On Being Excited
I'm sure we all remember our first day of college, first kiss, first sexual experience, second sexual experience, third sexual experience. They all have one thing in common, excitement. The problem with excitement is that very few things in life can manage to bring about consistent levels of it. I can't seem to remember the last time that I was first kiss excited, and certainly not first sexual experience excited. I'm sure I've been 50th sexual experience excited quite often but I'm sure we don't need to go any further into that metaphor. It could get messy. But anyways. I'm taking a poll. When is last time that you were so excited that you could not contain yourself? I don't mean sexually, although that would certainly be an acceptable mode of excitement for this query.
Not that I'm a gloomy individual, my disposition is actually quite agreeable. I've just had so many wonderful experiences in my life that I think my bar is set a bit high these days. So here is a very abbrevriated list of my most exciting moments in recent memory. Not in any order.
The day I decided to go back to college
The the first time I caught a wave (surfing)
The day I graduated Marine Corps Bootcamp (Very distant memory)
The day I started my own business
Any time I've gotten on a plane to go somewhere new
The day I wrote my first piano composition
The day I played it for my best friend
The Day I got out of the Marines
The Day I got my scholarship for graduate school

I am a an easily humored person. I am sure I have been super giddy/excited/elated many times in the past year, however they currently elude me (I need to go to sleep). Although one that sticks out is my acceptance into Grad school. Well, not just acceptance but actually finding something I wanted to dive into.
More on all that later.. I am really excited to write about it ;)

...when I proposed to my ex-fiancee.
Wow...that was just one of those mini-epiphany moments. Sometimes we don't realize how much we can change in just a few years until someone asks a question like that and we really think about it. I've gone from being someone who was giddy about spending the rest of my life with someone to someone who really doesn't think he wants to get married.
There may be some further thought necessary on this...maybe not...but thanks for that mental shove.
when i came to the united states. i thought it was all going to look like las vegas. i was disappointed.
i will count this one in, even tho it was negative excitement; when i saw my boyfriend get shot.
when i had a baby.
when i had to testify in court.
when i was flying to d.c. on sept 11th. and when i had to inform the passengers as to what happened.
when i've gone on all my vacations.....soooo many....sooo great!
oh yeah, how could i forget! when i won the 6th grade talent show at west hertel academy dancing to flash dance with white gloves and a strobe light!
when i got accepted to grad school.
when i got to go backstage at the bones thugs and harmony concert, and i didn’t have to suck any dick for it!
when stone temple pilots were my passengers and i got to hang with them.
when i went back to poland after 13 years to see my father, he now was a distant memory.
when i found out my father died, right after leaving poland, and having to fly there again for the funeral.
For me, there have been many times i have been really excited. Then again, i tend to be the junping up and down excited type.
But, the last time i was so excited i could not contain myself was recently. I got a letter from the BCIS (bureau for citizenship and immigration services, formerely the INS, or immigration and naturalization services) telling me that i was approved for a permanent green card. I excitedly told my husband. My mother was visiting at the time and i ran up the stairs to tell her and in my haste and excitement, she thought i was distressed from all the yelling.
