmm, what were the top five good times in my life?" and i answered it just as i would have answered it if i asked the question myself. get over it

that's irrelevant. if she saw this thread, and could figure out that it was her that was being talked about, what do you think her reaction would be?
// if you look at White Rhino's post below nobody replied to
// that and it talks about personal things
all the posts here talk about personal things. that was the point of the thread. 'good times', and all. but to reiterate a point I've already made, most people wouldn't consider #1 on your list as the sort of thing that should make a 'good times' list. It's just weird.
// youse are making such an issue out of my post is
// 'cos i have a Christian background to go along with it
no it's not. note that no-one has actually attacked any of the other 'good times' on your list, which are all directly related to your faith.
// how about this - if i post something, reply to it only
// if you have something to add, rather than judge it. simple as that.

the point i was making about the name ...
the point i was making about the name was that it's not to prevent her from knowing it was her i was talking about, in fact she should know. it's like saying a murderer who came out of jail after parole shouldn't talk about his past because there was a victim. the point of not giving out the name is so that you people don't know who she is, so that for example youse can't point to her and say hey aren't you the chick who got indecently molested by me, not so that these social issues shouldn't be talked about at all. for example if my friend committed suicide, it would be stupid to say i shouldn't talk about it because his sister was affected because she would realise it was him i was talking about. it would however be stupid if i said and by the way this is his name, and this person is his sister

well, duh. my point (and this is the third time I've asked) was that do you think she'd be happy you talking about what was quite a traumatic experience in a public forum?
Sure, talking about the bad things you've done in your past may be therapeutic, whether you're a murderer or molester, I think there's a place for that sort of talk to take place, and a public internet forum isn't one of them.

Sexual assualt is a sin just like pre-marital sex is also a sin, just like lustful thoughts are also sinful. It's all ths same (and all can be forgiven). His 'sin' is a lesson to all of us....

//in keeping with your "you're only upset because I'm a christian"
Actually, I was thinking about this, after thinking about Gardner the other day. I think in some odd way, RH thrives on the sense of persecution, with him perceiving it validates the difference between his spiritual beliefs and ours.
In contrast, as you note Heather, it's far more to do with social skills than his belief set, and nothing to do with socialism or being PC. Ironically, I wonder if he doesn't see that because of the socialist nature of the church. Here, if you're being a dick, you get treated like a dick, but in a church context, the social welfare really is social... providing a friend network that you haven't earned...
