Mistakes Made

Crush

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:18:11 +0000

Ok I’m gonna tell you about a girl named Lucy(not real name). This is a girl I had a crush on when I was younger. I first saw Lucy working out at my gym. I did gymnastics for 8 or 9 years and basically lived in the gym my entire childhood. I found out she was 16 or 17 years old, and at the time I was maybe 13. Lucy was amazing, and I was fascinated by her right away. She was very shy and after working out each day with others in her level she would go off by herself and do about a half and hour of her own conditioning post work out, work out. I admired her work ethic and how she looked in that leotard. I started really liking her, in that I don’t ever talk to you but have formed huge assumptions about your life through looking at you alot, sort of way. Since we didn’t talk all that much I had to look for other ways to connect with her. At the gym we worked out in, there was a big room where all the gymnasts would keep their stuff, coats, gym bags, and such. Lucy kept her stuff here too. When I was alone in there I would look to see what kind of coat Lucy had, and if her bag was unzipped I could catch a glimpse of what she carried in there. But what I wanted was a momento, something of hers I could carry with me. I found a $20 bill in her coat pocket. I took it, and I swear it was not because I wanted money but because it was hers. I think there was some smaller bills, but in my mind the $20 bill was the largest quantity and probably most valuable to her and something about that made it more special to me. I didn’t spend it, I cherished it. Then one day I really needed money and had to use the $20, it sucked but when I got the change and tried to cherish that, but it was harder. Every time I would spend more of it I tried to save the change to keep “Lucy” with me. Eventually I spent every penny. I was sad, and I felt stupid. It wasn’t stealing if I kept the money forever. But I didn’t, I just took it and spent it, like it was an ordinary $20 bill.

I knew I messed up and had to prove that I did love her by taking ANOTHER one of her $20 bills and keep it forever.

Now I wish I could tell you me and Lucy are together today and that I still have that $20 bill, but I can’t. She ended up going to college and my love faded. There were a few times after the second $20 that I thought about taking more money but I think I started to realize that this was unhealthy. I realize this is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done, and hate writing about it, but It’s all true and somewhat funny, so there it is. After posting this one I sort of wanna start writing nice, non crazy things that i’ve done to counterbalance the last few posts. Leave me a comment telling me if I’m weirding you people out. Or if you like this sort of stuff.

I was such a jerk. I witnessed some little girl wipe out on some ice on her bike. I was cracking up real hard and people were giving me nasty looks. Then I slipped on the ice and fell square on my arse

Being observant

Thu, 22 Jan 2009 22:16:42 +0000

I was riding home on my bike, and a car started to overtake me. Being kind, I pulled in slightly, and watched the car overtake. I looked back in front of me to see the arse end of a hatchback. Ouch.

Bad Luck

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 05:00:16 +0000

Talk about bad luck. I was driving on the highway and it had just started raining, so the roads started to become a bit slick. I was in the middle lane, and an SUV was a short way ahead of me, but in the right lane. All of a sudden they lost control, and swerved off the highway. The bad part was that there was a 30 or 40 ft. section of guard rail missing on the ENTIRE highway, and they happened to go through the missing part, causing the car to fall down a 5 or 10 ft. ditch.

Stupid Driver almost hits School Bus

Alyssa — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:39:03 +0000

This didn’t happen to me because I wouldn’t be that dumb, but heres what happened. I was on a two lane road, and the cars ahead of me where barely moving. A guy behind me seemingly got really impatient and decided he would be smart and pass all of us. Well, just as he sped up to pass through the lane he almost collided head on with a school bus. He swerved off the side of the road and crashed his car into a pile of junk on someone’s yard.Gosh, some people just cant be patient.

Be careful where you stick your penis

Matt S — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:55:23 +0000

Ok guys… just a word of advice from someone with experience. Unless you want to go through extensive surgery and many months of pain and suffering, when you are in a pool do not stick your penis into the little hole that sucks in water. Trust me, it is not worth it.

I knew you were coming so I baked a cake…

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 04:39:12 +0000

NOT! Living on Guam we were experiencing a tropical storm of some magnitude. Electricity went out, we thought of the guys in the barracks with nothing to do, no power, external darkness about to fall. Invite them over..we had battery powered everything. Husband went to round his guys up, bring them over. I decided to whip up a couple of cakes, hors d’oeuvres while waiting for them to arrive. He returns with ten guys, asks me what I was doing. “Have to feed them, give them a treat…baking cakes and snacks…” Guys grin “Wow! Home cooking!” He asked me “How??”. And I could only close my eyes in embarrasment as I remember my ELECTRIC stove.

How I almost Failed 12th Grade English

Mike G. — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 03:09:17 +0000

Ok, so first of all, let me just say that im not a bad student. Bascially, we had to do this huge project our senior year, which involved a paper and a presentation, and a bunch of stuff in between. My topic was clay animation. I never did the paper(Procrastinated, then just couldn’t find enough info in time). However, i worked for two weeks on an actual clay animation to put into my presentation slideshow. As usual, I procrastinate and wait until the very last night to prepare my powerpoint. I finish at around 1:30 am, put all my stuff together, put the video in there, and go to sleep. The next morning, I was very nervous of course( we were presenting to 3 people who we did not know). Lucky for me, my presentation wasn’t until 10am or so, so i had time to go over my notes. Finally, it is my turn to do my presentation. Everything is fine, I go through all my slides, and finally its time to show my two weeks of hard work. So, I click on the last slide to start the video, and nothing happens. I was mortified and totally embarrassed. It turned out I never uploaded the video, only an image. And i was too lazy and tired the night I was working on my power point to check everything. Of course I should have known to include the video on the flash drive. Well, you wouldn’t believe it, but they gave me a perfect score, despite the fact I was missing half my presentation. Perhaps it was pity, I’ll never know. I learned my lesson though. Now I always check all of my power points, to make sure everything is properly saved and works on another computer. Can’t take any chances.
