1] My first day of kindergarten, I was playing on a board with wheels on it. I don't remember what it was called, but it was basically just a yellow square with wheels at each corner. You could sit, lay, or, if you were brave enough, stand on it and roll around. I used to think they were the original skateboard. I don't think that anymore. I was playing on one during recess and hit a huge crack in the sidewalk. I was trying to be brave that day, since it was the very first day, and I fell off the board. I ended up smashing my nose on the ground. Honestly, I'm surprised it didn't break. I just bled everywhere instead. I remember waiting outside for my dad to come pick me up, because my mom worked nights and was sleeping, when a bee landed on my forehead and stung me.
2] The first boy I married was named Brian. We were around 7 years old and it was conducted on the playground. He gave me one of those rings with the adjustable bands and little fake diamonds in them [mine was blue]. I still have the ring even though we're not friends anymore.
3] I remember being very jealous when, after we stopped being friends, I found out he was 'dating' another girl. She wasn't a terrible girl, and even tried to befriend me on several occasions. I could never bring myself to like her though. I think she got pregnant her freshman year, but not by him.
4] I had this friend and she had a few heart problems, one of which was an enlarged heart. We all used to joke that she was really sweet because she had a big heart. Which doesn't make sense, because she really wasn't all that sweet.
5] My sister one time gave that girl a caffeine pill. Apparently, because of her heart problems, this was not a good idea. Her mom found out and told our dad. He became convinced that my sister, who was probably around 10 at the time, was on drugs and searched her room until he found her diary, which he read to see if it had anything about drugs in it. It didn't. She never wrote in another diary again. The pills were my dads.
6] When we were little, our neighbor was getting rid of her guinea pig. My dad was at work and my mom was sleeping because that was when she was working third shift. My sister and I learned that if we asked our mom things while she was still sleeping, we could usually get what we wanted. We asked if we could have the guinea pig and our mom said yes, as long as it came with a cage. It did. The guinea pig, Chloe, lived till the ripe old age of 10. We really aren't sure why.
7] When I was a sophomore, I gave a friend some prescription painkillers. He ended up trying to sell them and got caught. He was charged with dealing and I was charged with trafficking. In the end, I got off a lot lighter than he did. The pills were my dads.
8] A year later, that same boy skipped school while on acid because he thought he was going to be attacked during class. He went to a park, kidnapped a woman and her two young children saying that he had a gun, and raped the woman. He was caught and is in jail for 20 years.
9] My vision is a little weird, so I wear a contact in only my left eye. During winter my eyes get dry because of the heaters. I carry eye drops with me because a dry contact is a painful contact. I had run out of eye drops made for contacts, so I took some regular eye drops because I didn't think it was a big deal. Turns out there's an ingredient in regular drops that makes your pupil dilate if left on your eye for too long. Since I only have the one contact, my left eye dilated...a lot. I was at school and mentioned to my friend that I kept seeing sparks of light. He looked at me and told me I should go to the nurse. So I went and she sent me to the emergency room because she thought I had a concussion. I had cracked my head on a shelf the day before, so it seemed plausible. Those eye drops ended up costing a $200 trip to the ER.
10] The first time I drove after getting my temps, I was going down a back road to get to my house because my mom was scared of getting me around other people just yet. I was scared of totaling the car like my sister did her first time driving, so I was going a little slow. Very slow. There was someone behind me and he was annoyed with my lack of driving skills. Looking back on it, I would feel the same way if I were driving behind someone like me. We got to a stop sign, and just as I was getting ready to start going again, he pulls out from behind me and cuts me off. I was very angry and laid on the horn while yelling and making slightly rude hand gestures. To this day, I'm still glad he did that, deep down, because I got to honk angrily my first time driving.

oh if it could have been funny brdn_nkd.
unfortunately it wasn't.....and it wasn't bob marley.
I'm still living it down to this day, because the first guy that I slept with on more than one occasion felt it a GREAT idea to flat with my best friend. Not to mention with his girlfriend (who he forgot to mention to me at the time) who lives with him too.
Is it anti-female, that I think this one of the funniest situations that someone could be in?

One Weekend, while out drinking with mates and I met a guy who was a friend of a friend. We hit it off and later that night we had drunken half-remembered sex.
The next weekend I went to a gig and met another guy who I ended up fooling around with that night. I went back to his place and in the morning on my way out of the bathroom, guess who I bump into.

Heh, sorry Berty. Immediately after hitting the 'Submit' button I went to sleep.
And I hate to say it, but 8 is most definitely real...

Nothing personal, but this bandwagon should have ended a long, long time ago.

Come on the Purple, talk to me! I'm terribly bored and Id and Rob_Berg aren't fighting nearly bitterly enough with one another to keep me entertained.

Both you and your father are adorable lunatics. Shame about your former friend the rapist though.
