Wild Wednesday
What is the "wildest" thing you did when you were young?

Re: Wild Wednesday
I dont have anything good to share - I was pretty tame... but my sister - she was crazy... When she was 13 or 14, she skipped school, hoped a train to NYC (we lived in CT), snuck into the NBC building, and ran around the halls searching for Hanson! (the MMMbop band)... She was obsessed with them... kinda like how kids are obsessed with Justin Bieber today...
They were caught, and kicked out of the building, and then Rosie ODonnell mentioned my sis on the show! She asked the Hanson Brothers a question to the effect of: "Do you know there are some fans that love you so much, that they broke intothe NBC building today to look for you!?"
I have to plead the fifth on this one.
Did you forget that we went college and were in the same sorority!?!
One of mine would be piercing my navel. Another one would be sneaking wine coolers into my friends family camper (where we would have sleepovers) when we were in middle and HS.
I wasn't much of a wild child - too afraid of getting in trouble.
When I was 19, and home from college for the summer, a friend wanted to go to NYC for her birthday, specifically to a couple of clubs. We get into a cab and she asks to be brought to The Limelight (if you've never heard of it, it was THE place to be in the late 80's/early 90's -this was '91. It was an old church renovated into a dance club). It was the kind of place where Club Kids hung out (another interesting story if you've never heard of them) and drugs were dealt openly. I was sure that we wouldn't get "called in" because of the way we were dressed - more preppy then punk - but we got pulled right in. I always felt it was a little wrong to be dancing to techno in the former chapel (all the religious windows were still there) and then it was confirmed when the cage dancers were brought down. I still remember the one room that had peacock feathers all over the walls, and running into some of the Club Kids.
I was reading an article on the Club Kids the other day and someone made me look up some things. I guess it was good that we didn't know that at 12:30 on Friday nights that summer (exactly when we were there) that the DJ had large trash cans filled with "Ectascy Punch" - alcohol, juice, and $1000 in crushed up pills. I was uncomfortable in the club then, but I guess it's fun to say I spent a night there once.
I just hope if I have a daughter she doesnt do what I did but I think one of the "wildest" things was- the summer before ninth grade- I would sneak out with 2 of my girlfriends and meet on Main Street in Binghamton- we would walk towards downtown and usually get picked up by random people and go where ever they were going...we felt ok since there were three of us but seriously, we could have been killed...
oh and the summer between ninth and tenth I hooked up with a radio dj- who thought I was 18- he was 21....he moved away at the end of the summer and I didnt tell him my real age
I'm pretty lame too. I was always worried about getting into trouble. Such a goody-goody.
That being said, I did to go my first keg party in 9th grade. I thought I was so cool.
I assure you that it was probably way too wild to post on an internet forum and keep my dignity
With that said, I have no regrets in life and always manage to have fun!!
