My little anecdote:

One Saturday morning, I wake up fumbling and squirming myself on the bed. But all the effort I put in to awakening would soon desist when my body yielded to a little more sleep. During that half-asleep-and-awake state where I dropped in and out of consciousness. I had a small and terse revelation of the meaning of life!!! In that short period of time, I was so elated – bliss beyond words. I remember it now: so clear and simple the meaning and so happy that I figured it out. I awoke, left with that feeling and that meaning. I told myself I would write it down. But after the routine of warm-ups, brushing my teeth, and eating breakfast, I forgot all about it (arggghhh!!!!)…. until my friend called me about doing something and then it hit me, "Wow, I had an epiphany this morning! Now, what was the meaning of life again!" All I was left with was that ecstatic feeling and a residual memory of the meaning. I told my friend about it and he was laughing lightheartedly at my misfortune. If only I could remember, and it was only a sentence long too. Oh well..."

That's my story, what's yours?

Age six: "Wow, the world sucks and people are mean and stupid."

When I realized that there is no person named Lynyrd Skynyrd.

When I realized intarweb must be purged.

Akira

When I realized that everyone in grade 6 hated my guts after I made fun of this one kid.

The moment I realized it was pronounced Chick-FILL-A instead of Chicka-Flicka. (And I swear I called it that for like 2 years)

taboo, you made my day! That's so funny…. :D I say it like this: Chick-Fillet (fill-lÃ).

What is this? Some kind of self-proclaimed mission to destroy all of the Internet!!! Please don't!!! I, as Cess Blue, am innocent, just another bystander on the information super highway. ;)

I've had many epiphanies in my life, some of them silly, some of them shook the foundations of how I thought of the world and my place in it. Not too shabby at 26, if I do say so myself.

Sparing people the truly earth-shattering ones, since those don't tend to be too impressive unless you're the one having them anyway, I'll share of of my more embarrassing ones. I hope you appreciate it.

In high school I was involved in the school plays and musicals and my second year doing it we did a play called "The Matchmaker" by Thornton Wilder. Very fun play and I had a great role, but for some reason I just hadn't payed very much attention to it the whole time we were working on it. It wasn't until months afterward when I had, for whatever reason, decided to try and write the play out as a novel, that I realized that the reason I spent a good portion of my first scene moving hats from one end of the shop to another, redecorating them, and generally babbling like a moron, is because I was expecting a visit from a potential husband candidate. Even though I stated specifically that I was expecting a visit from him several times. I just never made the connection between that and my blocking directions for some reason. Let me tell you, I felt like you could have used my head to anchor boats after that synapse finally fired. Never wanted a second shot at doing something so badly in my life.

Greatest epiphany?
When a huge guy hammered me head down to the pavement with a punch and nearly cracked my skull, leavin me unconscious. Then I dreamt that I was chasin two black horses and when I touched them, they looke me straight to the eyes and flied away. And when I woke up, in the hospital, I still had this pic in my mind, and I was like "Wow. Horses"

Paulie

A friend of mine called me up. She, apparantly, got into Harvard on a full ride. Now, understand, she's a smart girl and all, but the two of us were always in competition… It was always the case that I knew more than her, that I could beat her in strategy, and, quite simply, I was smarter than her. Realizing that she could get into Harvard on a full ride made me realize that, had I applied myself, I could have done the same.

Then I shrugged and went back to playing Star Ocean.

Yoska

I was at a driving school's theory class and there I was, glancing down to the teacher when I realised that humans truly evolves from apes. Don't get me wrong here, but the guy just looked like he had escaped from the Planet of Apes - he was a nice fellow though.

SuperJew

My greatest epiphany? Hmmm…

Probably in Astronomy class, talking about the Big Bang and what will happen to the Universe (either the Big Crunch or the Big Freeze), when I realized that everything comes and goes in full circle and that there is such a thing as the Karmatic Boomerang.

Akeisha

My epiphany…let me think...

I know! I was sitting on the beach, starring at the sea, watching the sunset (a hopless romantic I know) than I realized how small we are and how insignificant humans are. I felt bliss and total happiness... :mellow:
