hi, thanks for participating! please find and review the below questionnaire. to participate, please answer all or some of the questions and return it to me. there are no rules to what or how you answer, however, some things to keep in mind while answering:

-I don't want to go too much into it yet (although if you're clever you can prob figure out what I'm doing) but I intend to post some, part of, or all of your answers. The answers will be posted anonymously for many reasons. It will help me keep poo poo anonymous if you don't include personal identifying information in your written or photographic answers

-each question has 2 parts, a written element and a photo element. please try to answer both parts of each question if possible

-I will endeavor not to change the content of your answers, but I will edit out potentially identifying information, truncate for length if necessary and standardize grammar in an attempt to eliminate identifying writing/grammar stylings

-I will never reveal your identity. Im really not into it. however, if privacy is a mega-concern feel free to email your answers anonymously to byobnights@yahoo.com

-I'm hella busy this week, so you have until next Tuesday the 28th to get it back to me. don't feel like you need to take that long on it because this isn't any kind of serious poo poo, but you have that long, if you want it

QUESTIONNAIRE

1. Describe the happiest memory you have. Please include a photograph that you took at or near this time, or a photograph you took that reminds you of this time.

2. Describe the saddest thing that's ever happened in your life. Please include a photograph that you took at or near this time, or a photograph you took that reminds you of this time.

3. What is the most important thing in your life right now and why? Include a photograph that you took of this or that expresses the concept of this to you.

4. What is the most difficult thing happening in your life right now and why? Include a photograph that you took that reminds you of this thing.

5. If you could only say one final thing to one final person at this exact moment, what would it be? Please include a photograph that you took that expresses this sentiment to you.

Thanks again for participating!

i got more responses than i expected and i loved them all. i wish i could share them all but im pretty loving serious about keeping poo poo anonymous so i edited out or didnt use a bunch of stuff i thought might be potentially identifying. whats left is still pretty great, imo, and so thank you, again, for sharing. im still accepting submissions so if you didnt get in the first batch thats ok, just send me the answers to the above questions whenever you have time

please try not to be a dick or speculate, because im really not into hurting peoples feelings and i'll shut this down if i feel like thats happening and then everyones hard work would be for nothing and you wont get to see all the poignant poo poo your fellow posters are thinking about

oh yeah also please be patient with me because im hella busy and just kind of working on this when i can and also feel like it

I find being alive the most important thing. It sounds sappy, but I'm always so glad to be alive and surviving in this beautiful world, with people who care about me.

My happiest memory is the day I bought my house. I did it on my own. It was a great feeling of independence.

The most important thing in my life is my job. As sad as it is, I couldn't have anything else in my life without the money my job earns, however little it actually is in the grand scheme of things. So I value my job higher than anything else. If I get a call at 3AM that something's hosed up and I need to go in to help, I'm out the door before I even remember to change out of my pajamas, which I remember because I also forget my keys.

I would tell my dad that I love him and wish he would get help. The family had already addressed his addiction but when that occurred I was deemed too young to participate. But who knows: maybe my voice would have been a deciding factor. Unlikely but better to have at least tried. The old man never got to see his kids graduate high school or college and I know it was something he was really looking forward to.

A good friend of mine died near the end of college in a car accident and I still think about it pretty often. I'd like to tell him that he is missed and that I think he was a good influence on me in a time where I could have easily headed down a much worse path. Here's a picture I took while hanging out with some mutual friends before he died, where my car's odometer rolled over to the word "BOOBS" which he would have thought was funny, and also made fun of me for laughing at.

I'd love to participate but I don't have pictures of me or take pictures of anything, and when I do take pictures they're digital and I don't keep them for more than however long it takes me to show it to the person I took it for.

My happiest memory is performing at Radio City Music Hall as part of an orchestra. When I first walked out on the stage to look out on the empty seats pointed at us, I started to cry. I don't consider myself an overtly emotional person, but that wouldn't be the first time I came to tears that weekend performing there to a full house. It was an amazing experience.

My saddest memory is the time somebody tried to rape me while I was in a bathroom at the bus station on the way to work. I was depressed for a few weeks after that. The worst part about it was that it made it hard to give strangers the benefit of the doubt, which I used to like to do.

Where I went to college, there was a hill that overlooked a lake, and at the top of the hill there was a fence made of long logs that divided the campus from a golf course. Starting in my junior year, I went up there and sat on the fence and watched the sun set slowly over the lake and the woods and the town and listened to the sounds of sparrows flying home, and the geese creaking their wings overhead, and the wind. I went no matter what the weather was, no matter what was going on in my life, no matter how much work I had. It's the completest commitment I've ever had to an activity that fed a deep part of me.

My happiest memory is when I moved out. I missed my parents, but I loved the feeling of independence. Knowing I'm not beholden to anybody is so freeing, even if it doesn't really mean much for me.

The happiest moment in my life is when I was very young, maybe before teenage years, and I lived a couple miles from the beach. We had a tropical storm make landfall, and I walked the long (at that age) distance to the beach to see what the storm was doing. I could see the waves crashing up the boardwalk and into the storefronts, and the police had put up barricades to keep people out. They were pitiful, I easily hopped one and ran up and down the boardwalk. I jumped into the wind, which threw me backwards and I rolled around while the waves crashed over me. I never felt more happy or blissful as that moment.

I got a girl pregnant, and because she was pregnant, I proposed and we got engaged. In the 22nd week of her pregnancy, she started having horrible stomach pain. At first they diagnosed her with gallstones and sent her back home for the night, but things kept getting worse and we ended up in the ER. 22 weeks is right on the edge of viability for the NICU, but our son didn�t make it. Because of the advanced stage of the pregnancy for a miscarriage, she had to be in one of their birthing rooms, so it was just like she was having a full term baby, with the nurses and the doctors telling her to push, except she was completely out of it on all the Xanax and I think maybe Oxycontin they'd given her for stress and pain. I didn�t have any of that though. Someone had to view the child and sign some papers, so I did that. I don�t even remember what the papers were, but I will never forget what that baby looked like�definably human but obviously not ready for the world.

I grew up an only child and then, for whatever reason, my ma started having more kids after I moved out of the house. Some of my happiest memories have been hanging out with them and watching them grow up. My little brother was born on a weekend when I was farm-sitting for some friends, and it was a very nice weekend.
