What is your most creative moment of all time?
I'm not sure about me, but I do remember my mom made me wear a winter cap that pulled down with eye and mouth holes. I was laughed at loudly. I responded by saying I was (no, not a convenience store robber) Fat Albert's best friend. They shut up.

1. Let's just say that I grew up in an atmosphere where intellect
was everything. Math, science, writing, or whatever. My most creative momemt waw making a wreath at a craft store. It turned out well. First art project I'd ever done that I was happy about. Led to a whole new outlook on life.

2. (Sigh) I admit it. My misspent youth, and creative ways I bedded.
They were so wonderful 30 years ago, and the things I did to creatively bed them. "Of all the girls I loved before. . ."

3. Can't really say...
Because people are always coming up to me and saying, "Hey, remember when you did/said this?" And I say and do so many weird things that I can't keep track of things.

At my last job, a co-worker/friend and I did play well off each other. I remember this just from the response that it got from a fellow co-worker we didn't like. :)

Setup is my friend and I on one side of a row of cubicles, and the disliked co-worker (dc) on the other side. Fourth co-worker (fc) goes to dc's cubicle.

fc: What's the word?
me: (Before dc can respond) Haven't you heard? The bird is the word!
friend: I thought Grease Was the Word?
me: Let's compromise... The Greasy Bird is the Word. Ducks are pretty greasy so let's say, "The Duck is the Word."
friend: Okay. Let's go with that. Glad we figured it out.
fc: Are they always like this?
dc: (Disgusted) YES!

5. A poem about hockey I wrote for poetry class..
in college. The professor said it was a highlight of his career. That class was my only A the whole time in 4-year college - got an A- in a computer class.

6. I have a few per day
I used to be constantly creative.
I don't know if I have a time that stands out. That would be like my husband asking me what our best time having sex was now, which he did in the first month of our relationship. Creativity is part of who I am. I have gotten in a bit of a rut with life and mindless work which has lessened my creativity a bit, but I still have it.
I liked my colored pencil drawing of a tulip with thorns. I also liked my short story about a woman who killed her husband with an overdose of a recreational drug. Then there was the longer story about the Nationalist secret sorority at the all women's college that was part of a curse associated with a ghost and how one of the would be initiates goes through a spiritual struggle and finally ends the curse. Then there was how I solved the problem of weighting the centrifuge when I broke one of the Babcock bottles at work. I also mess with the colors on my desktop at work and the coloring of the text to make things more interesting. I also made kick ass chili for the chili cook off at work, but not enough people appreciated the combination of flavors. I guess that is more than one moment.
