watching Pierce trying to climb over the seat in the BU van, getting stuck on the bottom, having Meagan and Heather undo his tearaways and tie them to his legs, while he was still trying to get back onto the seat he started from, peeking over the seat while trying to crawl himself up. All of this in the space of 15 minutes.

all the moments spent with Shari
all the kick ass moments spent on Feelin' Groovy, including the endless painting, the tech vs. actors feud, the late hours, the tears, the drama, the tech rivalry, the partying around, the fosse dance mockery, the planned horrible singing done by the techs, the two different parties planned out, the horror of opening day coming up, the feeling of being shafted, all of it, being worth it, in the end. (here's hoping anyhow)

the time when Steff thought it would be funny to tie up Sara's shoelaces, and she couldn't get them undone, so Steff was dragging her down the hallway by the ring in her backpack... and watching Sara hobble down the hallway, tripping and falling, trying to get her shoelaces undone.. then Steff carrying her a ways, then finally undoing her shoelaces for her. hehe.

doing Dead Man Walking that one time.. where Steff ran across the bridge, jumped and rolled down a hill; where Krystina got poison ivy from a plant on the bridge; where I lost Lobbie to the stream; and where, um, Laura watched us all and laughed her head off. Man, great times.

my childhood, with Steph, involving tricycle stealing, bike giving, jumping off the two towers as a lack of nothing better to do, playing grounders with my brother, hitting Tony with a baseball, disguised as a snowball, snowmobiling, making quincees, trying to make Tasha pull us on the sled, trusting Steph to be able to steer us down a hill in an unsteerable wagon, sticking my tongue to a pole, being left behind while bike riding cause of being the smallest, weakest one, having Nick protect me, on my side half the time, being pulled by Nick on a bike while sitting on a skateboard racing Tony and Steph down our street cause there were no hills, picking dandelions for my allergic to them mom.
