Tell me A Story from your Life

[Adrenaline Junkie]

Hey, the title pretty much says it all but i'll go ahead and explain anyway, the jist it that you post a story or event in your life that you find important or funny, your pick, discuss them also, just thought it would be cool to hear what wacky/funny or even normal things have happened in lives of some of DV's members. I'll start off with one... I was with my grandma who died about a year ago now and we went down to the local park, i was very young and this park was on the estate i live on, we went down as we always would and we went in and i played around and then i ran off into the wooded area by the side of the park. I ran down this path i'd never seen before, there were these hollow trees there, and i for some reason i got really sad. I then turned and stung myself on a nettle, i was young at the time and you could say that my mind was very simplistic, i got stung by the nettles and i jumped to the conclusion that it was the nettles that had hollowed out the trees and i thought that they were trying to attack me so i ran into the hollow tree and began to cry. I then heard my grandma calling for me because i was lost and i ran to her saying that the nettles were trying to get me because i found out what they did to the trees. Lol, i can't understand why i was so simple minded back then, funny though when i think back on it now haha! I was very young but it was one of my best memories because my grandma saved me from the nettles

I'll never forget the time I thought I saw my friend Joey in the hallway of my house, muttering about wolves attacking him. I was getting mad because he wouldn't answer when I said his name, so there I sat in my bed after just being awakened, yelling at nothing in the middle of the night. Eventually I got up and tried to make him pay attention. He vanished of course, and I felt pretty stupid. I really started yelling too.

Dumbest but most intense 10 minutes of my life. Dont try this... One time when I first got my drivers license, I was speeding like 95 mph on a highway and I had illegal stuff on me, when a cop flashed on his lights and went after me. So, I immediatly pulled a U turn and went the other way because I knew I can get away since I can do it on foot . Then he crossed the median right behind me and I was scared as shit but just went faster. like 5 seconds later I saw a neighborhood that can cut through to mine, so I took it and kept taking crazy turns on each road but he was still there. Then I took a super turn and basically drifted perfect, and he was behind me, but flew into a ditch haha. So, then I just drove home and pulled in the garage. Later, cops came to my door and tried to get me to confess, because he got my tags. I just said nawww, those are my tags, but I think you misread them cuz that wasnt me lol. still cant believe im not in trouble for that.

Michael, that is AWESOME. You are one lucky bastard. I have many, many stories of my life, some sad, some happy, some intense. I think I'll start with my biggest one. So in grade 9 (14 years old) I was getting big into stupid stuff. I had started smoking weed quite a bit, and then got caught (I'll tell that story later), and instead of stopping I just moved onto doing ecstasy. Me and my friend had been popping every weekend for months, until the unfortunate day... So my friend and I were waiting patiently one night for my mom to go to bed, like usual. We were supposed to sneak out and meet up with the girls next door around 1 and 'hang out'. Unfortunately, my mom didn't go to bed until 12:30 (and we had to wait a little while before we assumed she had fallen asleep). It was around then that we both took our caps and waited, wondering if the girls next door were still going to be up. The euphoria came quickly, and that cloud-walking feeling, and we decided it was time. We snuck down the stairs past my moms room as quietly as possible, then went out the door and out onto the street. We moved to my neighbours driveway, and then to her sliding glass door; but when we looked in it was dark. The girls had already gone to bed. So my friend and I, in our chemically-induced state, decided to walk all the way to the 7-11 to get a drink (which was about a 45 minute walk one way). So we go, and we return at about 3 in the morning. I'm completely mindblown at this point. We approach the door, open it, and go inside... it is here where I came up with a 'plan' and slammed the door shut, shaking the house. My friend wheeled around and said, "What the fuck are you doing?!" and I looked at him calmly and said I had a plan. So we started walking up the stairs past my moms room and quietly I hear her call out my name. Everything I had planned out completely evaporated, and she asked what I was doing. Now, when you're on e, the truth comes out a lot easier, so naturally (and quite robotically) I replied, "Uh, we were outside." Now her tone becomes more suspicious and she tells me to come into her room and turn on the lights. So I do so, and I'm fucking going haywire, and as the lights turn on I know I'm about to get busted. I knew for a fact my pupils were gigantic. My mom crawled out of her bed and said, "You're fucking stoned," and I just looked at her and said: "No." Eventually she got it out of me that I did something (managed to tell her I just smoked a joint) but I still got in biiiig trouble. Me and my friend were sketching out the rest of the night and didn't fall asleep. Needless to say it was very awkward the next morning. One of the worst nights of my life.

lol interesting. Strange things seem to happen around me, but as soon as I typed that in, I can't seem to remember one. Anyway here's one or two short ones: There's a bunny park up the road from where I used to live - and a friend and I (we must have been like 10 or 11) went down there to look at the bunnies. We're standing there eating ice-cream when a bunny hops right up to us. My friend (I think it might have been instinct lol) picks up the bunny, one hand, by both ears in the air (like in cartoons). The bunny, being terrified and probably in some pain, kicks his ice-cream out his had and goes WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE really loudy. We, terrified and in complete shock (who knew bunnies could squeal?) ran away and I don't think we've ever returned. Then at school, we were around 15 maybe 16, amongst our friends we had this thing we'd say whenever someone told a lame joke (and that happened often) we'd go: Ahee ahee my side are split (which probably sounds totally stupid, but if you know any afrikaans people who speak english with an accent you'll have some idea. Kinda like: I can like to wear a jean pant. google it ). So we're in a classroom, drinking milo during break (my friend's mom was a teacher so we got to stay in her room and keep warm during lunchtime), and im standing to one side, 2 of my friends to the other, and then other people near the door. Someone says a stupid joke, and one of the 2 sitting next each other takes a sip of his milo. As he does this (entirely coincidentally) I say "Ahee ahee my side are split". Everyone bursts out laughing - him included - and he sprays his entire mouthful of milo all over the guy next to him at which point we all of course continue laughing hysterically. The guy recently sprayed with milo just looks at us, dead straight face, and takes a sip of his milo. I have to say it was one of the funniest moments at school ever lol. I guess you had to be there *wipes tears from eyes avoiding glares from co-workers*

Here's a funny early memory. I was 6, and I was walking next to my house with my brother who was 9 and a friend who was 7. Well, a car stops, and out of it comes this geeky guy with square glasses, and asked us if we want to come with him so he could be our new "dad". All three of us were smart kids and we immediately knew he was some crazy pervert, but it was so obvious that we were not scared and didn't run away, instead we made fun of him. So it went something like this: pervert: I'll be a good dad, I'll buy you a skateboard! we: What, we don't like skateboard, don't you have some video games? pervert: Yes, and I'll give you candies! we: Candies? yuck, we hate candies! It went like this for a while until he gave up and walked away.

Haha, that sounds like a Micheal Jackson way to get a kid, games and candy- Well, it's not the dumbest moment of my life, but it sure was the most amusing 'short' trip to get drinks and such ever [though it'd be better to live it out rather than be told it]- Bored, thirsty, and 100% full of too sweet chocolate, me and two of my drama pals take the short way to the school's junk food center, the Bear's Den. Fastest route? Via band/drama hallway. Things we do while taking the short way- ~Go into both the boys and girls changing rooms ~Break a doorknob sneaking onto the stage ~Act as ninjas [hey, we have an excuse, 'thespians and neophytes'] around sound proof practice rooms and point into front of the glass doors for one of us to check who's in there, our hands were totally visible... ~End up pointing to, not only an occupied room, but a room with two people making out on the floor Yeah... the things we do... As to why we were sneaking around? We were taking up a bet from an upper class men that we were more 'ninja' than he was to get away from us 'stalking' him...we won, but I'm that couple probably thought we were watching them make out or something with all that pointing and all...

ok I got a couple, really embarrassing, but totally hilarious (to you) stories for you guys ok first one I was about twelve or thirteen and I was sitting in my older cousins room over christmas vacation playing his brand new final fantasy seven game (and I mean brand new, so that tells you about how old I am) by the way this is an older cousin, at the time he was about eighteen or nineteen, and I look over on his bed side table and I see this little spray capsule looking thing, and the first thing that pops into my mind were those old movies where the sleazy guy would always spray that binaca or whatever it was and slick his hair back, anwyay, so thats what I think this bottle is right, so I pick it up and I try to read whats on the bottle, but its all in like german or something, so I spray some one my hand and smell it and it smells like peppermint, and so im like hey I have always wanted to try this stuff, you know, and so i spray it into my mouth and ALOT comes out and it was horrible tasting, just then my parents call me upstairs to leave and as im going up the stairs my mouth starts getting hotter and hotter and then when I think it cant get any hotter, it gets hotter and hotter still, and I start freaking out on everyone cause I suddenly realize what I had just done, and I start yelling "I just drank pepper spray" as tears are rolling down my face as im chugging water, my family is trying to hold back tears of laughter as my mom calls poison control and my aunt just calmly goes over to the freezer and gives me an orange creamsicle it sucked and now at every family reunion everyone gets to relive the joke at my expense, but I will tell you, if you every get sprayed in the mouth with pepper spray, eat a creamsicle or a popsicle, and let it coat the inside of your mouth, it will totally cut the heat, its amazing second story, im sitting at lunch sophomore year of highschool, really deep in conversation and you know those little cartons of milk, everyone always shook up their milk before they opened it and drank it, anyway, I was really really deep into conversation and I open up my milk and something happens and I forget about it and set it down, then a few minutes later, totally forgetting that I already opened my milk, I pick it up and shake it like I always do, but this time it was already open and I spill it all over my friend Jordon sitting next to me, everyone laughed and that was the first and last time that I had ever heard Jordon use the F word, I was so embarrassed, but later, he went home and changed, and it went into the year book as one of the funniest lunch time moments of the year
