Re: Poll to get the day going
No one is going to fess up?
Where to start.......
In HS we used to do stupid (funny stupid) $hit all the time. Rode around in cars with like 8 of in there, drove around with people in the trunk, we used to steal road cones/construction signs, yard ornaments from old peoples yards, flags off houses then take them to some random classmates house and set them all up in their front yards. Dumb stuff like that.
Uhh... I have a few.
-One that really freaks me out is getting in a random truck for a ride home from the bar in Peru.. granted, it was just a couple blocks and up a hill (lol) but after what happened there last year.. freaks me out. Up until then, I wouldnt think twice about doing something like that there.
-When I was younger I would drive home after drinking when I shouldnt have. Looking back, that about makes me sick.
Yeah, pretty much everything really stupid has been when I've been wasted. Good thing my drinking days are over (for the most part, ha!). I look back on that time of my life and smile, because it was crazy fun..and I have lots of stories.. but dang! I am a lucky girl.
OH man, where to start....
Scavenger hunts, we used to take two cars, 4 people in each, drink heavily, then make a list of things to collect and then meet back in the HS parking lot and see who was done first. Not only were we stealing things from people's yards etc, we were drinking and driving and going back to school property. Oy.
I was always the youngest person, so I dated older guys and could usually go to bars when I wasn't old enough. One time my parents were out of town and we went out then decided to go to a huge party on a farm and it got busted, I got an indecent exposure ticket for going pee outside. Thank god they didn't give me an MIP
We went skinny dipping, alot.
In washington we used to sneak out, steal the hay truck and go wake up peoples animals by driving through the fields going like 100 miles an hour blaring our horns, we are lucky we never killed ourselves or hurt anyones livestock!
-When I was 16 my mom rented a limo for my birthday. Like 6 of use girls went downtown. We went into the shop Retro and smoked pot in the bathroom - out of toilet paper roll.
-Like 2 years ago we packed about 15 people into our 8 person limo. We all (except DH who was the driver) we drinking heavily in the back. We decided to go to the playhouse. One of our guy friends passed out before we got there, so we just left him in the limo. When we came out he was pased out still but leaning up against the seat w/ he pants around his ankles and his wallet was next to him with all his money gone. No one knows what happened...
- My entire freshman year of college. We'd leave a party and drive around the country, drinking. I remember many mornings waking up on my dorm room floor wondering how the hell I got home only to find out I drove.
- My friend S and I were drinking in the dorms one night and decided to go out to the country. We saw a road sign saying "mimimum maintenance road ends" and thought nothing of it. Not 100 yards later we were stuck in a giant mud puddle, drunk, trying to push my car out. We ended up having to call our RA (S's sister's boyfriend) to come pull us out. God we were stupid.
- DH, SIL, BIL and I came <thisclose> to being arrested for trying to steal a boat in MN about 5 years ago. We were all shitfaced and had walked to the bar from BIL's parents cabin. Some dude told us "hey, my boat's out there. take it for a spin." Why we believed this random guy I have no idea. It was NOT his boat....obviously.

In the small town I'm from in NC, there's an abandoned "mansion" with a creepy story behind it... about 10 of us broke in and spent approximately 3 hours looking through the house one night. It was very creepy, first place I've seen with a real "slave quarters" in it. Anyway, as we were walking down the driveway (about half a mile long), we noticed a light, what we assumed was the basement light, switching on and off. Needless to say, we almost ran out of our own skin trying to get out of there.
Not the best story, but it sticks in my mind for sure.
My senior year of HS I went to visit a guy friend who went to CU Boulder. We got wasted at some party and I got seperated from the group and wandered around Boulder by myself for a while until I randomly met some girl who happened to live on his floor and she helped me get back there.
We used to drive around and pick-up guys. We met some total "winners" doing that... i hate to think what could have happened.
We also used to pile far too many people in the car. We used to drink and drive and get older guys we barely knew to buy alcohol for us.
I got wasted at the Rugby house my first weekend of college. I didn't really know anyone there, except for one of the roommates who brought us there and the girls I was with from my dorm floor left me there- lucky for me the guys there were awesome (I also happened to meet my DH (another roommate) that night). I crashed out on a futon in one of the rooms.
Basicially when I think back, I cringe thinking Maren will do the same things I did.
I have no idea why, but this made me think of a story from college.
My old roommate would DIE if she knew I told this story or brought it up to anyone, but oh well. 
We went to a party at one of the Frat houses at UNL, can't remember which one, but they used to always have the big party where they put all the sand in the front yard? Anyway, we all got seperated and we couldn't find her when we left so we just left her there and went onto the next party then home.
At that time she wasn't my roommate, but was really good friends with my friend from HS that I lived with in Lincoln, so I think that's why she called our house...Anyway, the next morning after that party I noticed there was a message on the answering machine (back before voicemail days) and played it and it was from her the night before and she was WASTED and I had no idea what she was saying and that it was even her at first, but we think she was trying to tell us where she was. She kept saying "The Nebraska Horn Cuskers are here! The Nebraska Horn Cuskers are here on the wall! And Evita! Evita is here! Hey Evita, do you know where I am? Can you help me." I think we pretty much determined where ever she was there was a Cornhusker poster on the wall and Evita as on TV. We saved that message forever and played it all the time. She can't remember that night at all and didn't know she called. Actually, pretty scary if you think about it, who knows what the heck happened that night, but at the time it was pretty funny to the rest of us. We still laugh about it.
